I too would like Coulthard, but doesn't he already have a job?
DC, along with Eddie Jordan and Jake Humphrey, do the BBC pre- and post-race shows. Occasionally he adds a comment or two during the race, and he's done a few of the grid-walks with Martin Brundle.
He's also the Red Bull reserve driver.

You guys are putting the cart before the horse. Speed has to get broadcasting rights for F1 renewed first. After that they can replace Windsor, with ME!!!

I think DC would be GREAT for this job. I mentioned that to a colleague this morning when we were discussing who should do it. DC has presence and is well spoken and won't slobber all over Hamilton the way Windsor does. James Allen would be awful...

Matchett would be good too but I think he likes flying back and forth from France to Charlotte and my guess he wouldn't want to go to all the races.
James Allen would be much, much better than Windsor, because 1)he's not a ####. 2)He's not pretentious. 3) The Hamilton obsession wasn't his doing, 4)He's much better as a pit reporter 5) See no. 1.

Ok, I'll cover my expenses, but retain the right to brand my on-air apparel.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but FOX.SPEEDTV doesn't currently own the rights to Broadcast F1 next year, so Windsor may not even need replacing.

Back when I used to watch the F1 races on Speedvision, there was NO reporting from the race itself. Basically all we had was the commentary team yakkin away, describing what we all saw on the same screen. Except maybe they had access to live timing.
My assumption is that we will have NO pitlane reporting or reporting from the race at all.

I remember when FOX had the rights for the race after the ESPN deal ended, all they had was Sam Posey in the studio for the pre-race.
