Varsha is out. Leigh Diffey is in. Hobbs and Matchett will remain. No word on a pit lane reporter.
Je ne regrette rien.

So far, so good, given that Varsha just re-signed a contract with Speed... he might be back in 2014. Not too fond of Diffey though...

I don't care who the commentators are, I'm just glad F1 is going to be televised. I would have been really bummed out if we didn't get to see all the races.

I'm very happy to hear that Hobbs and Matchett will be back. I think that as Lee Diffy gets more experience with F1 that he will be fine. Also hope that they are able to hire Will Buckston. He's quite a charactor and brings a lot of insite to the broadcast.

I'll stick with the Sky TV broadcast torrents. Nobody is better than Martin Brundel.

Me too. Steve Matchett drives me crazy. He spent 7 years in F1 and 14 years commentating on his experiences. Time for a fresh perspective.


@SBEST - I'm not sure if you can stream Sky, but you can download the torrents from a website such as thepiratebay - do a google search.
