He speaks as if we are listening to the Radio and not watching TV, and he never shuts up!. Has he never heard the phrase "Less is more!" ........ We want James Allen to return to his rightful place alongside Martin Brundle in the commentary box.

Alongside the eminent Martin Brundle (one of the most respected and knowledgeable figures in F1) he sounds totally amateurish. He is ill-informed, dull, irritating, states the obvious and gets his words mixed up! He clearly has no real enthusiasm for F1.
Did the BBC feel that there had to be one "BBC man" and therefore did not consider James Allen for the job? James has to be the ideal man to work alongside Martin.

Currently, I watch the GPs on the TV (BBC) but listen to the race with Radio5 Live - which is great but unfortunately, it does mean I don't get to hear Martin Brundle which is a pity but on balance, my enjoyment of the GPs is boosted by not hearing J Leggard...
