    don't really care who is in the booth, but I would like to see an attractive female pit reporter, maybe south american, with a bit of an accent, and some nice assets! :)

    Hadn't thought about Justin Bell. He'd be good.

    It's (most likely) going to be:

    Hobbs
    Matchett
    Leigh Diffey

    Who is Diffey?

    Glad to see Hobbs and Matchett. That's great news, particularly since the idiot Varsha is not there. And no Pinzor Wiener either.

    Was hoping for Derek Daly but I'm content with Hobbs.

    Leigh Diffey is an Australian who does a lot of stuff for SPEED (mainly the news shows and some bike racing)

    I hope he is as outspoken as Buxton.

    We really don't need another PC Varsha.

    I'd put him somewhere between the two, probably more towards the Buxton side. I like him.

    You've alrerady seen him. He's the guy who's been filling in for Varsha when he's off doing Barrett Jackson.

    oh yeah, he did do a few races this year, forgot about that!

    I like him. younger and more animated than Varsha and not nearly as full of himself.

    Is Varsha definitely out @ NBC?

    If so, my god - someone pinch me... I'm dreaming!

    Usually idiotic cretins like Varsha hang around like a bad rash... but is stupidity actually going to lead to unemployment in his case? That would restore my faith in humankind.

    Rumor is that he got an transnetwork promotion.
    He's running Fox News.

    Like Bourdain.

    And there the similarities end as Anthony actually has a brain.

    My ideal on air team would be:

    Bob Constandouros
    Murray Walker
    Martin Brundell in the pits
    Bob Varsha
    Jackie Stewart for the insider views...

    Oh please not Leigh Diffey...can't stand the fake drama ("HAMILTON IS COMING !!!") and his constant massacre of Mazda as "Mass-Der" (no I'm not a Mazda owner....).

    Seriously...its not the accent...he can pronounce "Ferrari", "Porsche" and "McLaren" why not Mazda ? Oh well I guess we'll not have that issue in F1.....

    Get ready to hear a lot of "MassER." Matchett does it right now. What's with English people being unable to pronounce their own language? There's no "R" in Massa.
