To cut to the chase for a moment, IMHO Suzy Perry will be an excellent addition to the Beeb's line up.
I have been an avid spectator of both WSBK and MotoGP over recent years in addition to my 4 wheel addiction and I think Suzy has always been succinct, accurate and passionate in her presenting. Her personable attitude will be welcome in F1 assuming she does her homework which I'm sure is a given. P.S. Stop knocking Jake H - he did a great job P.P.S. Bernie's avarice is beyond my comprehension irrespective of his record |

I really am surprised by some of the criticism of Jake. I thought he did a great job and am sorry to see him go.

Strange how this criticism was only voiced after he'd stopped.

I think most of us will look back on Jake's time, presenting the BBC F1 coverage and appreciate what a professional and pleasant 'front man' he became.
In the context of this thread and others of a similar nature, I've become increasingly associated with and supportive to the phrase on Garcon's signature block - "It's the Internet. Nobody cares" |

Anyone remember the Jenson Button song about him never winning a race?
Might be interesting to try Gareth Jones for some interviews and fan interactions. Quote:

No, I think he did a great job. Far better than some previous contenders IMHO

I liked him a lot; just not as much as Suzi.

I agree in so far that we're all allowed our opinions and as a result sometimes people just can't see the attraction or quality of a subject which is apparently a obvious to others.
Jake seems to be a 'marmite' case. |

Just been watching this interview of Jake and Paul di Resta on Autosport's dedicated Youtube channel. See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ulmbo...D_f1w9nVa6UhAw Very good and there are some other excellent ones especially Barry Lee's interview ... I love that guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rp4z5...D_f1w9nVa6UhAw |

I can't stand Suzi Perry..I always get the impression she loves herslef just a little *too* much.
Really disappointing to have her onscreen instead of Jake.. |

Interesting chunterer, because until I watched his interview at Auotsport International 2013, I thought he was rather up himself..
