Jake Humphrey to be replaced by Lee McKenzie for Suzuka 2010

[forty-two]

Slightly old news now, but I wondered if anyone had any thoughts about Jake being temporarily replaced by Lee McKenzie?

I for one think that her presenting style is comfortable and measured, often offering technical insights not found elsewhere. Plus she's better to look at than Jake by a LONG way.

I do wonder though how well she'll be able to keep EJ in check!

An excellent move on so many levels, but to avoid sounding like a dirty old man I'll go with the fact that she is Scottish so I'll support the home team.

Seriously though, she is a good presenter much like Suzi Perry was on the MotoGP coverage - not a complete airhead and able to engage intelligently with team members, pundits and fans alike.

Definitely better overall.

Well, I thought that Lee did a great job, despite the horror that was the non-qualifying show. I actually felt a tiny bit sorry for her having to fill for all that time.

But then I remembered I'd stayed up literally all night to see quali which then didn't happen till the following night, and my sympathy evaporated somewhat!

All in all, very refreshing IMO.

Jake had better watch out!

[woohoo]

Why does she have to look as if is about to undress ?

Well, while I can't be sure of the motives of the photographer or indeed Ms McKenzie myself, I suspect that picture was taken as a promo shot. It certainly drew my eye towards it!

For the record, I for one think she's a very attractive lady, and while she doesn't NEED to use sex to sell (as she's a proven F1 commentator), I'm not going to complain!
