That's pretty much what he's doing now, if it got any more coverage you wouldn't be able to tell it was an F1 show...
I disagree... Fair enough, he's using it, but as others have stated, he has made attempts to cover up the logo... I can't see why it's even an issue anyway, as Formula one is littered with sponsorship, wherever you look.
Take another example. My band is practically a walking advert for Gibson guitars. I play two Gibson Les Paul Standards and a custom shop Gibson Les Paul Goldtop, the rhythm guitarist has a Gibson Les Paul Standard and an old Gibson SG custom and the bass player plays a gibson Les Paul Bass... We play gibsons because they're the best... It's not an advert for Gibson. Between the three of us, we use £10300 worth of gibson guitars at each gig but the only complaints we get is from people who can't afford a real Gibson... And I quote some middle aged guy "That wee B****** has three les paul's". Seems to me, this whole arguement was started off by someone who really wants an Ipad and can't get one, or just someone who has a similar device but less fashionable... Either way, it's not an issue IMO. If Jake, DC and EJ were to wear expensive shirts with logos someone would complain... Next someone will complain about EJ modelling his favourite glasses... Or someone will complain about Jackie Stewart advertising Rolex watches when he bought Barrichello one for getting pole position (in a stewart f1 car) then he bought Johnnie Herbert one for winning a race in a stewart f1 car.
chromatic9Only thing I really noticed is Murray Walker doesn't feature on the bbc's site as much as last year. I'd expect this is down to Murray though.
I'm hoping they can get Murray to stand in as an extra member of the commentary team along with Brundle and Legard for the british grand prix... Seeing as how it's the 60th anniversary of F1.
