The Beeb provide you with an excellent alternative in Crofty and the Ant if you don't like the Ledge.

Re: Australian Grand Prix
I admire Lewis, I really do, he is such an incredible talent, and will be a winner for years to come and I will back him to the hilt 9 times out of 10.
Saying that, he had as much input into that stop that cost him potentially 2nd, as did the team - he could have put his foot down, done the math himself and with data from the team seen how JB was running on his tyres and made the call himself to stay out. (Schumi used to make those calls all the time - ultimately as Brawn and Todd have stated before, he would update his own strategy as he was racing and live or die by HIS decision, not blame the team for any faults or loss of place because of it).
He went with the TEAM decision and therefore should not blame the TEAM having been party to that decision.
It's not the first time he has not been strong enough to stand up for himself, remember "Liargate"....?
He does need to mature a bit still, so I shall not be too hard on him - just wish he would concentrate on his racing, rather than partying, doughnutting and looking to blame all around than looking to himself first.
I've never publically heard the team princinple or race engineers blaming him for crashing out or costing the team points by underperforming etc, he should have the courtesy to repay that in kind.
I just don't want to see him waste his formidable talent, and end up like, say, James Hunt - who really should have been a multiple world champion, but the lure of drink, partying and the pretty ladies took it all away from him

The BBC 606 web site has been alive with anti Legard comment, many agree with YOU that he is cramping MB's style, indeed 'talking over' himCountHermanDeBanker wrote:woody wrote:

100% agree wth that - his inane ramblings are even affecting Brundle's usually superb commentary - no end of incidents they ballsed up between them in Oz - Beeb get rid of this useless twonk NOW!
