Legard edging closer to Beeb exit?
Rumours that the BBC will drop Jonathan Legard from their Formula One commentary team for the 2011 season are refusing to go away.
Legard has been the Beeb's lead commentator since F1 switched from ITV to the public broadcaster in 2009.
However, there have been several reports that the BBC won't renew his contract when it expires at the end of this year after several gaffes.
Matt Scott from The Guardian wrote: 'Jonathan Legard's tenure as the chief commentator for the BBC's Formula One coverage looks increasingly threatened. There have long been rumours of a personality clash with his co-commentator, Martin Brundle. According to one BBC source, that has culminated in Legard being replaced for next season.'
A BBC spokesperson told the paper: "We're still looking at our line-up for next year's Formula One coverage."
