Where is Martin Brundle?

Recommended Posts

So we have David Croft! I'm glad with that. But why Anthony Davidson? He doesn't even commentate for the races...

I'd prefer to see Martin Brundle instead. However, if we can't have Brundle, having Paul Di Resta instead would be better than Davidson, as Paul has actually commentated a few races.

Anthony Davidson used to commentate the races with Crofty on BBC Radio 5 live. But I agree it would be cool to have Brundle in game too!

They have Anthony Davidson, as somehow in 2010 he became their chief car researcher, so I guess they owe it to him for making sure that all the cars look and handle as much like their real life counter parts as they can

yeah that's exactly right he helped CM develop the F1 games in the first place giving them insight into how the cars handle and how to best replicate that in a fun way in their game also helped test the game originally too way back in 2010. Also Crofty has worked on this game series since 2010 as well so it makes sense for CM to go with who they know. Because he was the press guy in the paddock who interviewed you in those earlier games

Yeah he likely would be and given CM have spent a lot to acquire the license to do these games they might not be able to afford him

I mean, no one is actually commentating on the race live. And Anthony Davidson is a regular part of Sky's trio of analysts along with Damon Hill and Johnny Herbert who do pre-post race analysis. Seeing as pre/post race analysis is all they provide in game, it makes sense that he is one of the voices. It actually makes more sense than Crofty being there :P Perhaps Ant and Brundle might be a more appropriate combo since Brundle commentates and does the analysis at times.

Bundle is quite stubborn from what I have heard. I've met him in real life and all he did was signed his autograph for me and then just completely blanked me like I wasn't there. Baring I was the only person there, I was quite offended and upset that she wouldn't even reply hi lol

Maybe you offended him by referring to him as " she" ... ?

On a serious note,  I can see Martin not wanting to be part of the game. I am quite happy it is Ant and Crofty (Davidson is much better than Di Resta).

Martin Bundle did his fair share of video game commentated from 1997 - 2006 with Murray walker 1997 to 2001 and James Allen 2002-2006
