A brand new look? … meaning we don’t have any regular sports presenters anymore.

Rushton, MacKinnon, Quartermain, etc.?

Now he’s a good get! I assume 4 isn’t doing much for this race.

Another good one as well.

Odd choice, but who knows? Brad Hodge is on 7’s motorsport coverage.

And Adam Gilchrist was previously on 10’s F1 coverage

Its a reference to the new look of the cars as well as the changes to the track

Mark, Scott, Natalie and Tom Clarkson are all returning. Tara naturally replaces Roz Kelly and Archie replaces Kate Peck as one of the roving reporters. Not a bad line up for 10’s last effort.

It might not be - wouldn’t be surprised if Foxtel just simply continues to sub-licence the Australian GP rights to 10 (assuming they still want to broadcast it) in order to satisfy the anti-siphoning rules.

Yeah I’d say it would depend on whether Fox ask a crazy amount and do the now traditional song-and-dance and then put the race on Kayo Freebies a few weeks out after doing a hit-job in the papers so they can suck themselves off by ‘saving Australian (enter sport here) viewers’.

Motor racing legend Alan Jones will also return to 10’s coverage for this weekend’s GP.

According to today’s Herald Sun, Tara Rushton is the last person to be appointed ambassador for the event, joining Winter Olympics gold medallist Jakara Anthony, Kris Smith, former AFL premiership player Josh Gibson and pastry chef (and former aerodynamic engineer for the Williams F1 Team) Kate Reid.

For a moment I thought it was Parrot/Gloria until I remembered that this is the other Alan Jones from racing :sweat_smile:

as an F1 fan… i’ll take gloria. I can’t stand AJ. I’ll be watching on foxtel anyway

10 would have James Allen alongside Tom Clarkson, both men would be front and center on 10’s F1 coverage. Expert opinion and correspondent for each Grand Prix.

I assume Niav Owens will be hosting 10’s football coverage for Matildas and A-League.

It looks like 10 have Richard Craill commentating Formula 1 sessions for the network alongside Tom Clarkson and Aussie Grit.

A pity 10 missed out on F1 rights to Foxtel. 10 would be a good fit for the rights with selected races on 10/10 Bold and all races on Paramount+

hopefully 10 can continue airing the Australian Grand Prix after this year.

Problem is whether pubs and clubs will pay even more money to carry Paramount+. We see what has been happening with this season of A-League.

For F1 I’d say they’d work something out.

I can see Seven picking it up due to Supercar commitments.
