With the great Jake Humphrey leaving BBC Formula 1 coverage a great legendary name is required to replace him. This petition is to show BBC that there is support out there for Gareth Jones (@GarethJonesTV) to take over.
A legend to this generation from his children's TV past, he's a perfect choice.
His passion for F1 is shown in his excellent online F1 coverage at www.garethjones.tv. He's ready to go!
Watching Gareth talk about cars online reminds me that we need someone with that level of genuine enthusiasm leading the coverage. I have reached out to the production team to ensure they see the names on this list and understand why he is the right person for the job.

Seeing this level of enthusiasm for Gareth confirms what I have known for years because his deep knowledge of the sport is unparalleled. The energy behind this push continues to grow and it proves that people truly value his unique voice and passion.

YES! Used to love him on tv when I was a kid. He actually knows his stuff about racing and has the personality for it. Get him on air!

Gareth is the only choice for this. His podcast knowledge is way ahead of anyone else they are considering.

Totally agree. Sick of the corporate presenters who dont have a clue about the sport. Gareth is the real deal.
