And it's Blandell in that car for the whole year.

And maybe, OK, the 95 McLaren was awful as well.

But a year of continuity with McLaren and the Mercedes engine that blew up less than the Peugeot might have been quite a decent year.

a decent 95 for brundle they're getting close to hacking in the commentary point is is really important i think i'd probably put him in this list on that alone i can remember so clearly in 95 when he was sharing the leisure drive with the guru suzuki he went and co-commentated as a third commentator i think not a second one alongside murray walker and jonathan palmer on the bbc for some races he didn't do i remember thinking that he was hilarious and so insightful and

And so when he got the ITV gig for 97, I was really excited about that.

Now, my memory of his 97 commentary, I felt at the time like there were a few too many occasions where he wanted to be back in the car a little bit too much.

I think Giancarlo Fisichella got quite a rough ride from him at times, having taken his Jordan seat.

A little bit unforgiving at times.

But also the type of insight he was bringing, how willing he was to take the piss a little bit.

And then the gridwalks, which he effectively pioneered.

Not every race to start with.

Was his first one or did he do Silverstone?

you probably don't realize how good martin brundle was as a commentator and pundit because i think a lot of people are as good as he is now and there's not many times i listen to a commentary and go wow that was super insightful or funny martin in the state in the way i was you know 29 years ago but he really raised the game for what a driver pundit should be doing so yeah absolute definite pick on and off track

He didn't necessarily want him there in the first place, particularly.

I discounted him because I think he was too good in a way.

But your argument hasn't persuaded me he wasn't as good as I thought.

It's more that actually he is in so many stories.

He is quintessential.

He doesn't encapsulate the era.

I get that.
