Formula 1 Drivers We’d Like to See in the Broadcast Booth When They Retire

This Formula One offseason has been relatively drama-free, at least on the sporting side. Most teams had already announced their 2016 driver lineups before the end of the 2015 season, with few changes.

In the F1 broadcasting world, though, things have been more tumultuous. First, the BBC announced it wanted out of its broadcast deal early, and then Channel 4 stepped into the breach, taking over the final three years of the BBC's contract.

The deal with Channel 4 was a surprise. The general expectation, as outlined by The F1 Broadcasting Blog, was that ITV would take over for the BBC, reprising the role it previously held from 1997 to 2008.

Less of a surprise was the announcement that David Coulthard would continue in his role as analyst on the presenting team. That is a good move for viewers, who benefit from the Scot's extensive experience, his sense of humour and his ability to explain complex concepts in an accessible manner. Coulthard has the contacts that come with a 15-year F1 career, but he is not so much of an insider that he is afraid to speak his mind.

The Coulthard announcement got us thinking: Which of the current crop of drivers would we like to see in the broadcast booth when their careers are over?
