It was announced today that Anthony will join BBC Radio 5 live’s Formula One commentary team for the 2009 season.  The 5 live commentary team is led by David Croft alongside Anthony and pit lane reporter Holly Samos.  The season opens with the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne on Sunday 29th March.

Anthony said:

“Over the last few years as a Formula One driver I’ve enjoyed being a guest commentator with Radio 5 live, and I’m looking forward to joining the team for the full season this year as a regular in the commentary box.  Commentating gives me the chance to explain what it feels like to drive an F1 car to the limit, and to share the inside view on all of the demands that a driver faces over the weekend.”

BBC Radio 5 live and BBC Radio 5 live sports extra will have full live coverage of race day as well as the practice sessions and qualifying rounds throughout the 2009 Formula One season. Full details of the 5 live’s Formula One programmes will be announced shortly.

BBC Radio 5 live’s Formula One coverage is produced by USP Content, and you can listen to 5 live and 5 live sports extra via DAB radio, Digital TV, Freeview, cable or satellite and online at bbc.co.uk/5live.
