David Coulthard: ´óÏó´«Ã½ F1 TV pundit

In terms of points scored (535), David Coulthard is the most successful British Formula One driver of all time. With 15 seasons in Formula 1 he has amassed 13 Grands Prix wins, 12 pole positions and 62 podium finishes, his last, a third place, coming at the 2008 Canadian GP.

Over the 15 years that he was competing in motorsport's premier event, "DC" cemented his place among the most highly regarded drivers in Formula 1 history.

His 246 race starts, make him the fourth most experienced racer of all time, with his points haul bettered only by Schumacher, Prost, Senna and Alonso. His 13 wins put David 18th in the all-time winners list.

David has won the "classic" Grands Prix in Monaco, Britain, Belgium and Italy, but he singles out his French GP victory in 2000 as his most satisfying, as it was a really hard-fought win from third on the grid.

In the final years of his F1 driving career, words such as "veteran" and "elder statesman" were often words used to describe David. However, if you had listened to the air turn blue on the car-to-pit radio or watched the mechanics run for cover as he came back to the pits when things didn't go to plan, it was clear that he was determined to compete right up to his final race.

The 2008 season was David's fourth with Red Bull Racing, having been there since the team's maiden season in 2005. His time at Red Bull Racing followed two years at Williams and nine years of service with McLaren.

All David's F1 wins came in cars designed by Adrian Newey and the Scotsman was delighted when, in 2007, he once again had the chance to drive a Newey-penned car after Adrian joined the team in the previous year.

DC announced his retirement from Formula 1 in July 2008, just prior to the British GP. He does however, still work with Red Bull Racing as a consultant. Despite his retirement, his desire to be the best burns brightly. At the 2008 Race of Champions Coulthard took on the top names in motorsport to make the final, before being pipped to the title by Sebastian Loeb.

Eddie Jordan: ´óÏó´«Ã½ F1 TV pundit

Eddie Jordan, born in Dublin in 1948, is a former racing driver, team owner and entrepreneur known for his irrepressible optimism and energetic joie de vivre. A host of drivers owe their breaks to Eddie as a champion of young talent. Drivers who have won Grands Prix who have driven for Eddie include Hill, Mansell, Schumacher (Michael), and Senna, also becoming world champions, and Alesi, Barichello, Boutsen, Fisichella, Frentzen, Herbert, Irvine, Moreno, Schumacher (Ralf), Trulli and Watson.

Eddie's unlikely introduction to motor racing came about when in 1970 as a bank clerk he moved to Jersey because of a Dublin bank strike, and there he experienced kart racing. Eddie returned to Dublin hooked, embarking on a driving career which saw him win karting and Formula Ford races.

However winning the Formula Atlantic Championship sealed his long-term contract as a driver with Marlboro which paved the way for races in Formula 3, Formula 2 and testing a McLaren F1 car (in 1979). Separately he drove in the World Sports Car Championship with Porsche and the Pink Floyd BMW car at Le Mans.

Having suffered a number of major accidents Eddie retired from racing to set up his team in 1980 and began his now famous habit of finding young drivers and giving them a chance at success.

Having given Senna his first ever Formula 3 drive in 1982 (which was later repeated with Damon Hill in 1985 – both to becoming world champions), he signed Martin Brundle to lead the team for the British Championship in 1983 in which they finished second. The team went on to be champions with Johnny Herbert in 1987. Jordan then moved up to Formula 3000 for the years 1988/89/90 winning races with Donnelly, Herbert, Irvine and taking the championship in the 1989 season with Jean Alesi.

Inspired by the success of his junior drivers, Eddie established Jordan Grand Prix in 1990 and entered F1. Throughout the Nineties Jordan was the only team to really break the monopoly on F1 success held by Ferrari, Williams and McLaren. Rubens Barrichello secured the team's first pole position and podium in 1994. Jordan landed a major sponsorship deal with Benson & Hedges in 1996 and this helped to attract ex-World Champion Damon Hill to the team.

At the 1998 Belgian Grand Prix, Damon Hill's and Ralf Schumacher's finish in first and second place made history, as Jordan Grand Prix became the first team in the sport to win its maiden F1 race with a 1-2. In 1999 Heinz-Harald Frentzen won the French and Italian GPs for Jordan and finished third in the World Championship. The team also won the Brazilian Grand Prix in 2003 with Giancarlo Fisichella and also remains one of only five current teams to have won multiple Grands Prix in the past 25 years.

Eddie sold Jordan Grand Prix in January 2005. Since then he has developed a portfolio of business interests and formed a rock band which has successfully recorded a number of songs and takes its name, The Robbers, from a remark Bernie Ecclestone once made about Eddie.

In recent years EJ has also had more time to nurture projects with his favourite charities: CLIC Sargent and Amber, as well getting involved with the Special Olympics.

He made his TV-presenting debut with Channel 5's Bad Boy Racers, a series which followed a group of young car crime offenders through a rehabilitation programme. He holds honorary doctorates from the University of Ulster and Dublin's Institute of Technology. These were recently added to in France by being made an honorary Musketeer, in recognition of winning races in Nogaro, Pau, Le Mans and the prestigious French Grand Prix.

He was also a recent speaker at the prestigious Oxford Union and has recently taken up a post with the ´óÏó´«Ã½ with its coverage of Formula 1. He and his wife Marie have been married for 30 years and have four children. Eddie's interests outside motorsport include football, horse-racing, golf and, in particular, music: he is the drummer in the rock and roll band, The Robbers.

Martin Brundle: ´óÏó´«Ã½ F1 TV commentator

Martin Brundle started his racing career in 1971 at the tender age of 12, driving a self-built Ford Anglia grass track car near his West Norfolk home. Pole position for his first circuit race at Oulton Park in 1977 in his Toyota Celica was followed by many races learning the circuits of Great Britain, through to 1978.

After several years racing at tracks up and down the UK, Martin's first major racing opportunity came in 1979, when he raced in Formula Ford 2000.

Martin partnered the great Sir Stirling Moss in the BP/Audi team in 1981 and the following year raced in Formula 3, with five pole positions and two victories earning him the prestigious Grovewood Award as the most promising Commonwealth driver. The following season, Brundle signed for Eddie Jordan's fledgling team to take on the legendary Ayrton Senna in Formula 3. The championship went right to the wire with Senna finally pipping him to the title in the final laps of the final race. Both were immediately elevated to Formula 1.

Martin spent the next three seasons with the Tyrrell team, collecting a second at Detroit in 1984. However, a broken ankle and feet sustained during a high-speed crash was a serious setback.

In 1988 Martin left Formula One for Jaguar in the American IMSA Series and the World Sportscar Championships. Starting in January with a win in the famous Daytona 24 hours, the World Championship was his by October in Fuji, Japan.

Two seasons with the Brabham Grand Prix team in 1989 and 1991 was divided by a further season with Jaguar, the highlight of which was winning the Le Mans 24 hours in 1990. Martin also made history by finishing first and second in the same race at Monza in 1991, driving both of the stunning Jaguar XJR 14s during the race.

1992 saw Martin's most successful Formula 1 season alongside Michael Schumacher in the Benetton Ford team, scoring points in 11 of the final 12 races, including five podiums and finishing sixth in the World Championship.

Early 1994 saw Brundle claim the Number 8 McLaren seat vacated by Senna. Second and third in Monaco and Australia respectively were the highlights and despite some reliability problems with the car he finished seventh in the World Championship. The following season he returned to Ligier before joining the Jordan Peugeot team in 1996. After a spectacular crash in Melbourne the season progressively improved with very competitive top six finishes in five Grands Prix.

In 1997 Martin retired from Formula 1 to move alongside the legendary Murray Walker for ITV's F1 television production in the UK.

Le Mans assaults in 1998 and 1999 for Toyota led to a record 3min 29 sec pole position and an early lead in the race. However, technical problems sidelined the car on both occasions. In 2001 Martin led the Bentley team back to Le Mans after 71 years; leading the early stages of the race until mechanical problems retired the car.

For the 1998, 1999, 2005 and 2006 seasons Martin won four highly coveted Royal Television Society Awards for his widely regarded commentary on Formula 1, and was on stage at the 2008 BAFTAs with his co-presenters receiving the award for Best Sports Programme. His technical insight features from the wheel of an F1 car have also won further major awards.

Murray Walker: ´óÏó´«Ã½ F1 online contributor

Murray Walker is known throughout the world for his unique and extremely popular commentary style. Murray's fever pitch "Go, Go, Go!" delivery made every race seem exciting and his over-enthusiastic phraseology kept radio listeners and television viewers on the edges of their seats for decades until his retirement in 2001.

The young Murray followed in the wheeltracks of his famous father Graham, who was a pre-war motor cycle racing champion and the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s much-loved radio commentator on the Sport from 1935 to 1962. Having first got involved in motorsport as a hobby, Murray eventually chose to move into a career in commentating, initially on motor cycle racing with his father, before progressing into car racing.

As the popularity of Formula 1 grew, so did Murray's. His passion for the sport and rapport with his fellow commentators drew thousands of fans to motor racing.

Murray's knowledge of the sport is apparent through his work. His emotion at seeing good friend Damon Hill win the World Championship in 1996 brought a joyous tear to the eyes of the viewing public as Murray commented, "I've got to stop now – I've got a lump in my throat."
