Why I'm leaving one of the greatest jobs in broadcasting
It feels strange to be writing my final blog as the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú's F1 presenter, just over four years after I sat down in a nondescript office in Television Centre and was offered a job that would change my life.
However, this blog also feels like the perfect place to say farewell as it's here, and via my Twitter account, that I would hope we've taken you at home closer to the sport than ever before.
I also credit this blog with helping to change the perception of me when I first got the job. I've told the story many times of how my wife Harriet rang me in floods of tears shortly after it was announced I was taking on the F1 presenting gig.
She'd read on the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú website about 12 trillion messages saying I'd be rubbish. Some of them under the headline: 'Sack Jake Humphrey Now'. This was a full four months before I hosted my first show!
Welcome to my blog where I will be sharing all the insider news, uploading videos and photos throughout the 2012 F1 season. I've spent the past 10 years at the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú working for Children's Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú, hosting Olympic games, World Cups and Sports Personality of the Year. Have a read and please feel free to share your thoughts.
