Marc Gene signs with Spanish F1 broadcaster

Ferrari test driver Marc Gene has signed to commentate for Spanish television in 2010.

With Pedro de la Rosa returning to the grid with Sauber this year, La Sexta has replaced the Spaniard with his 35-year-old countryman Gene.

The EFE news agency said Gene, who until 2004 contested 36 grands prix with Minardi and latterly as Williams reserve, will be working as an expert pundit with the broadcaster at all 19 grands prix this season.
