I liked it but for 3 things.

I miss David Coulthard in the box along side Martin.
Defiantly prefer Jake over this other guy.
And lastly Anthony Davidson is wasted in the studio standing along side that funny odd looking woman.


Oh and miss EJ ......



How was it for you ?

tony de wonderful

No, don't have Sky.

Now I saw the result after turning on the news.

**** Sky and **** F1.

Overall I found it stunning, I do like Coulthard but dont miss Eddie Jordan one bit.
Quality and content along with the walk about after the race is fabulous. Then to top it all off we have both GP2 races at the next round.
Not sure about the bird with the big **** in the studio though. Agree Nathony Davidson is wasted.

RA Dunk

EJ is probably the biggest thing I miss TBH, I loved the ballsyness of some of the questions he would ask, I doubt any of the current people would have ***** big enough to come out with some of the things he did, I also miss his little disagreements he had with DC too, they were a great partnership.

Get them both across to Sky and the package is complete!

ohh and I also miss his dress style, if theres ever a man made me feel good about the clothes I wear it was EJ!

Brun

Agree with ^^^^^^^^^
Most important for me is Martin and Ted though. Nat is ok but prefer that bird who works for the Beeb

RA Dunk

Lee Mckenzie?

Absolutely agree, watched this sport avidly since the mid 80's and cant help feeling let down by the Beeb....Yes i have sky but its a matter of timing regarding my HD access...cant believe that the BBC or infact normal Tv in general have shafted its loyal audience by not showing the first race live.....

Not in the least bit interested anymore, whats his face Bernie can shove it

tony de wonderful

I remember Bernie saying in an interview last year the F1 would never go from free to view telle.

Why do F1 fans think they have a right to have it FTA when Football,Rugby and Cricket fan's have to pay.

Sky is scat shat sh[te

I miss Martin on the beeb as the guy that replaced him commentating for the beeb beside coultard sounded like he had a creampie in his pants before the first corner after the lights went out

I think they have wreaked a good coverage & split up the team!

IWatkins

I thought the sky coverage was very good.

Nice Sky Sports app on iPad to, for driver tracker etc.

The only thing i don't like about the BBC coverage is the new Irish guy.

stormyuklondon1

absolutely, the sound from the beeb has always been my bugbear with their coverage.
over all much better from sky,I definately won't be going back to the bbc to watch.

ScoobyJawa

sound and picture were grand! good race for a change too

Leslie

I was impressed by the Sky coverage. The picture quality and sound is very good. They dont miss a trick with the general coverage and Damon Hill and Martin Brundle are good together.

The coverage is enormous compared with the BBC broadcasts and they are sensible with the advertisments.

Good to see all the practises as well as the racing too.

Great coverage

Just watched it on the been, was fine but miss MB. Wouldn't pay Sky to have a **** let alone watch TV.

EddScott

To be honest I didn't bother with the build up and just watched the race. Quite happy with that. Already got Sky HD so didn't really cost me any more than last year.

Not that fussed on the build up stuff.

SkullFudge

I've always been a BBC fan, but I have Sky Sports HD so I watched it on that.
All I can say is the coverage was awesome and dare I say much better than the beeb.

The dedicated F1 channel that is showing

P1
P2
P3

Q1
Q2
Q3 and the race all live and covering all 20 races.


Awesome !

ScoobyWon't

I didn't think the Sky coverage was any better than the BBC's. At least the BBC coverage doesn't need to buffer.

Driver tracker etc isn't New. BBC had that, other commentary and other cameras on red button last year.

stilover

Watched the BBC highlight programme. And thought the coverage of the race itself wasn't too bad. Seemed to cut very little.

ilogikal1

That (even though it didn't actually cost me any more). Especially in 5.1

hodgy0_2

does the sky coverage have adverts interupting the race?

Brun

No

chrisowe

Agree the picture and sound on Sky seems to be much better than the beeb. Not cost me any more than last year either, but gained a lot more coverage with a dedicated channel.

hodgy0_2

wow, thats cool

I gave up on F1 ten or so years ago when BBC lost it for the first time

half the fun was sitting down and knowing you would see it uninterupted, all 2 or so hours of it (bit like test cricket)

once it came with adverts, totally lost interest and never regained it

but at least sky have seen sense

tony de wonderful

Hmm maybe you were watching the old BBC coverage on a cathode ray tube TV and through Ozzy Ozbourne colored glasses, but I don't remember the picture being anything but good on HD, and they had that skycam thing which wizzed around the track from above.

this post makes no sense at all -- plus ça change
