F1 back with a bang!
Excellent race today, and well worth watching if you haven't seen it yet. Wheel to wheel stuff for the last 20 laps, and a brilliant scrap for the podium.

Agreed, one of the best for a long time. If Button hadn't of had the bad luck in the pits I feel he would have been on the back of Rosberg and he wouldn't have been able to look after his tyres! Did you see how Raikonen (sp) went backwards

Can't remember the last time I saw so many cars close up and fighting for a podium!
Watched it on BBC as well as opposed to Sky and have to say BBC are still the better of the two, DC and EJ are still my favourites.

But all 3 races this year have been fantastic.
As for David Croft alongside Martin Brundle, I like him. He used to do the commentry for radio 5 live as well as BBC TV for the practice sessions, so he has been around F1 for a long time and knows his stuff.
The Sky race coverage is actually ok, especially the different viewing cams, such as onboard (usually get to chose between 5 cars).
It is just the pre and post race coverage that lets it down. Far too many people involved that don't know what they are talking about.
Even Johny Herbert doesn't seem to know that DRS can only be used at one point per lap when less than a second behind the car in front, yet he said more than once that Rosbergs win was help by it.
And Jamz3k, what shows do you actually like? Because as a car fan, you don't seem to like most shows that involve them!

In that case I'd avoid next weeks race. Bahrain is traditionally quite boring. The only genuine entertainment is likely going to be from the crowd - expect track invasions and other shenannigans.

Ditto, it's a no brainer if both channels have it live, imho.

Yeah it's not been disappointing so far action in every race yesterday all for £30 that's value for money there.
Skoda should be joining soon later in the year too.

I watched it live on sky then was flicking through channels later on and came across BBC highlights - sorry absolute no contest - Sky coverage FAR superior than BBC! Sky getting better and better with every race aswell.
