They say that SSN will have a "presence" at the tests. Not sure what that means...I guess it is good that they will be at car launches, but is there really an interest for the tests being covered? Martin Brundle talked about Sky F1 being for the "dedicated fan" but the dedicated fan knows that testing times are completely meaningless. As shown by last year when Ferrari on paper looked a good bet for the title.

I won't be watching any of it, but I'm intrigued to know what they will talk about for 6 days around each Grand Prix.

Finally...I doubt Sky would ever release the figures but I wonder if there will be any noticeable increase in Sky Sports subscriptions as a result of the F1 deal.
