I will have access to both and will watch the races I can on the BBC rather than Sky. I think the BBC have a decent line up for 2012 and can't see any reason not to watch them when they are covering a live race. Sky will be trying to give it the 'full Sky Sports treatment' but i'm not particularly bothered about the fancy screen borders and being reminded what else is on the F1 channel when I really want to see a proper build up programme to be honest. At the end of the day both channels will probably do a good job of delivering the sport to our screens, but the BBC will still be the mainstream F1 source for the UK and I'm pretty sure they'll give Sky a run for their money in terms of quality.
