So what exactly would you like to see?

The Test days are restricted and not televised by the FIA, so there is nothing that could be commisioned around that.

THe Cost of Sky hiring out a full OB for a F1 circuit for testing would be massively expensive so again can't commision around that.

Driver features away from the track? Do we really want another round of ITV's Beverly Turner makes lunch with Massa

Brundle can really only do the chance of a lifetime drive once, so no point sending him back to Maranello.

...
If the channel hadn't been so restrictive in it's name, and Sky consistently put other motorsport on it, then yes there would be the chance of other programming.

Perhaps what is missing is a focus on one or two drivers in GP2 or GP3 with weekly or post race (latter in the week) show featuring how they got on, their challenges etc over the course of the season.
