Would you like to borrow my glasses?

Crofty was Freelance when working for USP/5Live. Not sure whether he'll remain freelance or whether he'll take on a Sky Contract.

If he is on a Sky Contract, it may have been a case of honouring previous agreements as they didn't interfere with the F1 stuff.

I certainly wouldn't. Leggard should be given a lifetime gagging order. I maybe being a bit optimistic but I can't help but think that Allen will have matured in the years since he was at ITV. He won't be unaware of the criticism that's been leveled at him and as long as he's curbed his more annoying habits, he'll be O.K, IMO.

As for Damon Hill, as long as Sky has forgotten about Nigel Mansell, I'm happy enough.

Sorry matt, I had to re-read that twice. (My initial scan came over as "Would you really want a legover with James Allen!"
Obviously, the answer to 'both' questions is a very definite NO!

Given Peugeot's withdrawl from the WEC and Le Mans, Ant Davidson could now be available for the whole season on SkySPortsF1.

In a M News piece this week he said he had learnt a lot since leaving ITV and also offered the view that the coverage then was Lewis overkill and he was more balanced in his approach nowadays.

Saw Sky advert today stating the the F1 channel will be included in HD subscription, so I don't think you need to be a Sky Sports subscriber to get it. Hope not anyway as we already pay for HD and don't fancy a sports sub as well!

This has been stated time and time again, if you have any HD subscription you get F1 free.

I do think James Allen has the potential for redemption whereas both Leggard and Karlton Kirby have been forever lost to madness.

Having sorted a HD Satellite...I am sorted for RTL & Sport1 for F1 coverage and enjoying so far... Dakar and WRC on Eurosport for free.... just for the £60 outlay for the kit and a free android phone app to align the dish to Astra 19.2 ...Eurosport have DTM too and Astra 19 have Dmax with Dmotor (Sabine Schmidt etc) plus even our Top Gear..... some channels have English subtitles too but being a German speaker ...I'm made up....

The last time I watched F1 on RTL they used to have those ten minutes adverts. Used to drive me up the wall.

Missed the news that Eurosport has bagged the DTM.
