Who will Skys F1 commentators be (and the Beebs)?

That would be my guess at least.

There won't be any "reduced BBC schedule" - they still have to have commentators at every race. And with the highlights running at 75 minutes, that's far too much for one person.

I don't see any other obvious candidate for the Sky positions unless they want to poach Croft.

And apparently they do.
