I have had Sky Sports for years for other things but my heart still sinks when a Live on Sky only race comes along as it seems so second rate after the BBC presentation. Really enjoyed the race today, great race but I just know it would have been less enjoyable if I had watched it on Sky.

To be fair to Sky, I think that they did a reasonable job today. Johnny Herbert is always good to listen to, and 'Crofty' with Brundle seems to be gelling quite well.

I thought sky did a good job today, but then I think Simon does a good job so am unhinged. I didn't watch it, but I am sure beeb did a good job too.

But, the BBC have DC and his recurring catchphrase:
"well, when it rains it pours" |

I'm not gonna hold that against DC, I too think it is a good team. DC for me is becoming an excellent pundit and broadcaster.

Well there's been a surge of 'crucially's from DC and the Edwards growl was in evidence but you know what - as they are knowledgeable broadcasters with a good chemistry, these little quirks are all part of their charm.

Quirks only become annoyances when they are on a channel you don't like

My only annoyance is the loss of every race live. Bring that back to the Beeb and I don't think we'd even be having this conversation. I wouldn't mind if Bernie gave both channels full exclusive coverage, it certainly wouldn't harm the sport and would satisfy his claim it brings the sport to more fans.

Words of wisdom.
You should have said so before.

Well now you know, you just had to ask
![]() I'm sure even if both channels had the coverage we'd still have a minority watching on Sky, no doubt. But we wouldn't be discussing the coverage I don't believe. We wouldn't need to. That was my point. I think it will happen one day. I see more chance of it doing that and satisfying the need for it to cover satelite than completely disappearing off free to air British TV. |

I watched Sky as normal, but watched the Maldonado - Hamilton incident on the BBC website. Ben Edwards goes absolutely crazy, practically James Allen on Jenson Button winning his first race crazy. I don't understand how the fans love it when Ben screams like a loon because its shows his passion, yet James got roundly criticised when he did it.
I must say, eight races in and Crofty hasn't annoyed me as much as I was expecting. And he does work very well with Brundle. |

Did Ben shout "get in there"?

As for Sky, I do prefer the easy going BBC approach, true and I do think the Sky package is wildly over-valued but I've defended the Sky broadcasting team itself time to time from the haterz. ![]() |
