It's pretty dire. As I don't have a Sky subscription I don't have much choice, if I want a race commentary.

I'm trying out F1TV. It's interesting. It isn't bad so far but it has lacked personality a bit.

Doomed to listen to Qualifying on Radio 5. I cannot believe the lack of grasp of the implications of an early red flag. I assumed Jack Nichols was some kid who has been used because he is cheap - turns out he is a grown up. Jeez. Now droning on about WD40 DURING QUALIFYING!!!!

Gonna give a shout out to Sky for getting Bernie Collins, the strategist most recently from Aston Martin.

Obviously not massively experienced on camera, but her comfort level clearly grew over the FPs and Qually. Very positive contributions, really added to the coverage so far...Looking forward to her input during the race.

Second that - great to have Bernie on the crew, brings a new dimension and will get better & better as she gets used to camera / commentary.

Plus another one here. I was very impressed with her matter of fact manner and ability to explain in a manner understandable to the great unwashed.

Usually I have the preamble stuff on in the background but when I saw her on I stopped to watch

Respect.

I don't have sky, think it expensive. But having watched the last two races on ch4, there transmission is getting more annoying. I watched last night's transmission, and about every 10 minutes of action, they went into a commercial break. These breaks seem to be getting longer, on average 6/7 minutes. It is ridiculous. 2 laps to go, then a break
I know they rely on these, but why so many?

Not sure, but I think they are only allowed to show a small period of actual racing, so they extend the programme with adverts.

Yeah but the breaks were positively oppressive in this show. I didn't count them, but there must have been what, 7 or 8?
