Do we not like the sky team guys? I personally love their coverage only person id have to change would be Herbert I wouldn't mind seen his smiley face punched even a little to see if he would actually change his expression.

Herbert is an absolute gentleman. David Croft sorry 'crofty' is irritating.

I much prefer the BBC coverage myself. Even there highlights today was done much better than Skys live covarage. I did not really care for the intro Martin Brundle done on Sky it just turned me off. I am a fan not a driver. The BBC had less time and they still came up with a better intro to the season. The other thing is on Sky they never say now over to Simon or over to Martin they just cut over to them and the way they show the car replays on there screen is annoying too.They do on the BBC. I enjoyed the BBCs replay of the Qualifying today much more than Skys live coverage it was just much better. I don,t want to see the screen its shown on as well as Simon or crofty or whoever it is showing it I just want to see what is on the screen. The BBC can do it right when they show replays so why can,t Sky.
Can,t wait to see the race tomorrow should be good. Think Lewis will get first Nico second and then either Massa or Vettel in third. Kimi might get third or fourth.

I suppose its each to there own I like the sky coverage I do like Eddie Jordan on bbc I think the last year they had exclusive rights too it was good fun between Jake and David and Eddie mostly taking the mick outa eddie but I haven't watched it on bbc since sky got the rights to it. I like ted he does a good job too,

only watched 3 sessions now with sky commentary but already infuriating that they all pronounce Vettel with a F

Sky's coverage would be much better without Croft and Herbert. Croft continually makes mistakes, doesn't spot a lot of relevant action and that #askCrofty segment is awful. I don't find Herbert to be likable at all. He never really seems to offer any insight like Brundle does, and generally comes across as a clown.

Brundle, Ted and Natalie are excellent in their roles. I respect anything that Damon Hill has to say as he was one of my favourite drivers when I started watching F1 and Simon Lazenby does a decent job of holding the show together.

Going back a few years though, Jake, Martin Brundle, DC, Eddie Jordan & Ted worked so well together. It's a shame that team broke up.
