Sky coverage so far is not to great.

Had about 5 minutes of talking, the rest has been adverts, promos and now for the 2nd time in 25 minutes a advert on how we can all watch F1 on sky.

In case you weren't already watching F1 on the the Sky F1 channel. Fin idiots. No one likes sky  :sad: Well, the people who don't have it anyway :cry:

I'm pretty upset with coverage so far. Adverts every 10 minutes and the main presenter keeps saying "erm" and calling the drivers the riders.

just read that all races can be watched on bbc anyway... and probably will be shown at a much more (uk) convenient time anyway. Now I just have to figure out a way to avoid sky sports news  :undecided:

The first hour or so off practice was awful.

They kept cutting away from the world feed, to show their own promos telling us who's who's in a certain team. They also cut away too, to show them interviewing people, once again, cutting away from the world feed, which was showing driving.

Then while during their first ad break, we missed a HRT car failure and the first team radio of the day.

Also find it annoying that they seem to show the advert for Sky Sports F1 HD during the adverts..which is pretty god damn pointless , as people already have the bloody channel anyway, so why advertise it on the channel?!
