Going to be a long two weeks to wait until the next race.

Glad to have the European races now though. Could see some big upgrades for the coming races.

Anyone here going to any Grand Prix's this summer?

At my parents house this weekend...They have sky, I am watching the F1 show at currently and am struggling to give this plonker Anthony Davidson any credit. Himself and Teddy K are talking about their 'top3' over takes of the season. He sounds like he stumbling through his speech and is really trying hard to pretend to know what he is talking about. I know he probably does know what he is talking about but the way he comes across is quite poor IMO.

He annoys me, and so does everyone at Sky apart from Brundle and Kravitz. Much rather watch BBC with DC, EJ and Jake.

I think Sky will get better, they are only a few races in to their coverage, but they so need to change stuff to get it right.

Few things I would change ;

Get rid of that blonde girl, yes she looks nice, but she knows f**k all about F1 and adds nothing at all to the show

Same for the Skypad during the live coverage, poor Ant , who does know a hell of a lot about F1 is always stuck up there with nodding dog girl

Damon Hill, love him, great racer and did a lot of work to get Silverstone where it is now, but my god, he makes for dull TV
BBC have Jake, EJ and DC, 3 great personalities who I enjoy watching, Sky for their main team, have Hill, Brundle and that boring wooden guy, this needs to change
.
Lastly, every single time I have watched the post race live coverage on Sky, they always rush off at the end...why...they are on a channel that is for F1 only, should never have to rush off air..to show what..another repeat? Makes no sense.

So for me, just little things need changing and it would make it much better imo
