Some new information regarding F1 on sky next year.
Simon Lazenby who always presents Rugby on Sky , was not presenting this weekend, despite being a huge weekend of live Rugby on Sky..instead he is in Adu Dhabi. So earlier reports of him being the main presenter of the coverage next year look true. Also Gerogie Thompson has been seen in Adu Dhabi with other members of Sky's Production team.
As for the commentating team, David Croft looks very likely to be the main commenter , with Brundle stepping down as main lead , to once again being number 2.
Also, this is coming from a poster over on the British Speedway Forum, who works inside Sky and so far has been spot on with information.
He says, due to a lot of events on Sky Sports next year and with them covering all practice sessions, qualifying and the race itself, there would be a good chance on a number of weeks, F1 could over run , causing problems with over events showing live.
So what Sky are currently discussing is weather to setup a new channel called Sky Motors, which at first would be free..but of course, you guessed yet, would then cost around £10 a month. This where it get's even better. It would be completely separate from Sky Sports, so if you have Sky and already have Sky Sports, you would still pay for that and have to fork out extra to watch F1 on Sky.
He does state though, this is at a early stage and may or may not happen.
This though sums up everything I hate about Sky. Money money money. If this does happen, it will kill F1 in this country IMO.
