I miss formula 1 on the BBC already!!

[Deleted member 22389]

For a second there I was about to turn on BBC 1 to watch the formula 1 build up. The BBC 1 coverage used to be really good as well.

Annoyed as I hoping the BBC would have got United States Grand Prix and also the Italian Grand Prix.

This is what the BBC is showing live. Enjoy it before the whole lot ends up going to SKY.

Its just not going to be the same watching the replay at 2:00pm.

I noticed that TF1 in France and Rai Uno in Italy have managed to keep Formula 1 on their main channels.

Have to say, I think sky's coverage this morning has been excellent.

Not quite as good as bbc, but mighty fine nonetheless

 

[MORTY]

Didn't watch the build up. But its all about Martin Brundle and Ted Kravitz.

To the OP. Why get up at 5am if you can't watch the GP on Sky?!

 

[throbinson]

Skys coverage is very good

 

[mreprice]

Skys coverage is very good

But Martin and Ted are better

 

[Noldi]

Don't miss Eddie Jordan though. I'm enjoying SKY coverage for sure but its only first race lets see how we feel after a few races.

But Martin and Ted are better

Martin and Ted are with sky

 

[Cappers]

Well at least itv have not got it!

Little difference really, but totally agree could be a lot worse if ITV got it. Crucial overtaking manoeuvre, time for a break.
Good to see Martin Brundle still doing his grid walk. One of the highlights!
MB is v good IMHO

 

[Evil Edna]

At lest the beeb have still got the moto gp (for now)

 

[JetsetJimbo]

It's on terrestrial telly here in the Czech Republic, so I can stick it on and stream Radio 5 Live's coverage (I presume they're still covering it? I didn't actually catch last night's race because of the time difference, but that's what I'm intending to do for the rest of the F1 season so I hope they are!)

 

[Art Vs Science]

David Croft is the best commentator since Murray Walker retired. Hugely impressed this morning with him and Brundle. He has pretty much everything walker had apart from the comedy and experience

 

[Wally Gould]

Sky presentation very good, Croft and Brundle make a great pair. Was it me or did I miss the actual crossing of the finish line by Button?

 

[upthealbion1970]

Thought the commentator was poor on sky, far too many basic mistakes getting the drivers wrong for me, and the tone of his voice is irritating too. Not impressed so far.

 

[WhingForPresident]

At least as good as BBC but with Georgie Thompson showing up every now and again I'm sure they will iron out the kinks as the weeks go by.
I'm very happy with it so far to say the least. Very extensive coverage as well.

 

[Westdene Wonder]

My radio woke me up at 7am, with what Formula 1,!!!!!!!
If they feel there is any demand for Formula 1 on radio then they should create a special channel for it, as Sky has done on TV.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Watched it live this morning on Sky in between little bouts of sleep but saw the most important bits, start and finish and thought it was ok ... helps to have Martin Brundle there though.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Picture quality wise , Sky wins hands down. The Dolby Digital audio is a bonus too.

Do they have the watch paint dry tournaments too?
