Rick 5th January , I do get six HD channels and 4 SD channels and each race weekend is fully covered from P1 to post-race analysis, with qualifying and the race using no less than 6 channels at the same time, the regular FIA feed with Dutch commentary, 2 on-board channels, the live timing, a dedicated pit feed with stats and finally a secondary feed that differs all the time.
Sounds too good to be true? It is, because even though all of that is true, the quality sucks. Dutch presenters are horrible, they know nothing about F1 and even though they invite old F1 drivers from Robert Doornbos to Jan Lammers, they never ask in-depth questions. Before this, we had free-to-air BBC to watch Formula 1 as well.
Ah man, that was something! Anyway, there are also a lot of races, like the ones in your continent that are at inconvenient times dinner time or just afterwards for us Europeans but I just record them and watch them a couple of hours later. You could do the same for those early morning races from Europe. I do believe the British have the best quality coverage, but too bad everything is so strictly fenced.
We do have Sky Sports, but only for soccer, golf and such, no F1 whatsoever. Rick 6th January , Sky TV w. I just found out that by Dutch law, anyone who offers a TV package must include all Dutch and Flemish public broadcasters and also a selection of British and German ones which includes the BBC. Ron will get one before him! Phil-F 5th January , However I prefer the commentary team on C4 to be honest. There is not so much aimless waffle.
People always find something to complain about no matter how small the problem. Just Herbert that grates a bit too much, Hill has developed into an interesting pundit. Brundle is the master. I have grown to like Ted too. Damon is very good and his family are legend in F1. Martin is very good obviously, however he has been over egging his point at times in recent years, rather than being an interested observer.
Lewis is great! Crofty is pretty annoying, tries to makes things too sensationalised, like a talking tabloid. Sometimes commentators have to accept that at points during events it will be dull. Test Match Special presenters are experts at this!
Alan 4th June , Ben Edwards to me is always watching a different race to me as he seems hysterical on every movement of the cars. DaveF1 davef1 5th January , Though I watch Sky, I think some of their crew is pretty dire. Brundle seems to be the only impartial one and probably talks the most sense, his analysis is brilliant too. Ted is ok and Davidson is probably the only bearable pundit.
Hill and Herbert are terrible pundits, Hill always seems dull and uninterested and Herbert just comes across as a bit of a tryhard Eddie Jordan-esque goof. Kind of hoping they try and get Button. Clive Allen clive-allen 5th January , FR 5th January , Tristan 5th January , The longer FOM sit on their hands the more people will go looking for and learn of the high quality pirated streams which will just make it harder to capture the tech savvy audience when they do introduce their official stream.
Grand Prix Weekend. Red flag. Sorry Something's gone wrong. After spending much of the next three seasons as a test driver, he secured a full-time drive with Super Aguri in However, he failed to score any points and early in , the team pulled out of F1 due to financial difficulties. In she became a host of The F1 Show, a role she has held ever since. In , she co-hosted the Goodwood Festival of Speed alongside fellow motorsport broadcaster Steve Rider.
Rachel Brookes is a reporter for Sky Sports F1, conducting interviews with drivers and other key figures. Statistically one of the most successful F1 drivers ever, Hill won 22 grands prix and was a podium finisher 42 times over eight seasons, before calling it a day in Hill joined Sky Sports F1 in and has been a frequent presence in a punditry role ever since. Nico Rosberg won the F1 world championship after a fraught title battle with Lewis Hamilton.
He promptly retired from F1 a few days later, having accumulated 23 grand prix wins and 57 podiums in his time with Williams and Mercedes. Rosberg has pursued a number of endeavours since retiring from F1, including as an owner of an Extreme E team.
He first appeared on Sky Sports F1 as an analyst in , and has also worked for broadcasters in Germany and Italy in a similar role. Jenson Button was at the centre of a fairytale story in , when he became F1 world champion racing for Brawn GP; an outfit that was hastily formed at the beginning of the season when previous owner Honda announced its shock departure.
Like Rosberg, Button has developed a number of interests in life after F1, and he occasionally appears on Sky Sports F1. He made his debut for the broadcaster in F1 teams keen for testing increase for new cars in It has been a tricky past few races for Sergio Perez.
The Red Bull driver has mustered just 16 points since the British Grand Prix in July and the team's constructors' championship chances have taken a hit. Yet the Mexican remains optimistic that he has all the tools he needs to turn his performances around.
But he came into the weekend with a streak of recent crashes hanging over him. The technical directive issued by Formula 1 to reduce levels of automation in pitstops has given teams an unwelcome period of adjustment. Although safety was the primary goal, it has already had a significant impact on the title race and puts extra pressure on teams to deliver as the season reaches the business end.
Some 18 drivers have finished runner-up to Lewis Hamilton on his way to wins.
