F1 presenting dream team?

I think he's great. I think his knowledge is being kept up to date (he has been out in the 2010 Ferrari, which means he has driven a more recent F1 car than DC!). His grid walks are great as he has far more access through sheer bloody mindedness than anyone else. And Sky have F1 rights untill 2017 at least (I can't see them dropping it then either), so he has another 5 years minimum.

That's not assured at all. Just look at how quickly the terms of BBC's contract got ripped up and replaced just 3 years in.

If the great Sky gamble doesn't pay off for Bernie then that too can be ripped up and replaced just as quickly...

This. I don't even bother watching the build up to races anymore. In fact, I don't even know the name of the Sky anchor.

Grid walk.. Race.. Talking points and then off.

With the BBC I found myself watching the build up because it didnt take itself too serious and there was the occasionally interesting piece about different car systems etc.

I'd take Anthony Davidson over Lee Mackenzie if I had to replace someone.
 
I'm liking Gary Anderson's input this year. Makes a pleasant change to have someone involved who actually knows what's going on.

EJ contributes nothing other than trying being controversial for the sake of it.

Would go with that, probably the best its been in recent years. I would make a couple of additions; Gary Anderson, I like his technical input and Natalie Pinkham, she's nice to look at. :)

Otherwise I would have to go back to Murray's days.

I agree. He brings F1 to the non clued up watcher and he does involve you a lot more.

I agree with the comments about Martin B being a bit up himself. The pit walks weren't amazing. I think DC is excellent and same with JH.
 
Still loving the BBC coverage this year.
