One of his tyre predictions were wrong but the Bahrain one was correct?
I think he does a good job. Ted has the onscreen abilities, Gary has the engineering knowledge. As an engineer, I relate to him.
Sorry to say, I'd take the thoughts of a race winning car designer with years of experience over your opinion.
As I've said before, with presenting its more about personality than pure knowledge. I can't imagine Adrian Newey would make a good pit lane reporter, for example.
Ted is the single most important person that Sky managed to poach from the BBC.

I'm assuming you didn't pay for just F1 in the first place (had it already)?
If you did pay for it, bit of a waste of money was it?

no its worth every penny to see the races and quali live
the build up show is rubbish
the forum is rubbish
the weekly f1 program is rubbish
oh my days! he doesnt pay for it! burn him at the stake!
i use my parents account so acording to skeeter im stealing and should not be allowed an opinion
so do you watch the f1 show? the testing report was pants they didnt cover barely any of the information or developments at all.
BTW apparently RBR and renault will be protesting mercedes monkey seat and rear brake ducts because they are to inovative

I've got it on series link, yet I think I've only ever watched 2 episodes. Georgie just makes it tedious.
It should be a brilliant chance to wrap up the Friday action on track and give a great preview to the race, but it just doesn't deliver, and the ones that are on when it isn't a race weekend are just terrible.
But I've stopped watching most of the build up and after race shows too (for a few years, so BBC too). I get my F1 news from elsewhere (the internet) meaning anything they tell you is usually 'old' already.
Based on that I've noticed very little difference between the BBC coverage and the Sky coverage for me (except it being in shiny shiny HD), as the bits they are doing differently I don't watch.

I don't make a point to watch it but they've had a few interesting bits. Martin Brundles Le Mans video diary could be a very interesting watch.

Johnny Herbert will be a pundit for Sky for at least the next five races.
The coverage whilst being very interesting is also very critical, hopefully Herbert will be able to bring some of the banter that the BBC lads get.

Brundle seems to get along with Herbert a lot better than he does Hill. I think Hill is a bit too straight laced. The ice cream shenanegans Lazenby, Brundle, Herbert and Whitmarsh had in Malaysia was very funny.

Yeah, he's more a motorsport statesman than pundit.
He'd make a good FIA president in a few years. Can't do much worse than John Toad.

100% agree with that.
