*** The SKY F1 2012 Coverage Thread ***

[Shimmy]

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.

He's not French though

 

[GravyMonster]

True, but neither was Max. He was more German.

Sky F1 are broadcasting the Drivers Press Conference Live at 2pm today, just a heads up

 

[GravyMonster]

Sweet. Saves me having to read 10 different reports about it

 

[Mr Men]

Nice addition to the channel!

 

[GravyMonster]

Heads up, its on now

 

[GravyMonster]

Sky F1 have announced Jacques Villeneuve as a pundit at this race... NOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[Doohickey]

Urgh, Sky's coverage seems to get duller with each race.

 

[deuse]

I just turned over from BBC to sky to catch the Drivers interview(but misssed it )
What carp music sky played at the end it's just yuk..

 

[deko]

Wow, the Sky F1 channel will be good this week. They're replaying the full races from 2007 - 2011, and a few classic races too. My Sky box has nowhere near enough space to store all of this.

The only proffesional in Sky is Martin for me. Rest of the team is just annoying me. Still prefer BBC coverage ....

 

[Kimi]

Well, ive decided i hate the Sky coverage, bland and boring, apart from Martin, the best bit is Pinkham but they keep her off the screen

They need to do what they did with football and get some fan zone commentators, tell you what, get me on there, id love to do it

Hail Schumacher

 

[deko]

Anyone else noticed that all the British GPs that have been on the past couple of days all say "Britsh Grand Prix"?

 

[MissChief]

I've noticed that too!

Free Weekend - Sample all the Sky Sports channels on the weekend of July 20-22

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/12040/7897074/Free-weekend

 

[Skeeter]

I wonder if you will be able to Sky+ something from the free weekend channels and watch it later? I'd like to watch the IndyCar.

 

[Mr Men]

doubt it

 

[neverender]

From my experience with previous Sky freebies (a free month of Sky Movies springs to mind), anything you record in the period will lock itself down again once the promotion ends. I ended up with loads of recorded movies that greeted me with the usual 'Call XYZ to upgrade your subscription' message

 

[DirtyRaver]

Been watching a lot of the F1 season reviews lately, but the past week went 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991 then jumped straight to 1995.

Have they alread shown the years in between?

Oh and the 1991 cars were much better looking than todays!

 

[Skeeter]

They have been showing them all since the channel launched, and always in an annoyingly random order
