It was probably for familiarity, she's been the face of SSN for years. For existing sky customers that are new to the sport it will be a familiar face. Also she did A1GP.
I agree though, much prefer Natalie Pinkham.
All the Sky glitter is crap, bar Brundle and Kravitz, the presenting team is crap, Croft is incompetent, post-Murray, DC is the only co-commentator I've enjoyed, it's like coming up for air when Brundle cuts in over these incompetents, so yes, don't like Croft 
I don't like all the usual sky dramatisation and graphics and the silly sky pad and trying to stretch out non subjects.
I enjoy having Brundle and Ted still around, and Croft isn't as detestable as Leggard, yet, so I'll cope.

The thing were the drivers face appears and they look up at you seems.. silly.

They're just copying what they do for the premier league, and I think it's **** there as well

Not really representative yet as it's a dawn race start for us but Sky had 526,000 viewers of the live race coverage (not sure if that includes people who recorded it).
BBC had 2.7m viewers of the rerun.

So were down to complaining about the image they use for the drivers face now? Wow, we really are scraping the bottom of the barrel for things to moan about, aren't we
On a high horse there?
The weird 'look up' poses they have are gash and serve no purpose. As fee paying customers we've a right to a voice, especially if it's money being wasted on flashy crap like that.
Yeah, I mean those 2 second videos would have cost what, £2m each, easy?
I think the Sky spite has reached a new level of patheticness for people to get this up tight about some minor graphics. Grow up man, you'll be complaining about the colour of the microphones next!

Maybe could have spent the money on making practice sessions ad free
do you have shares in Sky now or something?
Lol, yes, because pointing out that moaning about some minor graphics is pathetic somehow makes me the worlds biggest Sky fanboy 
I love how this forum only seems compatible with polar extreme arguments. When you get those questionnaires where you state your level of agreement to a statement, do you only fill out 'Strongly agree' and 'Strongly disagree' because any sort of middle ground opinion is alien to you?

How so?
I must admit Sky overdo things IMO.
Too many graphics and too much repeating of " and you're watching Sky Sports F1 HD, which is in surround sound 5.1, only on Sky Sports F1 HD, have we mentioned you're watching Sky Sports F1 HD!? "
