Wait a minute - lots of people moaning that Sky are running a loop of programmes, but please use your brains - this is because many of the support / feeder series haven't yet started up. In a couple of races time, into the schedules will go all GP2 and GP3 coverage, so the lack of new programming will not be an ongoing issue, or at least not to the extent it is at the moment. Either way, we are currently through sky getting a vast amount more coverage than any other station has previously given us (car unveilings, testing highlights, legends programmes, analysis from testing, multiple feeds, features from various factories etc.). There's just no pleasing some people.

Watched it on sky. Didnt like it as much as BBC. Damon was good but the guy anchoring it(dont know his name) wasnt a patch on Humphrey. He kept saying things even I knew were wrong and got corrected a few times by Damon. Only little things but annoying.

To be fair, Jake was just as s*** when he began 3 years ago. You have to give him a chance. I actually like his personality and presenting style. Jake I think used to dumb it down a little for my experience.

That is probably because the BBC used to do it so well. SKY have a history of catering to the lowest denominator.

Jake's a foil for the experts and he's relaxed. It's a good balance.
Take the point that the new guy needs a chance. Just love Jake's personality.

Enthusiasm for the sport just oozes out Jake which is what makes him so watchable IMO. Ok, it's not the manic type of enthusiasm Murray was renowned for but hey, it's enthusiasm none-the-less... :wink:

He's had his chance and he is useless. He adds nothing at all to the coverage. Sure it needs someone to be the lead presentor but I'd much rather it was someone who knows what they're talking about.

Sky's coverage wasn't as good as the BBC's last season,all based on this qualifying session and testing.

It's kinda basic, there isn't that enthusiasm form the presenters nor are they picking up on little facts that the BBC would, like Perez didn't go at all in Q2, it was never mentioned. When he worked for the BBC Ted would've told us during the session what was going on.

I think many would disagree with you. He's had his chance,developed his own style, is enthusistic, is fun and has gained a lot of knowledge. Far from useless.

I don't think Damon and Martin don't get on well either, there is no chemistry between the two.

Just watched quali on BBC. So much better. More informed, more driver interviews, just seemed altogether more professional. I know SKY is better than nothing, but lets hope they improve!!
