This is a question for all the UK viewers.
So which channel are you going to watch the live coverage of the Chinese GP?

The BBC will flatten Sky this time. No question.

Who is on BBC's race/Q commentary? DC? EJ?
What about practice sessions? They've lost Crofty, Pinkham, Kravitz, AND Davidson to SKY...

I will probably watch it on SKY via internet.

I may have both streaming simultaneously; switching between audio... although I think that I'd still prefer MB. I do miss the DC/MB combination!

in case anyone else was wondering...

i think my preference would be to watch BBC for pre/post race and qualy, and sky for everything else.

Jake Humphrey remains as presenter, alongside chief analyst Eddie Jordan and co-commentator David Coulthard, while Ben Edwards joins as commentator.
F1 car designer Gary Anderson will be technical analyst, while Lee McKenzie remains as pit-lane reporter.
James Allen becomes Radio 5 live commentator, with Jennie Gow in the pit-lane. Ex-Toro Rosso driver Jaime Alguersuari will provide the analysis.
Edwards has a wealth of motorsport commentary experience, having commentated on F1 for Eurosport and the former F1 Digital channel.

BBC, probably a fair amount of pre-conception but also based of the coverage I've seen from both.

Nah, I prefer the BBCs new Ben Edwards / DC combination. Now we have a lead commentator again, unlike the unusual situation we had when Legard departed... which was two supporting commentators together as a team. To be fair, they made a good job out the situation though.

practice sessions - Sky...
quali / race...... oooh toughie. I really like Brundles commentary. So for actual track time - Sky - but pre-post race coverage - BBC
