China GP: BBC vs. SKY!!!

Postby macedadon »

This is a question for all the UK viewers.

So which channel are you going to watch the live coverage of the Chinese GP?

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...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/bbc-teams/

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.

...


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

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.
