If you want to watch all practice sessions, qualifying and races live, you have no option but to get Sky; the BBC get 10 races live, the live weekends also feature all sessions, but on non-live races, the BBC only have delayed highlights of qualifying and the race!

BBC.

Sky is part of an evil empire which I have no intention of helping fund.

I know what he asked and I answered the question.

The BBC's live race coverage has been good.

They show plenty. I don't feel like I'm missing out on much, if anything not having Sky.

Have you ever seen the Sky coverage to compare the two directly? It's not possible to make a comparison unless you have experienced both!

BBC works fine for me. Practice aside, hardly anything from quali or the race is actually omitted.

I'm fine with BBC, and its FREE

Apart from the tax you have to pay for the privilege of owning a TV.
