Hi all,
im a bit of an F1 fan and just watched the season preview show on sky.
Im not one for change and when it moved from itv to the beeb i was mortified, but then really enjoyed the bbc coverage.... then last year found out it was moving to sky and thought s**t, now ill have to get sky sports! But alas with HD already subscribed you get the F1 channel anyway.... result . So i liked the bbc, and then its moving to sky and again id just settled into the programme format and change again. I have to say though after watching the preview show how much im looking forward to the sky coverage. It seems theyve taken a step towards emulating F1 itself as the most technologically advanced sport, and have moved the coverage up a gear with some great features and insights as well as more comprehensive coverage of the race weekend itself 8) . A few familiar faces with Brundle and Kravitz and some new ones too offer a good mix of 'punditry', although i will miss the David Coulthard/Eddie Jordan banter which used to crack me up...eased slightly with the addition of Georgie Thompson and Natalie Pinkham !
Naturally im excited about the prospects of the all British Button Hamilton McLaren Team again, and itll be interesting to see how all the teams shape up in first race practice and qualifying as to whos got an edge. Hopefully it wont be as one sided this year!
The driver changes are interesting too, especially the reintroduction of Kimi Raikkonen... will be good to see how he compares with his team mate in a lower level team.
Ah well at least the first race is this Sunday..... Mothers Day....im off to a farm with the wife and kids, and with sleep deprivation already a factor with the two little ones i wont be getting up at 4.30 to watch it live! A first race recording to be watched when the wifes gone to bed, not ideal, but im looking forward to it none the less!!
Cheerio,
Ady.
