BBC vs Sky - The Story so Far

[Wasted Talent]

I watched some of the testing coverage today. Sky handled it like a practice session: Croft commentating with guests including Paul Hembrey, Adrian Sutil, and Johnny Herbert; Ted in the pitlane. It was quite informal in tone, and interspersed with driver interviews. Obviously the coverage wasn't up to FOM standards: there were no onboards, less trackside cameras and only the most basic timing, but overall it was a useful programme. It's on for the next three days at 2pm UK time if anybody's interested (and I suspect the viewing figures will reflect that very few are!).

I watched some of it too, and listened to it whilst doing other things. The interviews were good, and relevant, as you say it was pretty much like a FP session but with extras. I agree that the viewing figures will be minimal but I doubt that will worry them too much, it is just part of Sky's in-depth coverage.
