    These were likable people, but I think when F1 was on Speed and NBS sports, there were so many commercials that it was one of the lowest points in F1 history in USA. The current ESPN coverage is great because of exactly this issue.

    yes, I miss those guys too. Especially in the iteration with Bob Varsha.

    As soon as the bugs are better worked out of the F1TV service, Sky F1 is leaving my living room. Have you had many issues with it so far this season???
    Ok so far, but I very rarely watch anything live, and I always have the TV as a backup in case anything goes wrong. Not sure that I'd want to rely on it exclusively just yet, but it gets you a lot of additional footage (and they seem to be gradually adding more series) which is a nice bonus.

    I don't believe that anyone who was subjected to SPEED or NBC sports productions of F1 racing, could disagree with you. It's such a pleasure today to watch a race on ESPN, without any of those many constant commercial interruptions.

    Exactly! I mean what a character! I met Matchett in Las Vegas at the BMW Pit Lane Park that ran in conjunction with the Consumer Electronics Show. A sincerely nice guy, and very informed!

    I met Hobbs at the Long Beach Grand Prix this year.
    I have to admit, I was nervous talking to him, but he is a great gentlemen. It was an honor to meet you Mr. Hobbs

    If we could get the coverage from Sky, but with Hobbs, Matchett, and Varsha on commentary..... well they could charge me more for my F1 TV package. Seriously, I miss the exchanges that took place with those guys.
