Pfffff..... they couldn't have found a better commentator to subtly slag Schumacher off at any chance. However, I don't see why he shouldn't be bad at all, he's a fairly decent bloke!

*grinning from ear to ear as I have digital tv*

Yeah i think he will be quite good as a commentator, i doubt he will slag Schumacher off cause turning to commentating changes your views quite a bit

i think damon hill's coments will balance out the favouritism from james allen towards ferrari and schumacher

yeah i knew it was sky, but my comments were in reference to james allens bias towards ferrari,

Alex's comments were saying that hill would slag MS off, and i said it would balance out the above

Think he's turned out to be quite good actually. After thinking he'd be a bad choice to join the team!

Happy thread resurrection week! :D

I think that somehow, he's managed to be as past it as Eddie Jordan. He seems to have little intellect into what happens in a modern F1 team or car. I mean, he's OK, but he's just... there.

Herbert's at least got a bit more spark and a zest for life. He might make a decent anchor man, being not entirely slimey (Lazenby needs to go far, far away as he's still utterly punchable (technical term)).

The only good bits of Sky's F1 team are Kravitz, Brundle and Croft (in that order), which are thankfully the only guys you really need to hear from. F1 broadcasting in the UK died again the moment the BBC team was pulled apart.

Cheers. I try!

Kravitz is brilliant, and it's nip-and-tuck between him and Brundle for best Sky team member right now IMO, where before this year I would've chosen Martin without thinking twice. Crofty is not bad - the only better co commentator Martin has had is DC I think - but he's maybe only 90% of the way to being epic, if that makes any sense.
The worst by a mile is Lazenby, yep.

Oh yeah, and Ant works for them too.

I still can't stand Hill, although that comes with some previous bias from his time racing in the late 90s I will have to admit.

On another note, watching the BBC's coverage over the weekend it simply reinforced what is wrong with SkyF1's coverage for me.

There is simply no personality to it, while the BBC's coverage, despite the butchering it received at the end of 2011, still flows with it.

While Sky caked on the Senna stuff for a week, I thought the BBC in just one piece covered it so much better. Credit where it is due, The Last Team-mate by Sky was excellent though.

I don't care about the personality, or the build-up, or any of that rubbish; I want to watch the races themselves.

So, that brings it down to the commentary. Crofty and Brundle just does it for me; Edwards and Coulthard just seems second-rate. Martin Brundle's dry wit and Crofty's "pub-chat" persona is more my cup of tea.

Got to say, I've not watched any of the BBC coverage so far this season, and I've surprised myself - I think DC is a brilliant commentator, and Suzi Perry... Um, would make even better viewing if me and her were in the same place and by ourselves. But I've not missed any of that for some reason. I think there's no substitute for getting to see every race live really, and now I have my own flat and a personalized Virgin Media/Sky Sports subscription it wins hands down.
I'll try make an effort to catch up on the BBC coverage of various races soon though.
