I've been trying not to think about F1 going over to sky next year but the news I've just seen today has made my heart sink a little. I go by this article in the Telegraph:- http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/mo...-Sky-TVs-new-Formula-One-commentary-team.html
Unfortunately, it looks like Brundle and Croft will go over to Sky and form their commentary team. I find that strange seeming as they are now both lead commentators and I really cannot imagine Croft as being in the "analyst" role, therefore, Brundle would essentially step back into his old role. I actually think Brundle is brilliant as lead commentator and have to say I have loved his relation with David Coulthard in the commentary box this year.
The next annoying thing is that BBC supposedly have the option to share the commentators with Sky, but are unlikely to do so? Surely the majority of fans would prefer they shared commentators and that way we could still keep the same team. I thought it was going to work that way with just Sky and BBC having separate presenters/analysts surrounding the coverage?
Anyway, the final nail in the coffin is that Ted Kravitz also looks like he might be going to Sky and I personally really enjoy Ted's insight. He doesn't always get it right, but I think he is a very likable person.
Oh well, I can see Sky taking everything from BBC and then BBC coming up with a 2nd rate presentation/commentary team. I am not happy with BBC in all of this - they don't seem to be doing anything the fans want and more just looking after themselves.
