Sky F1 2012

What is the point of Anthony Davidson? Get's to commentate on practise then what?

 

[Vortex]

Sky probably hired him just to take him away from the BBC.

He's going to be an 'expert analyst'

Listened to him on 5 live a few times. He's not bad actually

 

[Brogan]

I don't like him - he keeps dissing our data

 

[gethinceri]

In which case, his access should be denied.

I don't think he'll be that good!
Also, the channel is there but it just shows replays of the advert 24/7, interviews with emmo and someone else I forgot! Starts at 8, recording it!
Edit: It's Sir Jackie!

I also have a feeling that Simon Lazenby is gonna be worse than Jake, but Jake was great (Brogan will disagree) and Simon doesn't seem to of watched f1 before 2011
Friday at 3: F1 Season Review 1988, at 10: Season Review 2011!

I agree I like Jake. Again probably the banter thing with them all I enjoy as a bit of light entertainment around it. Gonna reserve judgement on Sky F1, but somehow cant seem to stop my head being excited about it. Probably just the thought of F1 coming up in general TBH but will soon see.

More season reviews, 89, 90, 91! It is going to be awesome! Sadly I have a feeling i shall run out of room on my Sky Planner!

 

[Marc]

Cool ........ *heads for sky guide

 

[Greenman]

F1 Countdown report just starting on Sky Sports News .. looking forward to Friday launch!

 

[Jen]

Lunch, surely?

 

[Greenman]

No such thing as lunch in Ireland, just more potatoes!

 

[Marc]

Cant believe herbert has just said "Alonso for sure" in response to who can beat vettel to the top spot... He not been watching or reading anything regarding the Ferrari then or he know something we dont?

 

[Greenman]

I suspect Herbert will be a typical lazy pundit and base his opinions on sentimentality. Good to see two of the panel connected to the teams though, and we might get some insight out of the oncoming wall to wall coverage.

 

[Jos the Boss]

Only expert analyser Ant Davidson is who I would listen to, not Martin Brundle someone who actually scored a point!

 

[landogeorgelewis1]

was going on about the F1 report on SSN all weekend and i forgot to watch the bloody thing. Damn was it any good? I'm hoping it'll be on Sky Anytime so i can watch.

 

[Greenlantern101]

There is currently a fabulous time lapse sequence of the Williams team building their 2012 car on the Sky F1 channel - fantastic

Best five minutes of F1 I have seen for a while. Watched it 3 times now.
Heres a question, what is the bloke doing with his hand down the hole at the front of the car. I am guessing by the frequency of the big meetings (1 a day?) this is filmed over about 1 week and this guy must have his hand in that hole for 2 or 3 days straight in total.

Maybe its where they keep the wine gums.

If it's Williams he's waiting for the apprentice to find the spare bubble for the spirit level.
