Sky Sports F1 / UK Broadcaster
- Thread starter F1Brits_90
- Start date
As much as I love Johnny Herbert (his autobiography "What doesn't kill you..... Is absolutely brilliant) this announcement barely gets to 0.1 on my give a flying fuck meter.

Johnny Herbert, he had a good opinion & had a comedic element. but agreed he wasnt never the top pundits
but my main 1, is im delighted Paul di resta has gone. as i rarely dislike anyone on tv. probably only Jonathan Legard on that list before 2021. but during that season Paul di resta really boiled my piss. he was defending the indefensible multiple times with verstappen. Brazil comes to mind. it was so ridiculous thought i had accidentally tuned into Dutch tv.

I shall miss Johnny, if only for the comedy value, as he was a crap presenter. I presume Paul di Resta is moving to channel where the language he speaks can be understood as I haven't been able to decipher a word the bloke has said in all the years he's been on Sky.

fasinating insight into how much airtime each team gets
| Position | Person | Team | Percentage of content featured in during 2022 |
| 1 | Christian Horner | Red Bull | 33.7% |
| 2 | Toto Wolff | Mercedes | 18.2% |
| 3 | Guenther Steiner | Haas | 7.9% |
Anyone else think the figure for Horner is roughly 33.7 percent too high?

far too high, but ive always wonder if its a marriage of convenice or something because im sure barring the mexican issue, when not many people realised a difference. why he is on after every FP1 session
He's on after every FP1 session as he makes himself available. Red Bull exists through marketing and advertising, no one in their right mind would drink that rubbish if it wasn't all over a multitude of sports and advertised through every possible channel they can use.
As a PR machine Red Bull is exceptional. Other teams could learn from them, although some may not want to same level of intrusion. Horner is also very good at controlling any bad stories about the drivers and the team and spinning them to the best outcome for RB. By putting himself up for questioning they aren't chasing Max or Sergio around the paddock, or quoting "a source at Red Bull".

To be fair to Horner, he has been very successful, despite being in my opinion quite difficult to like. He does what is best for the team, and does it well
I personally would prefer less of him smarming up Sunday afternoons, but F1 needs it's bad guy I guess

I wonder what's happening behind the scenes for all these changes this week. Why didn't they wait for the end of the season?

I get the impression that Sky Sports are getting increasingly squeezed by F1. With the creation of F1TV, it would be much more profitable for F1 to sell directly to the public, rather than going through Sky. I would imagine that F1 are negotiating a massive uplift in the price of the F1 rights, for the future.
You can see some of this, given that the C4 team are the commentators on the F1TV feed, and the highlights on YouTube. Sky Sports have been getting more aggressive, by making available the “Sky Sports highlights”.
For me, the possibility of being able to get a contract where I don’t have to pay for kick the ball, hit the ball, fighting, and darts, I would be more willing to take out a subscription. Now, we just need the premier league to do something similar, and hopefully, it will break the domination of Sky.
