Where will you be watching F1 this season
F1 Coverage - Where will you be watching this season
After last year's shock that F1 had made the move to SKY many people dug their claws in and stayed with the BBC despite not showing all races live and just highlights later on in the day.
I went for SKY it seemed more built up and it's only going to get better and with the BBC losing Jake and replacing him with Suzi Perry.
So where will you be watching this year?

I prefer and usually watch on Sky (non HD) but then watch the BBC HD races. I much prefer the commentary of Brundle & Croft and their more detailed analysis of just about everything within F1. I always feel listening to Edwards & Coulthard that I'm missing something.
Perry adds nothing to the game for me, therefore easily staying with Sky.

It will be interesting to see what happens to the viewing figures this season. They were down 16% overall last year on 2011.

Nine races confirmed and they are stalling on announcing the tenth which is in between the British on the 30th June and the Belgium GP on 25th August.
Therefore it's between the German or the Hungarian GP.

Sky everytime for me. Cannot stand Suzi Perry, Jake is a huge loss for the Beeb he really was a quality presenter and suited the role perfectly.
Sky also have just much better all round coverage

I'll be watching both. I'll stick with the BBC for the races they are showing and watch Sky for the rest.
I'm interested to see how Suzy Perry fits in with the rest of the Beeb team and I like to compare and contrast the coverage anyway.

Re: F1 Coverage - Where will you be watching this season
Yer, I like to have a mix of the two but generally prefer Sky and it's commentary and post race analysis. I'll be watching the race live on Sky and then I'll watch the BBC highlight show and the repeat in the afternoon to watch it again and have the different commentary for a different feel. Remember we have been starved of racing for months, so watching the race twice in one day should be very doable.

Sky as I did last year - tended to Iplayer the F1 Forum for a bit of extra analysis with a lighter hearted side but without Jake might just leave it to Sky

Both for me - just as last year. Suprisingly preferred Coulthards commentary though - felt he called it right more times than Sky - and gave better technical info during the race.

I don't think there's much to choose between Coulthard and Brundle in terms of technical info and generally calling it from a driver's perspective, but DC does seem warmer and friendlier, plus his commentary seems to have a more modern slant to it.
Overall I think I prefer DC, but don't feel as though I'm missing anything when watching Sky's coverage.
