    There's already a petition running to hoof her out.

    So Barbara Slater puts the final nails in F1 coffin...
    It pains me to say it but she's right.

    Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!

    Why? She's adopting a cost cutting strategy and trying to run her bit of the business right. That's more than can be said for Bernie.

    No doubt Wimbledon will be safe .... the BBC refuses to disclose what they pay. It must be serious cash as Sky haven't been about to win it ...

    Definitely. But let's have one thing staying terrestrial. 

    How much do people actually like Sky's F1 coverage? I can't think of one thing they've brought in that is better than previous broadcasters. Ted Kravitz started with Chrysalis in the ITV days, Brundle's being knocking about for years, David Croft likewise, Anthony Davison got his first commentary roles on the BBC... there are times watching Sky on my flatmate's telly where I get wistful for the days of Jim Rosenthal on ITV :D

    Oh, even better. Bernievision! Did anyone else have that? I love John Watson to bits as a commentator.

    I prefer Sky's covereage.  It doesn't have Eddie Jorden.

    I like Brundle.  He seems to me to know what he's talking about and I get the feeling the drivers, team bosses etc by and large respect him.  I find David Croft somewhat irritating but not as much as Jonathan Legard who was Brundle's co-comm in his later BBC days.

    The other Sky presenters are bland imo and I don't watch any of the BBC "coverage".

    Just been down to Yas Marina for the pitwalk. Quite good fun - saw a Manor, a Toro Rosso and a Mercedes getting scrutineered. Saw James Allison on the pitwall and Tom Clarkson (I think) from the BBC. Slightly worrying was the complete lack of gear from Lotus. No garage equipment, no pitwall shizzle, no cars... :(

    Excellent news :)

    There's a genuine chance of some rain over the weekend here as well - would be a first! It's been on & off pissing down in Dubai all week :D

    Just remembered I also saw Nico Rosberg in the Merc garage looking busy and hardworking, as you'd expect.

    If I didn't want Sky sports for the rugby I'd be cancelling it.
