Re: Formula One 2011
Sky Sports has been far superior in their football coverage to the degree I'd pay good money not to listen to Garth Crooks give a appalling review of a goal on the BBC. Apart from the Football League coverage I think Sky on this matter is better. At F1, probably not.

Re: Formula One 2011
Well, if F1 really is that important to you; if you're really that big a fan, then yes. If you didn't really care and
just found it "nice because it's free", then meh
I'll bet a lot of people have the Sky Sports pack anyway for football and the like - you tend to find "big event" sports fans watch all the major sporting events and pay for Sky Sports for that reason.
Did anyone find out any more deals, like will it just be the overnight races on Sky Sports or what?

The only people moaning about it are the people who are too tight to pay for Sky
Because however many hundred pounds a year is worth it for watching a few F1 races early...

Re: Formula One 2011
I'd love to have Sky, but its an expense thats not necessary, its a luxury we'd need to really consider, so its a shame. Having watched pretty much every race since 1995, I would genuinely consider paying for it, but its a lot of money. Having said that, i'd happily watch GP2/GP3 etc, but without Sky its not happening, so its followed on paper and online, and I make do with that.

Re: Formula One 2011
Couple of interesting interviews here:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/formula ... 342780.stm
I also just read an interesting statistic, and I haven't actually researched whether the figures are true or not but here we go:
The BBC is pulling in as many as 8 million viewers for some races.
There are 1.5 million Sky Sports subscribers in the UK.
