The sky team does a nice job. Will be interesting to see how well this group dynamic plays in the states. The tech elements of their coverage are excellent

Have not watched the race yet, but the qualifying was annoying with Brundle yelling, not the smooth way that Hobbo and Matchet had.

Haas...whoops, big time!

I thought the commentary wasn’t very like very, but hopefully it’s just early season jitters until the get their groove.

Bahrain: No commercials, intense racing, well done ESPN/SKY... but no post race show at all!?! Matchett & Hobbs should fill this void, even if on another channel.
Regarding the Ferrari pit debacle, I would no more plant my foot in front of Kimi's wheel than I'd willingly stand in front of a gun.

massive improvement over the first race from the coverage side. i think that Liberty has also put some thought into camera placements as they really give the sense of speed and action that wasnt always the case in previous years.

and to top it all off the racing was excellent...

Fun race. Good to see some apparently solid competition finally.

On a different note, but simply for reference purposes.......
