Last GP of the year + Brundle to commentate for Sky in 2012!! Woohoo!!!!

Well its all over for another year and I will greatly miss not seeing an F1 car turn a wheel for 2-3 months. Bring on testing in the new year!!! I watched free practice 1 and 2 this weekend and every moment of the quali and race shows, I would usualy FF through Eddie Jordan!!

I shall be joining the Sky revolution with Sky`s new F1- HD Channel although I dont have an HD TV. Last night Martin Brundle let the world know that he will be working for Sky next year and that is great news!!!


Bring on 2012!!

Nice to here Brundle is already on board. I hope they snag Humphries as well. He's come a long way in the last couple of years and would like to see him be given his shot. It seems like he's developed a pretty good rapport with alot of the teams as well.

I will also be watching as a current sports subscriber, so I'll be getting it included.

I lost interest towards the end of the season once it became the "Vettel show". Hope Maclaren and Ferrari can compete against RB next season.

I'm waiting to see whether Virgin can come to an agreement with sky before considering moving.I suspect Sky will keep this channel for themselves, much like Atlantic.

Whilst I begrduge paying the Sky fees every month you cannot argue that in terms of sporting coverage they are second to none. OK there are some presenters/commentators I'd change but in terms of the pictures, amount of coverage including build up and post game analysis they are second to none. I think giving Brundle a featuring role next season will be a master stroke and I reckon he'll get some decent scoops as well as giving the usual grid tour

Here's an extract from SkySports.com fairly hot off the press...

In an eagerly-awaited announcement, the station has confirmed that the hugely popular David Croft will join forces with Martin Brundle in the commentary box for each of the 2012's races, with Brundle on air during every day of each grand prix, dividing his time between paddock, pitlane and commentary box. The flexibility means that former F1 driver Anthony Davidson will be reunited with Croft for commentary duties for each of the weekend's practice sessions.
"In Martin Brundle we have the outstanding F1 broadcaster - on the track and in broadcasting, he's proved it time and again," commented Sky Sports Executive Producer Martin Turner.
"Working alongside him, David Croft is a passionate, experienced commentator and Anthony Davidson can bring great technical knowledge to live practice sessions."
In support, both Natalie Pinkham and Ted Kravitz will scour the pitlane in search of the inside scoop on what's occurring, with Kravitz also co-presenting the magazine show that Sky Sports have also announced will be part of their package.
Ted's co-presenter on the magazine show will be Georgie Thompson, a familiar face to viewers of Sky Sports News, while another familiar face to Sky Sports viewers, Simon Lazenby, will host each grand prix weekend.
And last, but by no means least, broadcasting veteran Steve Rider will stage a series of big interviews with racing legends of the past and present for Sky Sports.
"Ted Kravitz has huge knowledge of the pitlane and paddock and he and Natalie Pinkham will get the information and access our viewers need," added Turner.
"And guiding us through the coverage we have the experience of Simon Lazenby and Georgie Thompson. Each has hosted major sports events, from the British Lions to the Ryder Cup - they have trust and respect."
