    Did the BBC show Monaco last year or am I imagining things?

    No, the Monaco GP was a Sky Sports-exclusive event.

    Ah, ok. I wish Sky offered an online only F1 package, because I'd consider buying that. The Now TV stuff is too expensive because it works out at about £30 a weekend.

    I rather watch the BBC highlights show than sky sports F1 live.

    The race is the race, its the pre-show and presentation that Sky really win at. Lots of good content.

    I upgraded to Sky + HD for the sole purpose of watching the all the races. I couldn't imagine watching a race without Brundle doing commentary, so wherever he goes I go! ;)

    For some reason Sky annoy me. Same with football. They just waffle on too much before and after the race. Brundle does nothing for me neither.

    Completely disagree with this, Sky's pre-race and post race is the most artificial scripted rubbish. I watch the race on Sky but I don't bother turning it on till about 10-15 mins before the race starts and then as soon as the race finishes it's turned off. The only exception to this is Ted's notebook which is absolutely fantastic.

    Neither the BBC or the Sky team or as good as the pre-Sky BBC lineup of DC, EJ, Brundle, Jake Humphrey. That was a great team.
