F1 On Sky

[Kiwiavenger]

We have Sky HD and although we don't subscribe to the sports channels, the F1 channel is provided as part of the HD stuff, so didn't cost anything over what we're already paying.

The coverage was excellent and I found Damon Hill to be far superior to that kid's TV presenter that the Beeb were using last season. I just couldn't get away with him and unusually for me, he didn't grow on me.

bizarrely i didnt like jake humphreys to begin with but he grew on me! eddies shirts where marvelous though! lol

I like it, although I prefer Jordan and the Scottish One, to Hill.

And I don't think you can compare the viewing figures for the BBC and Sky because not a lot of pople have got Sky compared to just having a TV and a license.

FWIW I got SS for the footie, darts, cricket and ten pin bowling. the fact that now I can watch the F1 is an added bonus.

I don't have Sky. I suppose it comes from growing up in an era where you didn't pay for TV.

watch all the football and F1 races you like on veetle.com
They had the sky F1 stream for the race. I loaded it up on my iphone and then streamed it to my apple TV - Perfect and free

Ta for that, just downloaded it.

If there was an F1 race in my garden I'd draw the curtains.

I found that the veetle app was very poor, I found it better just to go to the veetle.com website on your phone and stream from there

(Damon Hill is surprisingly good).

So found his true vocation as he wasn't much good as a driver.

Found the coverage on BBC on Sunday quite good but don't plan to get Sky just for the F1 so I will just have to miss a few races .

Won a world championship. Not the best British driver of all time by any means, even among British single champions (or those that didn't win it) but sadly quite a few of them died young - Hawthorne, Clark, Graham Hill and James Hunt.

Probably the fairest comparison you could do on whether he was no good as a driver is 1993 vs 1997 Hill vs H-H Frentzen. It was after all Frank's idea to replace him with Frentzen. Hill won 3 races and accumulated 69 points, Frentzen a single victory and 42 points. Not as bad as people think.

Me too. Tyre-changing races for tax exiles.

I find sky a rip off, you already pay for it, then they charge more to see a boxing match or some other thing, that they are broadcasting.
