I dont know, its different because we got used to exceptionally good coverage for free (sort of), now we were told we would get even better coverage with Sky, but it costs a lot of money so it should be.
The pre-show sofar for this qualifying has been... well its too broken up with adverts for me to form an opinion, but lets just say I can't see how they could possibly call it superior to the BBC's production the last 3 years.
I dont want to make it a discussion about this, So i'l end it there and just say I'm so far very disapointed with this, coming from the point of view of the coverage the UK had last year.
On the mercedes thing, I hope the protest gets thrown out also, quite silly really.
