What are you watching this year?

Note; I'm not in the UK, so my opinion might be completely irrelevant .

I was able to watch BBC from where I live, but I can't afford Sky. Instead I pay 33£ monthly for the Norwegian channel that airs F1. It's a lot more expensive than watching BBC and the commentators suck, but at least I get to watch it live.
 
I'm waiting for the moment when MB is doing his grid walk pre-race (assuming he still does it for Sky?) and EJ is doing it for the BBC

also who will do the grid walk?!? Eddie Jordan......it won't be the same
I was under the impression that the grid walk for the BBC would be done by DC.

Also employing Gary seems to be a waste of money, what does he know that Coulthard doesn't? There wasn't 1 question that was put to him that David couldn't answer.
Gary Anderson would be able to answer really technical questions, ie how the Mercedes "blown wing" works ,but the BBC don't do really technical.
 
I'm probably going to end up watching the quali and race (not the buildup) on Sky, and then watch the highlights show on the BBC as well.

Does anyone know if BBC is still doing the F1 Forum this year? If so, is it just for the live broadcast races?

It doesn't matter who does it, it won't be the same. Don't know where i got Eddie Jordan doing it from though :confused:
 
where is the online stream option?
I presume you mean Sky Go or iplayer?

Other online streams tend be a tad on the illegal side so there's not going to be an option for that...
