    They haven't had Monaco the last couple of years i think. Probably a combination of Sky really wanting it as an exclusive and BBC realising that for the majority of viewers Canada is a much better show.

    Nope, it was a Sky exclusive last year as well <laugh>

    For the curious, compared to last year the BBC have gained Brazil, Bahrain, and Hungary; in exchange they have lost Italy and Spain. (The extra race comes from the fact they only had 9 races last year)

    A bit disappointed they didn't get Australia . Hopefully though given the time difference it will mean it will be shown at a " normal time ".

    The highlights I mean .

    Not a bad coverage. I can deal with Skys blinding bias for the other gp's

    I did mean bias in general and not about a gp specifically. It would be wierd if their favouritism spread from drivers to tracks though lol.

    Just got SKY and am going to renew my interest in F1 seeing as my magic box can record the races and skip through any safety cars and so on. Lost interest as the BBC coverage is poor since they lost exclusivity, I saw the race where poor Bianchi got hurt and their coverage of that and the race in general was really shocking. Given up on Ferrari who I followed in the glory days of Schumi, don't know what they are doing letting the best driver go and replace him with Vettel- McLaren Honda for me now, lifes too short to follow a team when you can't stand the lead driver
