I take this as a measure of confidence from Sky that they can go against the BBC. Sky's coverage has come a long way in a very short space of time and they deserve credit for sticking with Simon Lazenby after what was a truly awful start. He's now comfortably ahead of Suzy Perry in terms of lead presenter. At the same time the BBC have lost Jake Humphrey, let Gary Anderson go and now we only see Eddie Jordan on live broadcasts - and he might appear a clown but he's actually broken some of the major stories over the last few years and that shouldn't be ignored.
On top of that some of Sky's Senna memorial programming was really good - especially The Last Teammate which I thought was really powerful, it certainly caught my mood on the day.
But, as I said earlier, the BBC's coverage is still decent, and streets ahead of most of the rest of the world, with the possible exception of France. Sky have definitely got themselves ahead though.
