Although I have access to Sky F1 I gave up watching it because of the endless drivel being churned out, much prefer C4 but wish Ben Edwards and Karun Chandhok were back. The Netflix series "Drive to Survive" shown late at night on Sky F1 were most entertaining if only for the number of profanities from Guenther Steiner!

Radio coverage-related, but it's a pleasure to hear Ben Edwards on BBC Five Live Sports Extra this morning.

Yes, it’s been good to hear his voice again. No offence to Mr Nicholls, but Ben is still the best commentator and is as good as ever

Watched Barcelona Q last night (Oz time) - really did think that "the squeaky screamer" (Croft) was going to have a seizure of some kind the way he carried on when Hamilton got his 100th pole.
For us, it is Sky coverage or nothing, so Croft is unavoidable but I find that it helps to have the volume control handy! |

I really don’t remember Crofty at that point. Watch James Allen and Button winning in Hungary for his first win and we’ll talk annoying.

James Allen was always annoying!
One really good thing about the sky coverage this weekend in no Kravitz. |

Button is doing a good job during the pre race imo. Expectedly, he brings a unique insight.
Wonder if he could do race commentary one day. |

When I tune into BBC Five Live for today's race, as I don't have Sky, can I expect to hear Ben Edwards?

Pretty sure it was just Monaco he did
If I was Ted Kravitz, I'd take this race off too! (As well as Singapore and Abu Dhabi ) |

Button did Monaco and he actually admitted on his Beyond the Grid podcast he almost turned up late due to a night on the booze, I think in Cannes
Anyone else notice the error C4 sometimes made when they went to a break, when they claimed it was round 3 in Portugal and showed old Portuguese GP footage? |

Depends if it’s spinning a car or doing PR spin
