Both. The BBC has the familiar faces you are used to, which is hard to compete with, but sky has some very good technical programs that Brundle seems to enjoy doing, as well as more historical stuff as well, (old races, the legends segment, and so on). They both get the same feed, so all square on that score.
Commentary, both are OK. I prefer listening to Brundle, than DC, so like sky's commentary, but one is no better than the other.

I don't have Sky now but when I did I even preferred the ITV Football coverage to that of Sky's. The Grandiose self importance and trivial content of the coverage produced by them is so annoying.
So you have no base to judge the F1 coverage then? 
I wonder how many will vote for reasons other than the actual coverage?

I don't have Sky but voted for liking both because I have seen 3 live races on Sky and their coverage is not too bad. Plus they do have Brundle, which is their biggest asset.
If EJ and Jake moved to Sky their team would be perfect.
Given that Jake is leaving the BBC to front football on BT Vision that seems unlikely. EJ is the reason I voted Sky.If EJ and Jake moved to Sky their team would be perfect.
In terms of the races I cannot really choose between the two.
Much of the difference in the build up for Sky is just tinsel and shiney things rather than anything of actual substance though.
ETA: Based on watching 3 on Sky, so there may be more I have missed where something amazing did go down.

BBC is far better for me. Sky has its fancy graphics, but i can't stand Lazenby.
The big worry is who BBC are going to get in for next season to replace Jake Humphrey, cause he's off to host Premiership football on BT.
The graphics are too cheesy. Johnny Herbert and Doris pretend to touch graphics to make them full screen - it's just cringe worthy.The big worry is who BBC are going to get in for next season to replace Jake Humphrey, cause he's off to host Premiership football on BT.
For me its Sky- because I can see it all live and Brundle is easy on the ear....
That said its not perfect- Lazenby needs to be fired pronto and the shouty twonk with Brundle in commentary can't be far behind him IMO.
If they need more budget the Sky Pad nonsense can go too, the bint isn't bad but serves no real purpose.
Still dissapointed at the beeb for the whole affair- can't blame Sky for picking up a dropped ball, its not perfect but its better than nothing.

t!Both are fine, I'm still not sold on the sky lead presenter but I certainly don't dislike him. However I would prefer everything to be on BBC so I don't have to go online to watch the F1, and wouldn't have to pay a premium to watch it.
BTW how much motorsport is actually available on sky as when I last looks it all seemed to be on espn etc which would require another subscription!

Most of the GP2, GP3 and Porsche Carrera cup is on there, sometimes it need recording at funny hours but I think it may even all be on thereBTW how much motorsport is actually available on sky as when I last looks it all seemed to be on espn etc which would require another subscription!
