I suppose his blog / website / newspaper columns are still enough for him to keep his media accreditation, then.
Eric was up to something too!
Was he ever Media!

Regardless of the fact ted will be there a lot of viewers wont with the confusing and puzzling sky f1 packages
where you spend big bucks for some vast tv package to get 2hrs of f1 action a couple of times a month over the summer.
q1/2/3 qualifying is all just filler of negligible value like watching footballers doing their warm up and all the midweek replays
of q1/2/3 qualifying is a bit like reading old newspapers again.

There's also F2, which usually provides decent racing and now the full Indycar season live too...where you spend big bucks for some vast tv package to get 2hrs of f1 action a couple of times a month over the summer.

2 hours?
It's on for 3 f
king days every 2 weeks, the race program ltself lasts for a lot longer than 2 hours, then there's f2 and f3 races, F1, f2 and f3 qualifying and all 3 sessions of F1 practice.
No offense but you're talking out of your arse.

You think qualifying is of 'negligible value'? You mean where the cars run their highest power settings, with the lowest weight and no tyre wear issues? You know - where the cars are at their fastest?of q1/2/3 qualifying is a bit like reading old newspapers again.
Maybe Motorsport isn't for you.

TBF quali has got a bit stale over recent years but I think that's more down to where certain teams have been with it being pretty predictable who'd be out in Q1 and Q2. Maybe Motorsport isn't for you.
Thinking about it though, Q3 isn't much better with most teams going straight out for a couple of laps to set a benchmark, then sit in the pits until they go out for a glory run.

I like qually, it's all the boring chat that takes up the time.
maybe this is what I mean. If they just showed it with the numbers up the side of the screen without all the excessive chat it would be fine with me. But if you have paid for you sky f1 sub I guess you will get up at 2am to watch first practice. Im glad I wont have to.

Sounds like that’s all he will be doing and won’t actually be at any of the races which is a huge shame."Additionally, in an update to this year’s schedule, Sky Sports F1® presenter, Ted Kravitz, will host new show, F1® Midweek Debrief, each Wednesday of the 2019 season.

This show is basically a re hash of the show Natalie Pinkham use to do. So, looks like he’s been demoted.

Just looked at the tv planner, and there is no "Teds notebook". This show is basically a re hash of the show Natalie Pinkham use to do. So, looks like he’s been demoted.
But there is a program called "paddock walkabout"
So does indeed look like someone else is doing the notebook which im not too sure will work without Ted...

They've probably got Karun doing it now.
I'd call that an upgrade personally.No offense to Ted, I enjoyed his presentation. But Karun has a way breaking down the most complex technical details or race occurrences in a handful of words that invariably make complete sense. Not bad for a guy that also manages to be quite ammusing.

He should do a youtube channel or something, wonder if globally enough people would watch to fund it?
