Watching  the Australian F1 show and the AI studio it sucks Anthony on the sky  board won't be interviewing the drivers about there lap. Why different presenting every race. It's become sterile. And very disjointed.  


So Sky will be presenting from the London studios for the next 3 fly away races. (Australia, Japan and China).

 

Sky aren't unique in doing this with Channel 4 also taking the same approach and presenting from the UK, with only a reduce presence at the circuits.

 

The reasons for this is to reduce the carbon footprint of the broadcasters and help the broadcasters and F1 meet their net zero targets. 

Dare I say they probably enjoy the additional cost savings it makes and I'm sure the presenting teams prefer being able to spend more time at home that have to fly out for these long distances races.

 

It wouldn't surprise me if over time we see more of this and it isn't just for the long flyaway races.
