No, it's Rosanna Tennant
No, in the aftershow it was Rachel Brookes, Karun and Crofty.

Rosanna works for F1TV, not Sky.

Don't know if this was posted earlier already, but if it has, apologies; anyway, Autosports take on the first testing day and Ferrari's form.



I think it's intriguing, especially given the differences in aero philosophies that Ferrari (and more so Sauber/Alfa) has gone in a very different direction than Mercedes and somewhat RedBull has. The big question here is, if Mercedes have got it wrong and missed a beat or not. If they have (or Ferrari have), it won't be as easy to change.
Not for nothing, Rosberg's Championship is the only thing that lends credibility to Hamilton's recent success. Otherwise, he'd just be the guy who's had the best car. — bhall II

Williams part still haven't left Grove apparently. Rumor has it that there are issues with Brakes, suspension and floor.

Rosanna was working as Sky's pitlane reporter yesterday afternoon.

Anderson seems to be pretty certain that the times Mercedes were posting yesterday are a very accurate representation of the best the drivers could get out of it.

I assume he's trolling. They may well not have the fastest car, but I suspect it's unlikely that Bottas and Hamilton were ringing the neck of the car on Day 1.

Yeah, but the SkyF1 show was done in the paddock later in the day with the Sky presenters.

There is now way he can be serious. Its pretty obvious that Mercedes is hiding is true pace like they did last year.

I suppose at this point it might even be giving similar performance. But I believe that Ferrari's route has more room for improvement.

While Rosanna works for F1 TV, she was plugged in for a while in between for Sky Coverage. But it was Rachel who was doing all the hosting, driver interviews and the post testing show.
