Mark Hughes just tweeted he's leaving AUTOSPORT for Motorsport. Big loss for AUTOSPORT, and massive coup for Motorsport.

I read the announcement at Motor Sport. Unfortunately the digital magazine is not available as PDF :(

So I guess Adam Cooper will write the reviews in 2014.

Yeah, he's a very good writer and makes everything seem effortless.

Who will replace Hughes at Autosport then?

I miss Simon Arron's writing in MN & Motorsport - I met him briefly at Red Bull HQ but he's stepping aside properly from covering F1 now I think.

I bet theres no proper camera coverage because its Jerez. Didn't sky have coverage at Catalunya? The next two tests at Bahrain, I bet are televised.

Why would there be less coverage because it's Jerez? :confused:

I never really think there's anything to see anyway. They need someone to commentate on either long periods of not much happening or cars doing installation laps or just constant fuel runs, for 3 whole days. Highlights of any incidents and Ted's excellent 'Development Corner' are all you need really.

I know Moto GP are there, but I cant see F~0~M bothering with a feed Jerez especially when it seems half the teams wont be there. Bahrain will be fully utilised I will wager. Sky only televised the final test at Barcelona last year.

Id normally agree, but this is a whole new car and engine, new rules. I cant wait to see them on screen!

F-O-M send people to every test but obviously not with a live feed (unless you're very, very clever).

With Bahrain it might also depend what time of day they hold the test.

I think they will just do 2-3 hours of the testing like with last year, if they do. I think it was 1pm-4pm or 2pm-4pm GMT.

Yes, but remember Bahrain's time difference, so they might end up running the test from something like 5am to 1pm UK time.

Wow. Watching Sky's Malaysian coverage and they have Bruno lost-my-drive-twice Senna for colour commentary. He fits right in with rest of the Red Bull/Vettel haters. Nice double standard they have where Seb is held to this 'spokesman for F1' while Bernie can say what he wants. I thought we fought a war and defeated the Nazis?

If you have been following Sky's 'Sensorgate' coverage it is nothing but a propaganda campaign against Red Bull added to the intense almost hatred of Vettel by all of Sky's on camera 'talent'.
Really shocking for a Canadian to see British press so blatantly biased in its coverage.
The dogged unwillingness of Sky's commentators to distinguish between Technical regulations and Technical recommendations is very reminiscent of Herr Goebbels.
