Very. I'm loving watching the Sky F1 broadcast this season. In the pre-race buildup, they went to Red Bull's Hanger 7 and 8 in a DC-6 escorted by a Corsair and Extra 300 - the hanger is awesome, complete with (Brit accent mandatory), "James Bond villain board room." The production quality is amazing, they don't interrupt the race with commercials, and the analysis on the Sky Pad is really helpful to understand what's going on in the cockpit.
The unscripted driver interactions make me like most of the drivers a lot more. Lewis was being interviewed after the Canadian GP, and Vettel crashed it to talk about the suicidal Seagull that bothered him. The interchange was fantastic. When the winners go to the ready room before the podium, Fox cuts away for the Analysts to blather. Sky puts the open mike on and you can listen to the drivers chat about the race - really cool. As a result, I like Vettel a lot more than when we was at Red Bull, Hamilton as well. Rosberg comes off as a petulant child, which is what Hamilton is accused of ironically.
Verstappen however - he's the real deal. Great move to take Kvyvat down, wonder how long he'll last...
