Much of the Sky coverage is the same as 2011 BBC, a couple of bits better ( no EJ being one) but they need a decent anchor.

Lazenby is a decent anchor, it's not his job to do the simple maths nor is it his job to understand fuel loads on lap times (though some understanding would be of use).
He's there to host the show, ask a few preprepared questions and read out other stuff that's also prepared in advance.
He has his panel of experts for that sort of thing.
As for Sky's coverage being much of the same, well I don't think that there is a huge amount more that can be done.
Both BBC and Sky work in the same restricted area between the back of the garages and the hospitality. It will always be the same interviews with the same team personalities and the same banal questions at time too.
