From what I can gather none of the NBC guys will be on the broadcast team. It appears ESPN is going to show the Sky feed with possible commentators in Bristol.

They're going to broadcast the world feed, which is what NBC does. NBC also has their broadcast team in the studio except for a few races (Monaco, Canada, US). From that standpoint it won't be any different on ESPN.

NBC was also paying $3 million/yr for the rights and it sounds like ESPN won't be paying anything at all.

I'll never watch another F1 race if this holds true. My fricking hatred for espn has no limit, and I can only imagine the kind of half-assed, fricked up, brain dead, commentary they'll provide. frick espn.
