Any F1 Fans in the Neighborhood?

Hey, Joan, who's your number one guy - Button I presume?

Oh dear! Some people won't be pleased. F1 coming to Sky Sports | Sky Sports | Home | Latest

I'm not happy to say the least BBC won an award for F1 last year for best presentation ... surely they have enough viewers to justify showing it, but now they want to cut costs .... it is supposedly the second most watched sport in the world ... now they say its to expensive and sell the rights to sky from 2012 - 2018.

I'm a big F1 fan but i'm not gonna buy SKY just to watch F1... and how many pubs are gonna open at 6 in the morning for some of the early races that are overseas.

Went into the lounge when the qualifying sessions were starting today and greeted by hubby telling me Ernie is a two faced *** after telling everyone that Sky wouldn't get F1 to turn around now and they are. grrrrrrrrrrrr

He reckons it will lose a lot of viewers as there'll be a lot of them who can't afford to upgrade to Sky Sports.

Bernie always has been two faced.

I would agree with you Joan. Bernie Ecclestone is, and always has been money orientated. Its clearly a money making decision and not something to promote F1 to the public. All the work that has been done the past few years to increase spectator ship in the sport ruined because of one greedy little man.



Shame on you Bernie

P.s I've just searched that only 36% of people in the UK have sky never mind sky sports. Thats a big cut in viewing figures. How is that a solid financial decision.

I do like F1, but I have always prefered the F2 and F3 key more.

Ah! But F1 is so helpful.

Predictions for todays race anyone. Im gonna stick my neck out

1) Hamilton
2) Alonso
3) Vettel

Don't write Button off. It's going to be a wet race.
