Aabar Investments, Autonomy, MIG Bank, Graham London.
Also many others aren't even available in the UK. Such as Petronas
Then you have the actual manufacturers

Fortunately for you guys in the UK, it's really quite easy to watch the races BBC doesn't show live online. I know a guy who's been watching BBC F1 coverage in Finland all year

That's even before you add on subscription costs - and even then most subscription channels still bombard you with adverts even though you've already paid!
I think we're straying off the point somewhat though...Useful F1 Twitter thingy: http://goo.gl/6PO1u
