BBC Coverage

The head of BBC sport has apparently been sighted in Monza so either she's on holiday or there's still some negotiation going on.

Considering that most races are over 90 mins, 75mins seems fair for highlights for most races IMO.

Yes but not as the sole available coverage.

F1 fans at Monza chanting behind EJ and Jake after the race. Made me laugh!

Eddie is far more popular than one might expect, and the anti-Sky chanting was almost as funny as the "Sky News is sh##, watch the BBC" from the general election coverage. :D

Apparently the Singapore GP is in August.

How could they make such a mistake. They should be prevented from covering F1 and closed down like they did with News of the World.

Harsh!!

That was brilliant. A decent proof that we don't want Sky.

Another great 4 hours of F1 coverage from the BBC. I can't see Sky doing the same!

That is true, adds will surely be all over the place after the race finishes and no parc ferme, no podium or press conferences live.
