So that's why she's not on The Gadget Show then?

I think this is the beginning of the end for the BBC, as they have lost Monaco live

Ouch. Bad for F1 in general, it seems to be on a suicide path in the UK :(

While it is a glitz fest, is there ever a really 'great' race or racing at Monaco?

Usually not, but that's not the point it's the marquee event. They just need to make sure they have the British Grand Prix. If they don't have that they might as well give up.

Shows to me at least that BBC are not committed to F1 anymore
Last year BBC prided themselves that they would broadcast live British GP, F1's blue riband event Monaco and the last race, only to ditch Monaco at the earliest opportunity.

That and missing the first 2 races of the year live and in full is rather poor

Compromise.

They've gained Canada and dibs on the TBC summer race.

The only reason I got the F1 channel is that I was already thinking of upgrading my Sky box to the HD/1TB model anyway, so the F1 channel kind of sealed the deal. If I had to subscribe to Sky Sports then I would have found something else to do with my weekends.
