USA F-1 TV off Speed TV?

My Fellow Americans, I've been watching the UK F1 broadcasts (all practices, quali and race) via the internet for many years. What I usually do is; open one window with live timing and a couple an F1 forums tabbed on it for chat, another window with either the BBC or Sky broadcast usually on headphones for the race and quali (although quali is not interrupted with commercials except for q1) I turn on the race on Speed HD and record it. I spend a lot of time watching live timing so the window with the UK broadcast is useful even when Speed TV is not on one of its absurd number of commercials. I re-watch the races on HDTV and skip the commercials to make sure I see all the finer details I may have missed while trying to keep up on sector times and the like. I have one resource for the UK broadcasts that has not let me down in over two seasons. If you would like a link to the site message me.

Hobbs, Matchett, and Buxton will move to NBC with Leigh Diffey.

I think NBC plans to use the same broadcast team for F1 and IndyCar this year.

Where did you see this, andrew? I watched the end of Brazil and David Hobbs said that everyone but Bob Varsha is moving on.

I wonder why?

That is everyone but Varsha. Posey was never one of the main people. His illness may be causing him to step down anyway.

Leigh Diffey, David Hobbs and Steve Matchett to make up NBC F1 broadcast team - Autoweek

I think SPEED wants Varsha to keep doing the Barrett-Jackson auctions.

Of course there may also be plans in place for a commentary team after the ALMS/Grand-Am merger in 2014.

I hate to see the entire team not moving, and hope that things "stay the same" with leaving Speed TV. They had a good thing going. I kept the last F1 race recap.... might have to watch it again.
