    In Massa I cannot believe the backward thinking in trying to tempt a driver who is/was past his best and made a very public retirement out of retirement.

    I believe the fact that their Martini...

    I still have it thrown in with my HD package too. I certainly wouldn't pay extra for it, with regret.

    Interesting that they have snapped up Chandok and Senna from their occasional roles on Sky, which means Sky will be needing replacements for when Ant Davidson is off WEC'ing. That is a good line up...

    I have noted the total lack of anything on Channel Ten/One/11 regarding F1 coverage too, especially seeing as the Australian GP is only three weeks away now. But equally, I would be surprised if...

    Channel 4 are airing the first race, and Monaco - just not live and just as the BBC did last year, and the year before.

    Daily Mail are reporting that F1 has "gone to ITV" too, but no word from the BBC yet and it would appear the specialist press is waiting for that. Let us not lose sight of the fact that ITV gave up...

    Actually, on this rare occasion Bernie is not so very wrong. It is a bit like someone going to a job interview for a job they have no intention of getting, but need to go to claim their benefits.

    We all know that contracts aren't really worth the paper they are printed on half the time. The BBC had exclusive live rights for five years but effectively bailed after three. Whilst, yes, they...

    The sun never really rose over the horizon for Ferrari though, did it? They have looked average from the very first test.

    Re: BBC saving money

    I did say "as such" and did say that F1 would probably end up on Foxtel one day in the future.

    But in terms of contracts, Sky getting exclusive rights in the UK it is a separate company, even if...

    Seems a good idea, wet people's appetite by showing qualifying on Sky 1. They have started to show some Football on there too.
