so will it be on sky sports 1,2,3 or 4 ? or will it be pay per view like the big boxing fights ???

The commentators for F1 on our RTL7 channel are utterly idiots so I watched the races until 2009 on RTL+ Germany. After that I watched it all on BBC (and the German channel has been deleted) so this isn't good news at all.
Idiots.

I think it's SHITE sky sky sky it's a joke and I think
this will hurt F1 stick it back onto ITV

Don't really think anyone will miss being bored titless for 1 1/2 hours on a Sunday afternoon.
Hopefully they will ramp up coverage of the bikes and get BSB or WSB back on instead.
Proper racing.
Even the World Touring Cars is better racing.

Here we go again lineing Bernie,s pocket !!!!
No way will I join ,or pay for Sky,as here in the UK we pay far too much for Sky.The Dutch pay much less than we do !
As you guys say either freeview BBC or ITV,viewers will decline,and then advertisers,will maybe withdraw sponsership .

[john foster]

Where's the Monopolies Commission when you need them

[taffr]

just as it all started to come together, BOOM!!!!! bernie sets another granade off in F1, i stopped watching the parade races a few years ago, but this year together with the BBC1's presenting team and the racing worth watching again i've got back into it, i'm not a fan of sky so i'll be giving it a miss, shame really

[grum]

owh, and the other rant about F1 is why all the emerging markets [where F1 "needs" to go] never have hardly any speccies watching the races cos the tickets are too dear !!!!!!

Silverstone is ALWAYS sold out yet places in the far east must only sell a 1/4 of tickets going by the empty seats come qualifying and race day

[Colliery Playboy]

Love F1 but I refuse to pay for Sky. Never agreed with paying monthly then having to pay to watch the boxing. Least we still got Moto gp......for now

[ORDAV]

stopped sky sports years as i don,t like football ,if its another tenner a month for skysports would pay for it as the red button on sky sports the last time they tried it was brilliant if it pay per view hope its a pound a race
