ps nascar is not racing tear arsin around a banked track is for hamster
i have been forced to pay rupert murdocs fee for sky ||||||| well no @#$% way you can after 50 years of watching the f1 when ever i could ill finally start fishing
just pure greed from eccleston, its about time he went and played with spiders, !!! i am sure you all know what i mean by that?
Good old days? That would be Fangio, Von Tripps, Hill, Clark, Moss... now it's all just aerospace on wheels. Just be glad you don't live in that States, where they somehow insanely beleive NASCAR is "real" racing. F1 on TV? In the USA??? Yeah right.
as a life long supporter of fi i am afraid that as usual greed has overtaken common sense as far a fi is concerned. sky will soon stop the old enthusiasts who can no longer afford their fees from veiwing live and i am afraid it will go the same way as cricket.
well bernie havent you done well!!!!!!!
So what the hell was wrong with showing F1 on the good old BBC ? It's all about squeezing every last penny out of the British public. RIP OFF Britain & TAXED to the very core - bet we'll soon have to pay tax on new born babies, mark my words it'll happen. I'm not paying £40 a month to Sky for the priviledge to watch my favourite sport, I'll buy other means to watch it cos you ain't getting another penny out of me.
I think it is disgusting that F1 have gone over to Sky.
As for giving a better service than the BBC, I very much
doubt it.
I hope you can sleep at night Bernie!!!
Petrol Head.
with all the money going around Murdoch must have given a nice back hander for F1 going to sky
Think of all the people who havent got sky. bbc will show hilights , but when you know the resolts its not the same.
As for someone saying it will be better on sky - perhaps he can afford it .I and many more like me CANT.
I suppose Bernie Ecc `` made a nice bundle from it .
A sad day for F1 !!!!!
I'm glad F1 has gone to Sky.
They do everything better when it comes to sport.
Football is better
Cricket is better
Rugby is better
Tennis is better
and now F1 will be better on it's OWN DEDICATED CHANNEL.
No commercial breaks during races and the best parts of BBC's team all joining the fun.
Lord of Time,
Its a team sport, you wouldn't expect a footballer to be penalised for passing the ball?
The car is being lapped therefore not actually racing for position, why should the lead car be penalised because of a slow car?
The 107% rule is there to stop excessively slow cars being a hazard and causing accidents.
Would you also like to see the cars swapped about aswell? perhaps they could pull them out of a hat and you could end up with Button driving for Force India in a Ferrari.
maybe they could just put the finishing positions in a hat and have the drivers pulling out their final race positions. That way you could have Pastor Maldonado driving for Force india winning with their Ferrari while sat in the driver's brief playing Alonso at darts on the Wii
Weight distribution, will they be able to comply with the rules when under braking and acceleration?
New rear wing rules. 107% rules. Rules,rules,rules. The best thing is that I will not be subscribing to Mr Murdoch's pyramid money making scheme and therefore it won't affect me. I shall be left with my glorious memories of Peterson, Hill,Hunt,Regazzoni,Senna,Mansell,Button and Alonso as I saw them both on the telly and at the track. Sky failed us all miserably once,why it thinks this time will be any different God only knows.We all know that in the world of commercial TV it is the advertisers who call the tune and we all remember ITV's disaterous commercial breaks. Just remeber that Sky run adverts in 10 minute blocks!!!
F1 is great because if you are really into the races you should go and watch them from the stands if you can afford it but Vettel is not going to make history because the team are putting everything new on Vettel's car and not given Mark Webber a turn to test the pieces out from his point of view!
whatch a real motor sport NASCAR and Indycar all free to watch on the web
Is it true that the rear wings are going to be baned and replaced with a sky dish
why dont the bbc and itv go half's and keep us f1 fans sky free and happy its not rocket science people sort it out before you end up loosing fans
Two points:- 1 F1 should be state of the art technology no question. and 2 I will NOT !!! pay Murdoch to watch F1
we dont want sky I have not got it and dont want it never hav and never will. Keep F1 on BBC
we shuld not have to pay for F1 or other sport
So where are this year's rules? (and I kinda mean here, not at fia's site) . . . maybe I should check Road & Track
i agree with daddady36 the bbc are a bunch or numptys save money my a*** the boss is paid too much
