Only half the F1 races on BBC next year
Discussion
If you want to see all of them, then you need Sky Sports.
No doubt the Sky coverage will be worse, poorer pundits, ads etc. The BBC coverage will get worse too as no doubt Sky will poach Brundle etc.
I have Sky but don't like this move. There are certain things the BBC do well, F1 is one of them.
Viewing figures of F1 will plummet too.

Totally agree.....
Having 'that lot' running F1 will be a shambles. Will have all the quality and feel of The News of the World with 'experts' commentary from people who will not know s**t from clay!
If Brundle and the rest move over moves, they have sold their souls to the devil!
What does my licence fee pay for???? Another series of Total Wipeout?? Disgrace.
Sad sad day!

I'd rather it stayed on BBC, but if Sky have invested good money in this you can guarantee they will put on a good show. There wont be adverts during the races and they will employ the best possible people for the commentary and pre-race shows. There will also be good coverage around the practice sessions and probably preview shows before the weekend.
Complain about having to pay for Sky as much as you like, but they are excellent at packaging and presenting sport.

Jake however is banging on about how it is a positive thing.I think it's a rubbish idea.

Thay are being very coy about how they plan to show adverts during the race.
That really is very disappointing, I wouldn't pay for Sky, I don't think they offer any real value for money and as was earlier suggested - watching F1 for 20 weekends isn't enough to make me go for it either, it just means I shall miss out on a great sport.
It's all well and good Bernie and pals trying to make the sport more exciting to watch season on season but then to sell it to bloody Sky will just mean that it's instantly less accessible to watch in the first place. Very disappointing move. :-(
