F1 on TV this year?
Discussion
When the Sky coverage started in 2012 there were quite a few posts about "alternative" ways and means of watching live F1 in the UK - including the linking to other web sites.
All of those links were closed by the mods - and they have good reasons to do so.
Haymarket are a big player in the world of motorsport journalism in the UK and enjoy the usual F1 access that media outlets get as part of their coverage of the sport. They would be in serious financial trouble if the powers that be at F1 decided that one of their websites was providing access to "unapproved" ways of viewing F1 and consequently decided to "punnish" Haymarket.

your internet provider provides access, a link is just a signpost. a link to an illegal website is as illegal as signpost to a bank, or telling someone where you could steal mars bars from.All of those links were closed by the mods - and they have good reasons to do so.

The BBC are probably pulling in almost as many viewers as they did BEFORE they pulled out of live coverage of all the GPs. So - from a pure economic sense, they've actually pulled a stroke of genius.
Decent TV audiences for minimal outlay.
I wonder how well the investment is paying off for Sky?
The highlights package on the BBC is pulling in big figures, so financially it's been a pretty sound decision. In fact the highlights alone are pretty much making up the shortfall when there are Sky-only live races.Decent TV audiences for minimal outlay.

Sky figures are only going one way now they've built in the Sky Sports package requirement in my opinion.
In terms of investment, impossible to tell really. The rights cost alone is about £1m per race for Sky (compared to £6m per Premiership football match!), just under a million people normally watch an F1 race live on Sky, amazingly (given the cost) the average for Premiership football isn't that much higher, but obviously that's traditionally been a huge draw in terms of getting people signed up to Sky packages.
