Which ones have Ch4 got? Maybe we could start a separate WDC points tally for those?

And they should start 3 weeks earlier, spread them out a bit.

I don't think they divvy them up until a bit later in the season?

I'd like to see a pre-season race - take the previous years cars and have the 3rd drivers and a development driver and add the race on to the pre-season testing with say a €50 3 day pass... I'd go to Barcelona for that.

Just uploaded the image so its clearer for all to see.

France, Austria, GB will be 3 races in a row which is great for us F1 fans but probably quite demanding for the drivers and teams.

None? Isn't this the last year on Channel 4 getting live shows or even highlights?

I thought everything was going to Sky next year.

No more demanding than doing the Indy 500, then a week later having two races ( Sat & Sun ) in Detroit, then a week after that racing in Texas - if the US guys can do that I'm sure the F1 folk can manage

Thanks! A couple more years for Liberty Media to try and sort that mess out then.

China and Singapore haven't negotiated new deals so are provisional.

I wouldn't miss Singapore.

I wonder if Ecclestone was charged a high price by the F1 'Owners' (whatever they are now called) to host the 'new' French GP, a circuit Ecclestone owns?
