| Because of cost cutting requirements the BBC have given up on their last three years of Formula One TV.....what a disaster.
Excellent run programme with great commentators and analysis people......very informative......the writing was on the wall when they started to share it with SKY......legally still on terrestial TV because little Channel 4 will take over the BBC's last three years......but we know that they haven't the money to do it justice.....talk of SKY footing the bill......they are the scurge of terrestial TV having any live sport at all one day. |

| Not surprised. The coverage this year seemed very half hearted at best. |

Lewis Hamilton is also dull as ditch water and a cynical little so and so for becoming a tax exile at 13, or however old he was (must be at least 18 by now). Meaningless when he parades the union jack. I laughed when i heard him compared to Ayrton Senna, who transcended his sport and was a cultural icon. |
