But Everybody's not happy Bernie, he's deluding himself if he think's everybody's happy. I'm subscribing to Sky Go and hopefully get F1 this year. Watching a ten race championship on the BBC doesn't interest me, stick around for the anti climax viewers, ten races whoaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!
drop the useless historic drama programs which cost a fortune to make and pump that money back into F1 on the bbc, i only turn on my tv to watch F1 and top gear so tbh my tv licence is mostly going to other people's shitting programs that i couldnt care less about :/
Also remember BBC sold part of F1 rights a year early, to pocket some extra cash (they had full exclusivity through 2012 but sold out) partly to clear the airspace for the force feeding of the CUNTING Olympic BOLLOCKS. That CUNTING little SHIT WANKER seb coe has been hard selling to the government. The olympics is outdated boring CUNT SHIT that has to Rob the taxpayer to survive. There would be outcry if F1 was taxpayer funded would there not ????.
why is everyone having a go at sky? its the bbc who jumped into bed with them. channel 4 actually had a better stand alone bid than sky,but the bbc backed sky to the tune of £15M per season which swung the decision sky/bbc way. so when you hear jake saying we got the best deal for fans hes talking bollocks. if bbc had pulled out, the rights would have went to channel 4 and the last time i checked they were a free to air channel.
So... Barbara Slater, is it true that you are to blame for F1 not being on free to air for the first time in over THREE DECADES?
If the BBC couldnt afford F1 then let ITV or Channel4 have it because they wanted it.
Wow, you guys really dropped the ball on this one. Now that the evil corporation that is SKY have got their claws into it, it will NEVER be the same.
this is what happened to football. since sky footballs now a business thanks to Rupert Murdoch and his shit stirring assets in his opinionated company
@paulthepill couldn't agree more! if i had my way Sky wouldn't even be operating, let alone ruining the fans appetite for free to air F1 coverage! Fuck Sky and Fuck Bernie Ecclestone!
"We couldn't ask for better coverage than the BBC." (i.e. but I want more money for it) Oh fuck off Bernie. The sooner someone replaces you as head of FOM, the better.
Bernie, you fukin greedy little cunt, like father like daughter, money is your fall down, fuck off and die you wrinkly old cunt and leave F1 where it belongs, Sky was ruined by Murdoch's greed along with his disgusting egotistical son, and so will they ruin F1 given the chance.
@KillTheBlairs he'll be dead soon he's like 190 then we can return to the good f1 we had in earlier years , he has ruined the sport. sorry but it has to be said
lols if you want to save money, dont show footage of cricket, darts, tennis etc the popular sports on tv are f1, rugby, football and olympics. my opnion anyway!!
well i hate sky but the postive is that we still get every race and if it was the early morning races we miss fair enough but still! however we got all the great races live us fans wo't give out to sky we will carry on watching f1 on the bbc!
I personally rather never see another F1 race again in my whole life than have to pay Rupert Murdoch and the SKY corporation a single pube to whatch something i have seen for free my whole life. fuck you sky fuck you bbc fuck you sky fuck you bbc fuck you sky fuck you bbc fuck you sky fuck you bbc fuck you sky fuck you bbc fuck you sky fuck you bbc fuck you sky fuck you bbc fuck you sky fuck you bbc fuck you sky fuck you bbc fuck you sky fuck you bbc
not watch any races next year real f1 fans should watch the v8 supercars next year on you tube and let's see how many british sponsors are on the cars in 2013 hit bernie where it hurts, not paying criminals to watch f1
Bernie can bugger up a new circuit in America, He can charge more to host the race! 'Fair enough in our eyes' But making us pay for sky sports F1 is an outrage!!!
fuck sky, and bernie thanks for making f1 fans now have to pay out at least £40 a month just to watch a sport we love! u not aware of the recession u little dwarf!
Bernie you greedy little dwarf, well done for screwing F1. You are shitting a very great height on to the British fans who helped create, develop, promote and maximise F1, just so as your disgustingly greedy little daughter can build and fill another shoe wardrobe.
God this is annoying, Sky is getting a good team together now but on principle I think it's best that F1 fans unite and avoid Sky if possible. I don't blame Brundle, Croft, Kravitz etc going as they just want to cover all the races, but a shame nonetheless. Pirate broadcasting awaits...
BBC, get rid of fucking horse racing and save F1. I will be watching on Sky next year but whenever BBC are showing a race live there is no doubt I will be watching on channel 101 #Saynotosky
We aren't going to get a better presenting team for F1 than the current team @ the BBC. Jake Humphrey, EJ, DC, MB Lee McKenzie and Ted Kravitz make an excellent team. Will we see fun interviews and challenges between the presenters and drivers on Sky (like the truck chalenge)? I very much doubt it! And who is going to get pit lane info like Ted? Lee McKenzie asks the right questions, gets info the viewers want to hear. Has Bernie Ecclestone not heard of the phrase IF IT AIN'T BROKE DON'T FIX IT!
F1 should be a priority to keep unlike all the other rubbish the BBC produce. I can't afford to get sky so there's no way I can watch F1 now except a few events enless it will be posted online.
THE BBC were regularly getting 10 million viewers for race days. SKY dont even have 10 million subscribers never mind what percentage of that subscribe to sky sports. Sponsors of the F1 teams will not be happy at all about this deal when you consider 90 per cent of the teams are based in britain RIP formula 1 enjoy the extra money you get bernie even though your a billionaire anyway!
typical of the bbc these days also mr ecclestone is obviously not bothered about it or about the fans who cant afford or cant get sky.i will refuse to watch next year.its a shame but if everyone followed suit it would make it a poor deal for sky.
Biased and misleading coverage from the BBC. No mention that they blocked a bid from Channel 4, which would have ensured F1 remained on free-to-air TV. But always fun to see Ecclestone blithely stating black is white. Must watch again to see if he has his fingers crossed behind his back.
This is a crock of shit... I doesn't affect me.. I don't live in Europe.. But to see Bernie pretty much fuck all the Fans like that... man, what a greedy old stupid man....
@kingiam91 You mean the ENTIRE BBC TV Studio?! I don't think it SHOULD be shut down, that would just be silly. I would wait until every sport is not shown live on BBC first.
@mclarenguy22 Ofcourse, apart from big events, what sports do they show? the BBC are insisting that they've done a great job to keep wimbledon, grand national, olympics - there once every 1&4years. But ignore sport for a min, what is watchable on BBC? i like some of BBC 4 music stuff, on 2/3hrs a week, that's it. But the main disgrace with this is how sneaky the deal was done, without anyones opinion, and now total censorship when anyone brings up this subject!
@kingiam91 I can see your point, now. It's definitely a lot more exciting to have sport that happens way more than once in one year. However, BBC still shouldn't be shut down, otherwise everyone who worked there will LOSE THEIR JOBS! Period.
@mclarenguy22 including you, what department do you work in? =P
Yes, we don't want people to lose their jobs, BUT, it's not a charity and license payers are paying for a service, you shouldnt pay for something if you dont get it.
I will miss the BBC coverage dearly. Hate the fact that some people think fans are just too lazy to go over to Sky. I would LOVE to be able to pay for the Sports package. Watching F1 is something my family have done for many years, it's what we all do together and enjoy doing so. However there's no chance we can afford to loose £20+ a month, so we're stuck with the left-overs next year instead. *sigh* Now to enjoy the rest of the season. starting with Spa tomorrow!
Bernie "we don't want to lose the beeb"...no you don't do you, you want them to have token highlights so you don't break the concorde agreement, fleece the British public and fluff Murdoch, you utter bastard.
what a load of shit, apart from the Olympics, i dont watch any of them other shit sports,( tennis, horse racing and golf) come on for fuck sake. F1 is the 3rd highest watched event on the planet, surely that brings the people together in a bigger way! WANKERS
f1 is the only thing that is worth watching ,,,,,so now we are stuck whith total and utter crap like eastenders and crap like that ,,well ok if that is the way it is bbc get rid of the tv licence ,,,,,we are being forced to pay for it ,,,,,and all that you are giving us is nothing but crap ,,,,,,GET RID OF THE TV LICENCE
Well at least the adverts on the cars will be cheaper after losing millions of viewers....I might be able to advertise my small business for a few quid....
stupid bint who runs bbc sport is the kind of person who probably knows fuck all about f1 and motorracing and thinks its all "a bit dangerous" and is the reason why they keep all the other awfull sports they show. and you can tell she is the kind of driver that sits in the outside lane of the motorway going 50.
