Thats a shame. I have loved watching it on the BBC.

Will not be paying the extra to watch it on Sky.

Will just have to see if the Mclaren sign in woking is turned red when Jenson or Lewis win a race.

Think I ran past that, is it not far from Blackwater / Camberley?

Well its in Woking so not too far from Black water/Camberly.

Its outside the factory which makes the New Mclaren road cars. Get to see alot of them being road tested around here.

They have been turning the sign red when they win a race since Lewis won the championship.

Thats a shame as the past 2 years I've just started to get into the F1!, it's spot on with BBC. I do not have sky nor any intention of geting it., Yep, more about the money than the fans.  :sad1:

Wonder if they will do it in 3D too?

That would make a difference, but I still love the current line-up for commentary just as it is.
Golf R gone.

3D F1. That would be good. Imagine the camera shots they do from the kerbs.

Will think a car is coming in to your lounge at 180mph  :laugh:

Well that has well and truely ruined my day..  :sad1: I thought Mr Humphries and his crew did a cracking job tbh and the features they included actually made me watch the whole lead up to the race too. Rather than just park my arse on the settee at 12:58pm..

A sad sad day..  :sad1:

I echo above:(

I tune in to watch the BBC team and I love the fact there are no adverts. I will never pay the extra for sky sports as I just can't justify the cost just to watch f1. Truly gutted

The cynic in me doubts this will do anything but you never know.

Its an absolute travesty. Im so gutted about this. My favourite sport on TV and its been ruined. I have Sky, but i refuse to upgrade to Sky Sports just to watch the F1.

And who is going to just watch the BBC coverage to see half the season. You wouldn't watch 45 minutes of a football game.
I won't be watching next year.
