BBC to immediately cease it's F1 coverage....

It'll be ironic if one of the sports competitors is voted UK Sports Personality Of The Year in 2016.

Disappointing news for me as we're not all devout footie fans!

No disappointment to me, although it's a shame 'The Voice' wasn't included.

apparently , according to the news, it has been split between BBC & SKY this year ( season ); however BBC have been forced into making cutbacks and the Sports budget had to take its share. From now on, Channel 4 will show 10 races live and I guess the rest go to SKY on a pay to view basis ( or with the SKY sports package ).....with the highlights being shown, after the event, by somebody ( Channel 4 I guess ).........I'll be watching.

I'll still be watching but the advert breaks will be a real pain in the neck just as they were when ITV screened it for a few years.

MMMmmmm........" Vicious Vixens " & " Wives with Knives "........I think I'd prefer my chances tearing around a Track at 200 MPH + , one inch from a Brick Wall.

There won't be ads during the race - part of the contract terms
