That's a cool idea. They do that for football (soccer) games in the UK and it's pretty neat. Definitely a good way to get more kids (incl younger generation) involved/excited in the sport.

I enjoyed the general jeg of "is this about chicks, or is this about racing?" I think anything that reduces the amount of sexism, even perceived sexism, makes the sport look better.

Liberty Media + FIA = joke, a bad one at that.

OMG!!

You guys don't know just how damn lucky us in the US just became when it comes to F1 coverage.

Well, I really wondered but didn't believe this would happen.

Since Disney owns both SkySports and ESPN, I wondered when F1 split with FOX in the US and contracted with ESPN to broadcast the races, if the SkySports team would somehow be mixed with the USA team, whomever that may be ('cause ESPN doesn't have crap for F1 pundits now).

It looks like we are going to get the SkySports feed here in the US now.

This is great because the US fans will finally, for the first time in history, get an F1 broadcasting team doesn't consider the US audience as if they've never watched a car race before.

Not that I didn't like Matchett, Hobbs, and Varsha (notice I did not mention the squeaky-voiced Diffy), but the coverage just sucked)

So we are going to get SkySports through ESPN and/or Fox Sports?

BTW, beware before anyone clicks on the link. Either my computer has a malware or there is something wrong with your link because it takes me to realtor.com and other links that get blocked as not trustworthy (tried three times and three different links other than espn.com). Maybe a spyware somewhere.

Actually, it was even more than that. But it should be fixed now. Here it is again
