I would imagine that Speedvision is covering all the races live, as they did last year. I haven't seen any press to that effect though.

I don't know anything about TV coverage, but the Aussie GP does have an interesting site to explore.

Check out this link. I don't think we'll be able to watch it. Bernie is being a greedy pig.

This is outrageous. I can't believe that they won't sign a deal with Speedvision. No network is going to do a deal this late.

No new news this morning as far as I can tell. I bet you we miss the Australian GP, one of the BAR or Jordan teams comes away with a miraculous victory, then Bernie and Speedvision work out a deal for the rest of the season and Ferrari and Mercedes dominate the rest of the year.

This is ridiculous!!! Bernie needs to start treating the US with some respect. He always carps that there is insufficient interest in F1 in the US. Well, pulling stunts like this is not going to increase US interest in F1. For the past couple of years, I personally have been watching F1 not for its competition but because it is F1. I suppose that's about to stop.
