Default The Formula 1 Thread - 2012

It seems that Sky is making their F1 channel available for Sky Sports subscribers or HD subscribers.

Not too bad. I've just upgraded to HD for a tenner a month and got a £100 M&S voucher which will be useful for the christmas shopping. So in reality only costing me an extra £20 for the year and I get a free upgrade to me 6 year old Sky+ box

I'd still rather it was on BBC all year but there's nothing we can do about that.

Kimi joins Renault.

So the coolest and laziest F1 driver is back for next year. Albeit in an unproven team.

Should be interesting

No news as yet as to whether Sky will be offering the F1 channel to Virgin Media.

Kimi back to F1 is good news for the racing, bad news for interviews with F1 drivers.

He has to be the most unenthusiastic interviewee ever.

This page is where to find out about whether it'll be available on Virgin Media

We always want to give you the best TV line up, so we’re talking to Sky about acquiring this channel.

The new Formula 1 season doesn’t kick off until March next year, so there’s a while before the action starts up. We’ll be updating this page as soon as we have more information for you, so check back here for the latest news.

Yes he is which is a shame.
But then I read a rumour (probably not true as I read it online), saying that the BBC and Sky would share the same commentary team. I'd like to see that, but it would never happen and if that was the case why would Brundle leave the BBC for Sky then

If ever there was a Gerald Ratner moment....

That's a shock. And I guess it means no place for Senna, and also no place for Kubica should he be fit enough to race.
