Formula1 2016

Channel 4 has taken over the terrestrial viewing for Formula 1 after BBC opted out of the contract.

I love F1 and am a bit dubious as to how successful this will be. However they have stated there will be no adverts during race time (thank god)

Yesterday they officially revealed the presenting team......

David Coulthard, Mark Webber, Alain Prost, Alex Zanardi, Susie Wolff, Karun Chandhok, Eddie Jordan and Bruno Senna; alongside seasoned live presenters and journalists Steve Jones, Ben Edwards and Lee McKenzie.

It also says Guy Martin will be making appearances

It'll be an exciting season for sure.

According to this list it's just the highlights of the first race on the 20th March?

Anyway...whether on Sky or Ch4 we now have a F1 thread....saves posting in the virtual lounge and spoiling it for others...Just avoid this thread on race days if you have to record it......

Says it all doesn't it ?

"For us at Mercedes it was not a compelling idea. So it was better to accept the other proposal......................"

Obviously Bernie was going to force a change so they went for the lesser evil.

I've said it before.......F1 has no chance of regaining its lost following until Bernie goes.

Awful little man......reminds me of someone else who used to strut about ...throwing his 'weight' around.....during WW2
