Next year with F1 being on BBC will that mean we dont have to see Lewis' dad as much?

Well and truely fed up of having 30 minutes of each race dedicated to him

 

is that true? is F1 on the bbc? bless yer.
today i say 3 minutes of the race and 1 hour 40 of adverts. ridiculous. average an ad break every 3 minutes. joke coverage.

 

yeah it's back on the bbc from next year, hopefully they'll have learnt a lot from what ITV have done and will take a lot of the good parts and put them into practice without the breaks.

Lets just hope we dont have to put up with them missing races completly because they interfere with eastenders or shifting it across channels mid race etc.

Oh and hopefully they'll use the old theme tune too and not some crap 'modern' mix of it.

 

Hopefully. That tune IS Formula 1

Wait until Wimbledon is on

Or some golf then we won't get the Grand Prix at all.

Micky Finn will try to tell you otherwise, but I've been watching formula 1 for almost 30 years and there have been numerous occasions in the past when the BBC just didn't put the race on. ITV never missed a race. The adverts are **** like.

 

it's impossible to listen to that

without imagine the cars coming down the straight and a nice little pile up on the corner

 

I agree

I definetly remember races being missed because they clashed. With the digital services at least that shouldnt happen but i'll not be happy if they just shunt it on to bbc 3 to make way for the same boring events they show every year.

 

"The same boring events they show every year"

Like F1?

 

F1 has been on the BBC every year has it?

Not for the last decade it hasnt

 

RE: F1 has been on the BBC every year has it?

No but its the same boring event every year...

 

but not an event that dominates the BBC's scheduling every year like I said before you randomly made a comment about f1 being boring

 

Will you moan if it does dominate next year? nt

 

You're right, Jay, I will tell you otherwise.

I don't doubt the schedulers fecked about with channels for F1 (they're like that...and it's a PITA) but BBC Sport always showed the race. Not sure where you got that nugget of information from, but unfortunately it's just not true.

 

it's almost guaranteed that..................

the ones at strange times will be on-those clashing with important tennis or snowboarding will be on interactive-means you can't record it on Sky+

 

I can assure you that won't happen. nt

 

sport on BBC's shocking anyway. No doubt gary liniker will be hosting each race.

 

infact most of what the Beeb produces is ****. shame i cant get my tv license on pay as you watch. . . .

 

You're wrong

I get "that nugget of information" from being a F1 fan for 30 years. It happened many times. I've no idea why you want to argue it.

 

RE: You're wrong

If this is about interuptions in coverage of F1 when on BBC it happened many a time.

 

I know, all the time
