I really hope they try PAY AND GO for a race to see what back feed they have 000 I would NEVER EVER pay to watch F1 as there is more team rules under passing and all the rest I think free viewing is the best option for this sport same as the rest of the sports as they are all bent in some way to much to loose be it a driver or what ever there will always be a way round the rules

Really, arguments like this…. the only thing that will solve them is the passage of time and the implementation of new technology. We’ll probably all be watching this and everything else on a giant (tidal?) Google Wave in a few year’s time

First of all, thanks for showing my comment, love your blog!

Secondly, you are right about one thing: paid TV provides better servicen than the free one. I’m speeking about Portugal, of course!

In the last few years of F1 coverage by RTP, only on two occasions they showed the Press Conference after the Race (Tiago Monteiro’s podium in USA 2005 and Schumacher’s retirement on the Italian GP 2006).

And they never showed the Practice Sessions!

Oh yes and does anyone remember that thing called Rallying – do you remember the whole Sunday watching the RAC rally – all I saw of it this year was a sign saying “City Centre Road Closures due to Rally” as I drove into Cardiff to work.
