I am a huge Formula 1 fan, have been for years, but after reading rule changes etc for 2012 I am a bit miffed. Seems now the broadcasting will be shared between Sky and BBC.

We all love Rupert Murdoch, he's a smashing bloke. He owned the News Of The World.

 
Don Van Vliet 1941 - 2010. And the acid gold bar swirled up and down, up and down.

F1 has lost it's edge over the last few years.
Anyone see Hammonds bit on TopGear about Indy Cars, thinking he has a point!

Yeah I watched that last night. I like the bit about the NASCAR not using tech like F1. Drivers relay how the car works to the engineers how they felt it threw their ar*e's

This is the Williams, but they're all much the same bar McLaren who looks almost the same as last year.

That front end looks good. And yu would think with all the money Lewis has made he would be able to afford some razor blades. Or is it his turn to join the silly beard brigade this year. I'm sure that fluff is worth a few grams in weight.

Does this new agreement mean I will only get to see half the races live on the BBC from 2013
