2012 Formula 1 season

[EvanDavis]

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.

This has been known for ages, Sky are to launch their own 'Sky Sports F1 HD' channel.

On the subject of F1, have you seen the new front nose designs all but McLaren are running this year, looks most odd.....

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

Oh you see Sir I don't have a TV. Which I made clear to the relevant people. I am also aware you need a license if you have any thing that can record live T.V . A Computer, iPhone etc. To that I invited said robbers around to my house to inspect my computers to see if I had any software installed that could record live TV. I also made it clear to said people that there is no such thing as live TV. Everything has a delay. Have not heard from then since. That was some time ago. Actually you commented on the thread I started about it

Ahh well the licencing people came around yesterday whilst you were out, I expect you will hear from them later
