    The stewards have the ability to allow them to race anyway. They used that ability a couple times last year, you're right. However, HRT didn't race in Australia last year and they won't be racing in Australia this year.

    I imagine they're going to need some dramatic results to stick around much longer.

    My bad, on ITV vs Sky, I read enough UK F1 websites I should remember that Sky has it this year.

    So what happens for the races that BBC doesn't have the rights to broadcast live for? From what I have read they will do all the races, but many will be tape delay. Where Sky will have all live, but Sky is pay vs. BBC free to air in the UK.

    Long story short, what happens for us? We get BBC live before the UK does?

    I watched the sky feed and the show was pretty brutal. They had Hill, Brundle and Davidson but overall the delivery was horrible..

    BBC > ITV > SKY

    ITV was brutal.
    Whoever was doing commentary had no clue what was going on.
    That was more bush league than Speed.

    ^^ James Allen was doing commentary with Brundle on ITV. He is now the interviewer for the official press conferences. I thought he was great, much better than the first BBC dude and now this idiot from SKY.... And he certainly knows what he's talking about, been working F1 since 1990.

    Whats with the ITV stuff? F1 finished on ITV years ago, BBC sold pretty much all of the rights to SKY because they had budget cuts.

    Sky television will broadcast all practice and qualifying sessions and every race live on a dedicated pay TV Formula One channel in Britain, though the action will be broadcast in HD and without adverts.

    The 10 races shown live on BBC One and BBC HD will be: China (15 April), Spain (13 May), Monaco (27 May), Europe (24 June), Britain (8 July), Belgium (2 September), Singapore (23 September), Korea (14 October), Abu Dhabi (4 November) and Brazil (25 November). There will be extended highlights programmes on BBC One of the other 10, of either 90-minute or two-hour duration depending on the location of the race.

    Ben Edwards took over Martin Brundle's position and Brundle pissed off to Sky because they offered him mega bucks, 30 quid a month to watch F1 on Sky, pissed off a lot of F1 fans back in the UK.

    TSN had the BBC feed and I think it will be the BBC feed all season.

    Nice 2nd for Vettel! Was a bit worried about the RB8 when it was a 5-6 quali. Hamilton was looking like his normal douche self on the podium.

    Haha, Hamilton's grumpiness was almost as funny as Maldonado's last second realization of "Wait a second, I'm a Williams driver, I can't score points!".

    I love how they compared pedal travel to qualifying for Petrov.

    Got the live timing app for android this year, it is amazing! I found myself looking at the phone quite a few times during the race since the tv coverage on TSN was lacking (imo). No pre show coverage at all either, they tuned in just as the race was starting. Speed didnt even show the race live? I havent been paying enough attention, whats the best way to watch this year? Im on Shaw and I didnt see any coverage other than tsn.

    Speed shows the race live if you have US version of Speed. I flip between TSN and Speed US to minimize commercial time. This year I've also setup a 2nd TV for live timing using that app.

    Awesome app, shows tires, best sector times, gap and interval, purples... worked so well for everyone.
