    So who will be watching F1 this year as it looks like its going to be a closer season than the past few years and we are only into the second day of the season and already mercedes are being accused of cheating

    I'm a F1 addict and yes I had to upgrade to the sports channels to watch it.The BBC and ITV have no chance against SKY F1. The technical information and coverage is mindblowingly good.Anthony Davidson gives us alot of information on his touch screen tv regarding driver input like where the drivers eyes are focusing on driver errors, driver styles and car positioning.I hate paying Murdoch but the Sky F1 guys and girls are doing a fantastic job well worth paying for.

    I don't mind anyone on the podium apart from that Vettel with his number one finger.How irritating.

    I have been a life long F1 fan, indeed I have been to Silverstone eight times in the past. However, I do not have Sky and I'm not happy about F1 not being on free to air! Its in my DNA so I will try to follow it and I will not play the fat cat game and subscribe to Rupert's empire?

    I know im cutting off my nose to spite my face!

    I LOVE F1. I just watched quali on the BBC and the racing looks great for this year but the comentary and "highlight" nature of the BBC is SHIT. The new "commentator" Ben someone is a complete cheeseball who sounds like he belongs on a DFS ad...

    Soooo disappointed with the shit turned out by the enforced purchase of the BBC. At least sky is an optional payment for what you want.

    Nope, fraid not, if i lived very near to the track like my brother in Melbourne i would probably have a look, but as for watching it on TV? Nahhh, i've got some old BSB DVD's somewhere, or one of the many Fast Bikes Mag videos to watch.

    Maybe I am going to watch after I know who won the race. I don't like to watch a boring season again.

    I love F1, really pissed off with the BBC coverage, but the minimum deal to watch it on Sky is about £32 a month. I will be watching on BBC , so PLEEEEEZ " DO NOT POST RACE OR QUALI RESULTS IN YOUR POST TITLES" !!!! Thankyou :)

    Not sure if this is the forum rules Megs? Maybe a good idea for mods to put it in if not.
    The title perhaps should say for example "Moto GP results spoiler"
    then followed by

    .
    .

    And then the result?
