    I paid for a coffee once, but that's about it. Certainly F1 is free to air so far.

    I don't think there's any cricket on the BBC now. Sky probably has the matches live with highlights on Channel 5.

    Cheers.

    Nowadays we get more free EPL football than the UK! Been doing the internet for cricket last few years along with the Beeb's F1 coverage. Probably just go to the "Bernie" website when the Beeb goes, then read Autosport.com.

    To be honest, considering the absurd cost of the sports package, I think F1 ratings will drop considerably. Bad for sponsors right?

    I just hope this whole thing will not go through in the end. I hope my internet by the time this thing will happen will be quick enough so I can stream from the internet and listen to 5live radio :).

    Hey,

    I have no idea if the petitions helped, but the politicos are "on the case". From autosport (edited);

    I'm pretty sure the Evil Pygmy hasn't met a contract he doesn't "like".....

    Cheers,
    Ian

    Thanks for the update Ian.

    It is a raw deal for the fans, sky subscribers or not, and just maybe we have been heard.

    Ermm well I need to watch it live, if I'm watching it, besides I can't post in the race thread if not.

    Thanks for update again Ian.
