    Yes, excellent news:) :)
    Looks like the BBC have finally woken up to the increase in popularity of F1 and have come up with a package to keep Bernie happy.

    Absolutely SUPERB news.

    the add breaks were a complete pain in the backside and I am getting back into F1 after years of hating the "follow me" type of racing.

    Good on them and thats at least something my licence fee is going towards that I actually want. :o

    I'm a bit sceptical.

    The BBC coverage as far as I can remember was shocking.
    I'm sure they went over to the race 5 mins before the start and 10 Mins after the end they were back covering other sports. Qualifying was only the highlights or snippets in the news.

    Thought ITV are doing a good job except for the add breaks.
    But yes bring back The Chain and Murray.

    The BBC really needs a Sports Channel, for all this sports coverage.

    The 6 Nations a few weeks ago meant 1 day had 3 games fully covered on the Saturday, and with the F1 on the Sunday for a few of those weekends, its wall to wall sport.

    I've no problems with that kind of coverage, however, not everyone would like that level of sport.

    I just wish they had spent a fraction of what they've paid for the Scottish football Internationals though.
