Good, really. I'd hate for another situation like there was in the 2003 cricket World Cup and Zimbabwe. |

This is what happens when you try to have these things in uncivilised countries. Ecclestone understands this though, which is why we have no French GP anymore. |

I'd sooner they cut sports than current affairs and anything else more serious that's the sort of thing you want a public broadcaster to be doing. Though I think they should just leave all sports to the commercial broadcasters really, trying to compete with them is a waste of money. |

Rumour has it that Sky have sounded Bernie out before and he's not interested at any price. Not out of the goodness of his heart but because large audiences matter to him. F1 is all about getting the sponsorship revenue in. Expect to see a deal cut with the BBC. A large audience is the most important thing for him. |

They're contracted for a few years aren't they, it's not a rolling year by year deal I don't think, but I'm not sure how many years past this one they've signed up for. This year it's actually getting transmitted in HD for the first time isn't it? |

Pretty much, but I think they do it so that there is a new app every year that costs £20. Basically the same thing. |

I am currently worried that this season will be as exciting as 2004 on the current performance gap to the front. I hope I'm wrong. It doesn't help that vettel can't stop himself from looking like a complete pennies when he wins, though |

But Mclaren were close, my only concern was that Red Bull was not using KERS. I dread to think how fast they will be in Malaysia |
