F1 deal makes me sick

I don’t know who came up with this idea, but it is ridiculous.

This morning, BBC and Sky teamed up in a deal to both show F1 with Sky getting all the races and the BBC getting only 10.

I am really struggling here to put this in words. Say I want to keep watching F1 on the Beeb, I will now have to buy Sky just to watch 10 races that the BBC aren’t showing! I would have much preferred Sky having every race and then I know what I’ll be getting.

And just what will we be getting with Sky?

If you look at their football coverage, it seems we will get the following:

  • ADVERTS
  • SUPER DUPER FORD SUPER WANKY SUNDAY FORMULA ONE
  • CRAP COMMENTATORS
  • STUDIO ANALYSIS
  • POINTLESS SLOW MOTION FOOTAGE
  • RUBBISH ANALYSIS
  • ADVERTS
  • BRITISH IMPARTIALITY (ahem)

I would rather they gave the bloody thing back to ITV. I would rather James Allen was back commentating on his own. I would rather he was commentating while wanking himself into oblivion as he shouts over and over “Lewis Hamilton, Lewis Hamilton, OOOOOHHH.”.

I am not happy.

Oh and there’s a race this weekend. Meh.
