Amazing. Great work Leunam and everyone else involved. Looks amazing, epic start to hopefully an epic season.
Great OP. Im coming into this season not really knowing much about the broadcasting rights. What does it mean for us Brits without Sky?

20:00 - The F1 Show: 173k
* peak: 207k
Is 200k good? Seems low to me.
I wouldn't be surprised if BBC highlights beat SKY full races.
We can only hope the sky shows bomb and the sponsors throw a hissy fit about the shitty ratings.
Its a virtual certainty as Sky Sports has less than 5% TV market share for 5 channels with Sky Sports 1 at 1.7%.I think that's pretty much guaranteed.
It is low. Although there isn't anything really to compare it to is there? How many F1 preview shows are there shown in the UK?
Very low compared to BBC races & qualifying though - they got millions of viewers
EDIT: Some races were getting over 6 million viewers - so we'll have to wait until races start to get a real comparison, my guess is they will be pathetic compared to BBC figures
I'm not vindictive enough to want SkyF1 to fail, because I like the idea of it. I'm just bitter that a deal couldn't be struck to keep all the races on BBC live (because watching something live is so much better than watching it delayed, for a number of reasons) instead of only half.
Sky could've offered the F1 as a one-off subscription channel so I could simply buy the basic Sky package and then add on the F1 channel on top. But instead you have to pay for the Sports package to get it, which includes channels that I would barely watch. F1Fanatic worked out that the cheapest price for someone without Sky to get F1 would be £363 per year. I just can't justify paying for that, especially with my situation at the moment.
The changes to the 2012 Regulations have been approved by the Formula One Commission.
One set of dry-weather tyres may now be carried over to Saturday if both Friday sessions are declared wet; it is hoped that this will result in teams carrying out more laps on Saturday.
Changes have been made to the personnel curfew to ensure the rest periods remain constant throughout the season, irrespective of the timing of practice sessions at particular events.
The race director may now prohibit the use of the adjustable rear wing (DRS) if he feels visibility is too poor in wet conditions. This has been done as a result of safety concerns over large speed differentials between cars.
Why do you hate plain text?
Based on mathematical formula of post count x quality of post, Leunam can have my 2nd Sky Go user slot. PM for the details.
Awesome thread, but I'm never going to read that giant wall of text
Nice OP, but I hate the text images, ctrl+f no worky.
Plus I use the Pro Dark style so it's black text on dark grey background.
=O
Needs more info on this pic ! xD
Is it really only two weeks until Melbourne???
Wow, for some reason I thought the race was three weeks away.No, it's 1 week.
Amazing. Great work Leunam and everyone else involved. Looks amazing, epic start to hopefully an epic season.
Indeed.It means we have been grandly fucked over.
Or pay this guy-
A good chunk of money just to watch the rest of the races.
Webber a Chelsea fan? God damn it.
His a Man United fan, was at the Chelsea - Man United game which ended in 3-3.
I'm sure somebody has already GIFed that, but here's mine just in case...
Even worse.His a Man United fan, was at the Chelsea - Man United game which ended in 3-3.
That is even worse.
Even worse.
Ok, I have done some digging and can legally watch all GPs for £175 (except Bahrain – if you want to watch the snoozefest, add £35) , which is much less than Keith’s estimate of £363.
Drawbacks: you have to be able to stream it through your internet.
Here’s how you do it:

September 8th * You’ll miss Monza FP 1&2, but then get two GPs for £35 this month

I have been quizzing Sky today about what you need to do for it – you only need a sky login (free, just sign up). No subscription. No additional costs.
Indeed.
£360 a year to be exact.
The sad thing with the Sky deal is that it'll now forever be on Sky, and I'm sure the BBC will be gradually downscale it further each year.
Came across this, thought people might be interested:

You can still have two devices per account, so you can share the account and cost between two people if you want.
