[QUOTE="F1Brits_90, post: 359586, member: 4479"] I fully agree with that [USER=1057]RasputinLives[/USER] it shouldn't, & id rather it didnt. but thats what the fans get for the teams taking the pay tv money. take other sports that sky sports cover, there is a reason why they have bigger coverage for ashes than v india or new Zealand, or a Manchester derby or Liverpool v man city than they do for sheff utd v Leicester. because they are the events that make sky sports's money back from advertisers & skyf1 need to find the audience to cover the £100m - £120m a year that works out at £5.5m a race which considering Premier league football the national sport is only £9.3m a game & per hrs of action its triple what sky pay for cricket. & as youll see at the bottom 30 yrs ago you could get 5 years of f1 for price that sky pay for Australia & Bahrain. so like boxing they need pretend there is a fight & that verstappen has a chance. which is possible but on Saturday we find out how realistic it is i believe sky have overestimated the viewing figures of F1 & in the Battle with BT. they paying too much. but back in free to air days they didnt need to pump it up because they will get the floating viewers the ones that would watch the races to take around 5m & upto 8.4m for 2008 Brazilian GP & because the price per race was fine. but im pretty sure if Schumacher era had been on sky sports. can montoya be the next south America hero & take the fight to Schumacher in 02. then can Next generation Alonso & Button deliver after a great 2003. put on a title challenge. but as i said they didnt need to because free to air guarantees great numbers just for a reference since 94 this the increase in the price per race for F1 in UK 94 - 96 BBC £140,000 (per race) 97 - 01 ITV £843,000 02 - 05 ITV £1m 06 - 08 ITV £1.47m 09 - 14 BBC £1.77m 12 - 18 Sky £1.73m BBC/C4 £1.5m (per live race) 19 - 24 Sky £5.5m [/QUOTE]
