Now we should pick one each.

I'm going to the football now (come on you dons!) but we'll carry on later.

It seems from the sky Twitter responses that there is also a standard definition sky f1 channel. That wasn't clear from the PR.

Any news on the North American races repeat? I seems likely that they will be shown at about 10 o'clock. Also there is a small error in my earlier list of races, Bahrain will have 75 minute minute highlights at 5 o'clock.

Shanghai

Abu Dhabi

Sky is still overpriced, I'm not paying £5 to watch a race on TV. I'll either find a good stream or have to get used to crappy highlights while avoiding the results.

Abu Dhabi

Hockenheim

Already reserved that!

Already reserved that!

Oh yeah! Budapest

Right then, Barcelona.

BBC: Britain Monaco Spa Brazil Suzuka Singapore Shanghai Budapest

Valencia, Bahrain and Korea left. There's a surprise.

Korea.

 

[Jos the Boss]

Bahrain!

 

[gethinceri]

Boycott Bahrain!

 

[mjo]

That leaves Valencia with Sky. I suppose the BBC had an alright deal considering that two parties wanted the best races for their networks.

 

[Jos the Boss]

I know what BBC were thinking, Bahrain won't be on so we should pick Valencia, and I don't see why BBC just didn't get 10, Sky are getting them all
