What would the BBC know about F1, they sold out to channel 4.

 

[RasputinLives]

They still broadcast every race on BBC 5 Live radio though.

Titch It was the bosses namely that .... named Barbara Slater that decided BBC could not afford to show F1 and sold it off gradually to SKY and C4

They still have a team of journalists going to every race

4 legendary teams in the bottom 5 (excusing Renault being 1st year back and buying Enstone late) I think that says a lot about the management

I think some people have been generous with Haas and ignored their late season struggles with brakes and being too harsh on Toro Rosso who not only lost Verstappen but had a year old Ferrari engine which was not developed later on
