F1 goes Home to BBC (UPDATED)
The BBC have announced a 5 year deal to show the Formula 1 show on the BBC.
The deal that starts next year, and give the fans what their crying out for, F1 without the bad timed adverts.
The Beeb also get the right’s for online broadcasting and keep their radio licence as well, so all bases covered.
Bernie had this to say about the deal, “I think it will be good, a fresh face. I’m not complaining about ITV, I’m not saying they did a bad job or anything like that. But with all the other things they are loaded up with - and who knows they will get some more stuff - maybe it will be a bit more difficult to spend as much time on us. I think the BBC will do that.”
