"No Monaco, Canada, Japan or Brazil. Makes you wonder how the ten races were picked. Did they pull them out of a hat?

I totally dont understand why F1 is not live streaming their own races for a reasonable fee.

By the way, the moderator over at crash, Richard Gilgen, would remove my comment or ban me for saying this, but I think Hamilton will win the title again in 2016.

"Sky Sports already made better coverage than BBC. Will be hard to CH4 to be better than Sky. Especially with Coulthard."
