First it was just a rumor now has it been officially confirmed sky. You consider taking the Formula One from the program.
Since the beginning of the year makes the rumor that his long-time sky coverage of Formula One at the end of the set, because the contract with Ecclestone expires in late 2010. The reasons are varied. The station continues to save hochdefizitär and must in every nook and cranny. Bernie Ecclestone sold the rights to the FOM, but not at a knockdown price, especially not when Vettel and Schumacher, Mercedes and other German contender win a lot of traveling on the road. 2007, during the last rounds of the TV rights, the FOM has reportedly agreed to a freeze on license fees grudgingly, but the 2010 will be different. Not only because of Vettel, but also because Ecclestone has to compensate the revenue loss from the organizers (Canada, Spa, England, Germany). Previously, it was almost inconceivable that sky give up the F1 rights. After all, the F1 was considered as a second pillar of the transmitter, which calculates to be DF1, since nearly 20 15 years from all the racetracks live report. sky-Board member Carsten Schmidt has now confirmed, however, that the F1 would be on the "test".
