Also-rans: The News Happen

# F1: Very interesting is the moment from behind the scenes, so it should vote for. Formula 1 is currently the majority of Delta Topco, which is a combination of many different companies mainly from Bernie Ecclestone. Delta Topco in turn owns 70% of the CVC Capital Partners, JPMorgan and 20% to 10% Ecclestone himself or his family. CVC also holds a majority stake in Formula 1, if you like it. This is shown in somewhat simplified, because nothing works without Ecclestone, did not apply because his countless companies have different rights (names, TV, marketing, etc ...). Who knows more about the extremely complicated ownership structure can be happy in this wonderful old article by Don more

There is a blog on Sky News Mark Kleinman ( http://blogs.news.sky.com/kleinman/Post:ba1e6a4b-b146-4edc-ae17-1bdcdcbeb360 ), which then writes the following reason: The News Corp., one of the most powerful media companies in the world thinks about it possibly to buy the shares of CVC in Delta Topco, which would probably come in fact a takeover of Formula 1 with News Corp. the same. Short of News Corp. This includes, inter alia, FOX, The Sun, The Times, The Wall Street Journal and many many other major (inter) national newspapers and TV stations. The most important thing is that the News Corp. also including Sky Germany, Sky GB and Sky Italy belong. Note: Many thanks to dog food, which points in the comments on this: "Small addition: News Corp. is not part of BSkyB (Sky UK). You have only 39% and are currently in advanced takeover talks (including antitrust discussions). This is so far little more than a detail, because this acquisition News Corp. would cost about 8 to 10 billion € and thus reduces the range of motion of the News Corp. about a possible takeover of F1 on. Conversely, it makes clear that the attempt to try to lift BSkyB * and * F1 acquisition, a very aggressive / expanisionistisches approach would be. "

These are seen nationwide technically the absolute formula 1 core markets. What do a takeover of Delta Tepco by News Corp. on the TV-rights for an effect would be, can probably all think it would definitely be over probably with the presence of large free-TV Formula 1 first.

But even the News Corp. with its massive financial reserves, taking over the Formula 1 probably not lift alone, so it probably just sounded partner. You have spoken with the richest man in the world, Carlos Slim. This includes among other things, Telmex, the sponsors mainly clean. However, there are the plans of News Corp., so they exist in a very early stage, there has been no contact between the CVC and the News Corp. It is unclear whether and when further the interests of CVC in Delta Topco ever available for sale and Ecclestone himself closes a sale within the next 2 years from that, but what is even impossible to sell in today's world?

/ / The Spanish HRT team has presented one of its two drivers for 2011 - and an average surprise . delivered Narain Kartikeyan, most recently in 2005 en route to Jordan, will be driving a car in 2011 of the Spanish team. After the end of his first F1 career of financially strong support from Tata Group Indians among others in the A1GP and Le Mans Series in the NASCAR trucks as well as in the Superleague Formula was on the road - where he, perhaps with the exception of trucks, in none of these series could really convince. On the other hand, he has shown in the early 2000s in various junior classes fairly decent performance - it will be interesting. If anyone else has, incidentally, always wondered how to pronounce the name correctly - here is a Sample . The ratio of the other F1-Indian, Karun Chandhok, however, is his former employer probably demolished for good. HRT maintains Chandhoks sponsors have paid to the team only two of eight million agreed and allegedly even considering a lawsuit. The second HRT therefore remains provisional seat vacant - Colin Kolles has just announced that Bruno Senna, the team will leave. Rumored to bicker over the GP2 Asia champion Davide Valsecchi, the Malaysian Fairuz Fauzy and unless Indian force him to drop really, Tonio Liuzzi. (Caution)

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".
