/ / Relatively high waves hit England in the announcement that the BBC broadcasts of their F1 set more or less the end of this year. Instead jumps sky sport, show, as in Germany, all the training, Qualis and races live. 10 races will also show the BBC, the rest are in England at a slightly abridged recording evening. It takes the BBC to comment on sky, which are probably set back on Coulthard / Brundle. The announcement came as a surprise, even though there were rumors for weeks, and has the British F1 fans brought to the barricades. Do I have similar fears in Germany now? The answer is no. RTL earned good money with the F1, it is rather the question whether the sky will expire in late 2011 to extend the contract. The situation in England is also special. The BBC needs to save money, which cost $ 50 million a season F1 alone to come right, just right. Among the 50 million are also still spending on the transmission, which are the "dream team" of the BBC not just a little. However closely it may then be on the streaming front. Until now left the BBC broadcasts of view relatively easily, which is connected to the switch to sky over now. Don
