    I read today that the BBC have paid 200m for the rights from 2009 – 2013.

    I wonder who they will choose for the commentary team.

    Hi Marb,

    Lewis Hamilton will certainly get the ratings for the BBC if he continues in the same winning ways.

    Well, it’ll be good to be able to see the races with no ad breaks, but…

    …with the BBC being the only bidder after ITV decided to exercise their right to drop out atthe end of this season, why on earth have the BBC agreed to pay Ecclestone around £40m a year, about 30% more than ITV were paying?

    They could probably have got away with half that amount if they’d made any sort of effort.

    Funny sort of "negotiating", especially with my money.
