Well if Sky Germany is anything to go by, then F1 will slowly die in the UK.

As Vettle was going to win this weekend, RTL had it on free, which attracted near on 5 million viewers..but on average only 200,000 watch it on Sky Germany each week.
Very low figures, despite a German driver dominating the sport. Figures which Sky Sports can expect.

Also looks like the guy who presents Rugby Union on Sky is going to be the new anchor for F1 on Sky

LOLOLOL. Hope Jake stays with BBC. Really like his presenting style, constantly ripping EJ for his shirts and DC for something else!

When Vettel crashed in Japan's practice and damaged his front wing, there was no replacement and they wouldn't take Webber's.

Vettel desired to have THAT wing design so strongly that he would cover the cost to fly the front wing immediately by private plane from the UK to Japan. Cost to deliver by private plane on short notice, to allow him to get Pole Position was estimated at $200,000 USD (€150,000 EUR).

Looks like it may be as good as last week with Mclaren looking super competitive! If LH can look after his tyres from the off he may have a chance  :smiley:

I have a feeling SV is going to take LH on into the first corner, but then LH will stick with SV and do him at teh end of the long straight.

If Hamilton changed hisaggressive style there is every chance he can take pole next yr. Just watched the Korean and there is no reason he can't succeed

i thought LH had a great race and was very disciplined. It was very clear that the red bulls were much faster in this race, and he did very well to hold his own.

Although looking at LH's attitude it looks like there are some underlying issues there somewhere... it maybe personal or it maybe with the team but there is definately something going on :undecided:
