Huh?? I was stoked yesterday when I looked on the prime site. Last gp it was delayed by more than 48 hours, so I'm not going to complain about it being delayed by 6 hours or so.

What I'm more worried about is who has the rights for it next year. If i recall, last year when prime first got the rights they secured them till the end of this year. I wonder if they are going to renew them or they are going to let them drop. Only other channel that I could see picking it up would be tv1 after loosing the f1 rights for next year to sky. Lets just hope prime take it and we might be able to see more live races.

If TV1 get the rights wouldnt hold ya breath for live coverage, prob just get to see it on the Sunday motorsport prog a week after the event, like now.

Not too mention there would be ads during the race. Anyone else notice when they started doing it to F1?

Lets face it Prime is still the best chance we have of free to air coverage. While we may not like the delay and the messing with the scedule (running backwards - forcing us to block ears when the commentators enivitably mention earlier races), they still need to be thanked for what we do have. Keep sending to them guys. Letting them know the positives with the negatives.
