I have just been reading that F1 cost the BBC about £200m per year and for that reason may well have to drop it. I used to hate the adverts on ITV, so I reckon that the Beeb have done a good job with it.

Just hope that Sky don't get their hands on it.
 
If I could enter late into the Andy Murray debate from earlier ..... I don't like him because he is anti-English. His disowning of his British side is because it associates him with the English.

To me he should be most proud to be a Scot but then to be British. He should play Davis Cup for his Country - Britain in that competition. He should also be grown up enough to realise that the press want to sell papers and they are largely London let alone England based so they will always pick up on an Engilish "success" first but when the English are so rubbish they will cast around for the next likely "paper seller" and if that happens to be a Scot so be it - he is British they will proclaim. Most Englishmen don't dislike the Scots (unlike in reverse) so they will support a Scot - or for that an Irishman or Welsh under a British flag.

What I do expect is that when Scotland play England they will support the "home" nation. Now that I live in Wales I will always support England against Wales but if England are not playing I will support the country who are good enough to have me live there - to me that seems fair
 
i completely agree Leonardo...i suppose, not being a Scot, it's hard to understand how deep those divides run. It's easy, as an English person, to say...why don't the Scots just enjoy being British with us, but there's so much ancestral hatred and antagonism, i guess, in some quarters, it's hard to get that out of the blood. He, i hope, is unusual in that these days.
 
Speaking of Murray, he's started off well. Although Ljubicic was three break points down, saved them all, and the first one in particular was sensational. This could well be a four or five setter.
