News Corp will buy it and ruin it by playing adverts through it.

yeah - just as Kobayashi pulls out alongside Vettel half way down a straight.

Be just like the ITV coverage in 2007 when they cut to adverts in Brazil from like what? 3 laps to go? while Lewis was trying to get that extra point.

1 Advert through and it changed quickly enough

I remember Hill overtaking Schumacher in Hungary in 1997 was missed because of a commercial break.

I'm not sure Sky would interrupt the race with advertisements, though, if it's on a premium subscription sports channel. They'd only do that if it was on a basic package channel, wouldn't they?

If sky gets F1 then god help any females on the grid

I'm not sure if this is part of the 'Noooooo!!' story or if it deserves its own thread but, following on from Ecclestone spending the weekend of the Chinese GP in Germany to provide evidence about the $50m paid to the banker who sold his shares in F1 to CVC, Ecclestone now claims that the payment was the result of blackmail with the banker, Gerhard Gribkowsky, threatening to reveal compromising details about Ecclestone's business dealings if Ecclestone didn't pay up. For some reason it's taken until now for Ecclestone to bring this up.

Is this a concerted move by Rupert Murdoch to get Ecclestone out of the way so he can manipulate a deal with CVC?

Is the Rupert Murdoch connection a red herring?

WTF is going on?

Murdoch and Ecclestone corruption stories temporally coincide once again.

Would we have private pit-driver conversations wire-tapped?

Hahahaha…
