I think there will be The same was said about Premiership football We paid ã10 a month for Setanta, we will do the same for F1 after we stop complaining and moaning Ofcourse they will find lots of new tech gadgets to justify the cost and to Market it Like interactivity, 3d, onboards F1 lends itself for this stuff very well For example, how many pay for the official F1 timing app by softpauer?
Sadly, I think I agree with you, but being a purist I don't like where F1 is heading, but then again I dont like where most things are heading at present, tell you what, I'm heading off to the pub.
What bothers me is that CVC may well be tempted by an offer that gives a substantial return on their original, rather under-priced investment. It would not be too difficult to take the Murdoch/Exor money and run… And if that happens my interest and enthusiasm for F1 will, after a life-time, probably evaporate.
Yea, Cosi, it's Bernie's level of control at CVC that bothers me, as we both know some of these people will sell their soul's, they dont give a toss about F1. Listening to Bernie on the BBC this morning he has confirmed that 'CVC is not for sale' and as you say, he is a racing man at heart. One thing I am sure of is, I will never ever purchase any Turdoch product.
