Guys come on...this is about F1...let's not make it personal.

Upon further review, I cannot find what channel the race is on in the US...it is not on SPEED...any ideas?

Often Speed has the practice, qualifying and discussion but then Fox sports gets the race (?)

It's a pain.

Talk to Bernie. He charges more for F1 broadcast rights than any cable company in the USA can afford. Speed, ESPN, etc. do not have enough viewers. They have to put the more popular races on broadcast TV. Come on, let's get real! How else could Bernie's daughter afford to buy the aaron Spelling mansion? A

The same thing happens with NASCAR.

And they delay it too... I don't know how many times I have hauled my sorry butt outta bed at 4:30 in the morning to watch a race on Speed, only to turn it on and find that it is on the local Fox station at 10am, meaning I can't look at the interwebs for 5hrs! (and for me, that is a ghastly proposition)

Horner is lying again

Mark Webber says he and Red Bull team-mate Sebastian Vettel remain free to race each other, and claims the British Grand Prix situation was most likely a one-off.
