The teams and Bernie must have cashed in big-time on this if they have agreed to sign the deal, but it's a very narrow-sighted approach they are taking and they haven't thought about the long-game. The BBC obviously aren't interested in F1 now that the Brits aren't winning (which was the only reason they were interested in the first place).
I've no doubt that F1 will return to the BBC in 2019 though.. once the rights to show it are dirt cheap because it is a washed-up series, attracting nobodies in the seats, and is a sport that nobody is interested in.
Hopefully the BBC can still afford to keep giving the likes of Gary Linekar and Bruice their free ride through life with their obscene contracts... they're the people I'm really worried for now.
