i would just start a petition on facebook. you get loads of people looking at it, but you dont get the comedians of the internet that make up 4chan.
they would probably make a petition for the cars to be scrapped, robot dinosaurs to take their place and the safety car to be a steamroller

they seem to be missing some letters and have had to use numbers instead.
Yeah that really annoyed me, too.
well aside from the design elements, i think they had some interesting ideas, showing all practice sessions live ( assume not just streamed via web) and also 20 hours of documentry's on the engineering side, and 20 hours on the historical side, and also trying to do some educational stuff. could have been quite good, think i'd rather that than what were going to get with the bbc/sky.
Seems they were quite serious then.

The channel 4 material just makes me more upset.
Gutted to be losing this sport.

Anyone else noticed this:
BBC story about the local TV services
Specifically this:
So F1 costs £45m and they can't afford it but they can splash out £40m on subsiding local TV channels which everyone seems to agree is going to be a total flop and only Jeremy Chunt actually wants.
I know where I'd rather have my license fee going.

I don't understand, aren't the bbc channels and ITV network channels already local?
Exactly. It's an utter waste of time. It's based on the American system which works in America because they don't have local arms of national news networks (and a much bigger country).
It's a waste of time and money and if they scrapped it we could have F1 back on the BBC.
Agreed. The proposals contained within the images shown looked like they could have turned out to be great.
hahaha you nearly owed me a new screen for that one !!!
Really!? I doubt that.
Not literally, obviously.
In the sense that the BBC have said they can't afford £45m to keep F1 but they have agreed to put aside £40m for this stupid scheme.
Not to mention the £900m move from London to Salford!
Don't quite know how I managed to miss it, but I looked up this morning when leaving my flat and notice a massive satalite dish on the roof. Looks like I may be able to get Sky after all 
How does this work from a Sky+ point of view though? My parents Sky+ needed 2 cables from the dish to the box. I would assume there is only 1 to my flat?

So you're going to pay the 400 odd quid for half the races? Brave man, I think I will end up doing it but am living in denial at the moment.
