Pitpass
Nothing comes for free in F1 and the recent signing of the new Concorde Agreement is no exception. When its predecessor was signed in 1998 Williams, McLaren, Tyrrell and Ferrari were allegedly offered stakes in F1's holding company in return for their commitment, they never got them. This time around, the teams will get a financial bonus for the next five years in return for signing and it will cost the sport over $180m

'The Sport' can afford it, can't it?
Bernie surely can?

You're like a dog chasing a car. You'll never catch it and you just wouldn't know what to do with it if you did

Yeah, but before on ITV y'all were bitching. Plus the commercial-free broadcast you pay with your TV fees.

Good for you - 'bout time! Y'all claim it's a British sport, so you may as well get the best coverage. American football is well, American, and we have the best coverage in the world
