Sky F1-BBC viewing figures from 2012

I think the bbc want rid of it totally. It depends if Sky thinks it is worth the money. If not it might end up on eurosport or Dave

Look how they treat MotoGP. F1 will go the same way. The BBC have plenty money for z-listers in sequins making fools of themselves, golf, footyball and tennis but seemingly not for something decent.

The problem with Dave is that it'll be shown on a six month delay and then re-shown every two weeks forever!

All I hope is that whoever gets it; they don't advertise during races and qualifying; I hated that when it was on ITV!

All I hope is that it's FREE

TVRatingsUK give the following figures for British TV audiences re. the Malaysian GP:

BBC - 4.01m (peak 4.66m)
SKY - 722k (peak 1.35m)

Still proving that it is vital that F1 remains free-to-view.

Is that 722k for Sky, the live broadcast, the delayed broadcast, or both....?

Tbh, I'm not sure, I presume live, but either way, the figure lags far behind that of the BBC.

The time of broadcast will affect the figures, to a degree, but not by enough to change the overall conclusions.

But BBC will always get more figures, as its non-subscription.
