I've been an avid F1 fan since my teens. I was gutted when the BBC pulled out of
their contract (3?) years early. Sky are robbers (the continent only pay a
fraction of what we pay in the UK)so, as a pensioner, I couldn't afford to go
down that route.
I decided to get round the problem by buying an Openbox V8s. If Murdock wasn't
so greedy I'd go legit but I can't see "robbing Rupert" droping his prices any
time soon.
