Rick, agreed...F1 went the way of WWF a few years ago so the switch is no surprise.
When I attend the races, the focus is never the actual F1 race.
Recorded on my DVR, I will skip though it as Erik does.
When I want real racing entertainment, I watch ALMS or the twice/year NASCAR road courses.
Do we watch F1 to support Ferrari? Or is it because of the technology? What technology can prevent a car from being passed by another car with an unfair advantage (DRS)?
Doesn't sound like racing to me.
I'll stick to the Cobra Daytona Coupe vs. 250GTO through the corkscrew at Laguna Seca for the Rolex Historics.
That's worth my time and $$$.

Hello old Friends,
With Bernie-Vision switching from SpeedTV to NBC (or NBC Sports) for 2013, I fear my following of F1 may come to a close (after 15 years of religious following). The issue here is not anything against NBC, other than the four big networks' propensity for hate-TV (Vote the bastard off!!!, Cheat on your Wife and WWF). The issue is that I live in south Texas, and Sunday morning TV in Texas is church. If F1 is shown at all on the NBC affiliate, it will be delayed broadcast - unless it interferes with football. Now if we're talking about some NBC Sports network, I probably won't get it at all as I have no sports channels on my TV service.
Forgive the rant, please. This is just another Bernie-induced cock-up. Bringing F1 back to America is not for Americans. Its for the advertising of American brands in Europe and Asia. After all, who watches F1 in America? The FerrariLIST, FerrariCHAT and three guys who moved here from Germany.
