This will probably be the last year on swiss public tv...
I'm really afraid of what's going to happen when the sponsors realize that the tv exposure is going down the drain. I can't imagine that whatever the pay-tv channels are paying is making up for the loss of sponsor income...With so many teams having financial difficulties already...
Still on the BBC though right? (which means we Dutchies can watch it live still without paying extra)

I can't wait for the season to start since this will be my first time I've followed a whole season. I'm still trying to figure out who to root for. I'm leaning towards supporting Räikkönen.
Great OT.

NBC Sports and 3 races on NBC.
Same day/date/time or delayed?
I think they are doing both.

Sorry I can't give you any first hand info but this thread might help. It should pick up more as the event gets closer, not sure if that helps if you're looking to book it soon though.

Former grand prix driver Kamui Kobayashi has joined Ferrari's factory World Endurance Championship campaign.
The move, predicted in AUTOSPORT magazine last month, means that the former Toyota and Sauber Formula 1 driver will race a Ferrari 458 Italia in the GTE Pro class for the factory AF Corse team.
Kobayashi joins a select band of Ferrari factory GT drivers, which includes Gianmaria Bruni, Giancarolo Fisichella and Toni Vilander.
Kobayashi, 26, said: "It's an honour for me to become part of the Ferrari family. I will work hard and give my all in this new chapter of my career.
"I can't wait to start working with AF Corse and really hope I can aim for the title."
They needed to store him somewhere for the year, so he can replace Massa next season.
I wonder if this is actually likely. I have no idea how closely the Ferrari GT team would be associated with their F1 branch, but is it possible they're doing it to keep him on the backburner for a potential comeback as a #2 driver?They needed to store him somewhere for the year, so he can replace Massa next season.
Yeah, it's not looking all that great. I wish BBC had a way to hold onto the whole thing back when Sky put in the successful bid for it. Coverage has been going downhill ever since :/Yup.
Sort of related, this'll be the first year I don't watch the race live. No Sky access this year and I'm not paying to watch it in SD. Not a chance.
This is the photo from my dreams!!!
But Alas, he isn't joining Ferrari F1

Maybe it worked out better for McLaren to get rid of Hamilton in that they also lost the self-entitled pretentiousness that went with him. All they need to do now is keep Jenson from whining about the car and they'll have a lineup that's hard to dislike.http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2013/mar/11/lewis-hamilton-greatness-f1-museum-jet
He really does seem to have grown into an odious ballbag. He seems to be following in Jenson's footsteps... albeit in reverse.
Yup.Mercedes are slowly discovering just what they have taken on. This driver comes with baggage. But it will all be worthwhile if, in the next three years, he delivers the wins and the titles which the team so desperately crave.

He could get a seat if Honda enters in 2014Absolutely this. Kobayashi in a Ferrari would be fantastic.
I think that we will hear something like that this weekendBut oh god there's soooo muuuuch understeeeeer. It's undrivable guys.
Oh man, I'm salivating at the possibility!
