Hmm. They may be one of the best funded, but they still have a limited amount of cash, and they are under orders to make the best use of it. F1 is very expensive and we can blame BE for that - he puts the price up so high even the BBC balks at the cost. The BBC have chosen to spend the money elsewhere, and that elsewhere probably serves more people over a year than F1.
Once again, don't blame the BBC for BE overpricing F1 so that only Sky can afford it.
I personally think that this will result in a rapid reduction in viewing figures, and the sponsers are not going to be happy. But we shall see.
