Rejected petition Keep all live Formula 1 races on a free-to-air channel

More details

The decision by the BBC to only show some of the Formula 1 races in the future is the wrong one. F1 is popular in this country and should be retained on free-to-air channels. F1 is not a minority sport and cannot be bettered on the BBC. The government should intervene to ensure that the BBC, or one of the other free channels, shows all live races.
