ABC/ESPN acquires Formula 1 next season - Smart of Formula 1 to retain the rights to stream the races via a subscription service worldwide.
Fans have let it be known to FAA that they are pissed because ESPN did not retain the beloved British broadcast crew that fans have followed forever. They think that an American ESPN crew that have never raced in F1, designed an F1 car, and knows nothing about the industry, which includes F1 lore, will destroy the experience for viewers.
ESPN will find that the best F1 broadcast crew is irreplaceable in the booth particularly Hobbs, Leigh, Matchett and Buxton whose careers span decades in F1 racing.
NBCSN broadcasting team provides excellent commentary, banter, keen insight, unique colloquialism and humor during the races. Fans cannot imagine watching F1 without listening to the expertise of all four broadcasters together.
J.F.C. ESPN ruins everything it touches!
