In case Y'all hadn't heard, Formula 1
television viewing numbers dropped significantly last year with the easy reason
being: BLAME SEBASTIAN! As its true that Seb' Vettel's utter domination of the
season, including reeling off a record
nine in-a-row victories at the end of the year were a major turnoff, but
instead, let's take notice that arguably F1's largest market Britain was forced
to switchover to PAY TV which surely cost it viewers - not to mention the large
loss in France due to the switch over to the PAY wall at Canal TV... While
China accounts for probably the largest viewership loss - albeit Mr. Bernard Ecclestone probably
doesn't give a Monkey's ARSE since he's
getting his cut directly from the lucrative TV networks instead!
