I didn't see this posted already, so hopefully I'm not sharing news you all knew. Great news for F1 in the US is that ESPN will broadcast Sky Sports F1 footage over here. I know lots of people have mixed feelings about the sport, but if you are a fan and you endured the terrible NBCSN coverage, this is a game changer: https://espnmediazone.com/us/press-releases/2018/02/espn-sky-sports-joi…

The Sky Sports coverage in my opinion is far superior to the NBCSN coverage we've had here in recent years. I used to try to watch streams online of the Sky coverage, so having it on my tv will be great.

SkySports F1 does THREE straight hours commercial free, i wonder what ESPN will do? NBCSN was a freakin joke! Commercial ever 4 laps, and i am not exaggerating.

I would have NBCSN on the big screen with a SkySports stream on my PC and flip back and forth for all those damn commercials. F1 in HD on a 70" is glorious, but those commercials....damn! They ruined F1 broadcasting in the US.

I really hope this is a move in the right direction.

Thanks for sharing the news.


edit: " ...including all practice sessions, qualifying and races, will air live and in replay across ESPN platforms in 2018."

Thats sounds awesome!
