Rejected petition Keep Formula 1 on the BBC

More details

We have just learned that the BBC will not be offering Formula 1 free to air from 2012 following a deal struck with SKY. The government should debate whether it is in the interests of the public for a sport that is watched by 10,000,000 on the BBC to be allowed to be hived off to SKY
