As for Bernie Ecclestone... wow. His claim makes zero sense. Why would someone make up false accusations about him and his taxes when they were at the same time helping facilitate the sale of F1 shares? At a minimum it looks incredibly suspicious and his excuse it very thin.
Agreed on all points.

Honestly, I think its time for Bernie to go.

Yes, I hope so. I am tired of his arrogance and idiocy.

He acts like a senile old fart here:

True that!

I really wish the WSBK was broadcast too. Miss watching that.
We need to petition NBC-SN to pick up the MotoGP and WSBK. Or for the FIM to drop Speed. NBC's coverage of the F1 is so much better than it was on Speed.

I also watch the Australian V8s though. So will have some of that to watch.

Same.
He's been very rude to Will Buxton a couple times on the Grid too when he tried to get a few words with Bernie.

I'd actually like to see a little more coverage of vintage racing in Europe, there's one every other year in Monaco and LeMans and I believe Spa host vintage events. I love the old race cars and in the videos I've seen of Monaco they were tossing these priceless old cars around between the Armco as if they'd just picked them up the rental counter at the airport.

I'd also like to see the "vintage race of the week" - old footage of races, particularly from the 60s and 70s, particularly Trans-Am at some of the defunct tracks. Our first purpose-built race car was a Datsun 510 and Datsun/Nissan used to have a promo (VHS, lol) about John Morton's first year racing it which was fun to watch. I know they've got old F1 footage as well, I remember it on Wide World Of Sports.
