Fox Sports and its cable network, Speed, signed a three-year contract with Formula One racing to provide U.S. television coverage of the world’s most-watched motor sport through 2009.
Fox will broadcast four events each season, including live coverage of the U.S. Grand Prix in Indianapolis and the Canadian Grand Prix. Speed will have live coverage of the other 13 F1 events and also will air live coverage of qualifying and practices.
Formula One, which is managed by billionaire Bernie Ecclestone, estimates it averages 150 million television viewers around the world per race.

Fox coverage of the Formula 1, is so bad. They never show the race live. Well except the Canadian GP.
The show it 5 Hours later ???? It is an outrage to any F1 fan that they show it so late.
I would like people to demand that they show it live.
I like to see them show the Super Bowl 5 hours late. Idiots
I agree with what you are saying. do they know anything about television and who watches it. I actually get up early to catch the “live” F1 races on SPEED!
We are a family of f1 fans. I guess if speed will not telecast f1 live any longer why
waste money by subscribing to the stupid channel?
