Only time will tell how this is going to work out. I'm guessing almost all of the coverage is going to be on NBC sports (formerly known as Versus). The network does dedicate quite a bit of time to the IndyCar series, complete with one hour pre-race shows and a pretty substantial post-race follow-up. All we can do is hope F1 gets the same type of treatment. As far as the current team goes, it's true they may not be the best or the most knowledgable in the world, but I do enjoy their enthusiasm for the sport. Some combination of this team has been covering F1 in the USA since I was born, so they must be good for something - comfort and familiarity at minimum. I've never had access to SkySports or BBC coverage so maybe I just don't know what I'm missing
Continued live coverage of qualy and the race is definitely going to be a big emphasis from fans, so I assume they will try to accomodate us - what else is on live at those hours anyway? I like watching Friday practice as well, but missing it wouldn't be the end of the world I suppose.
I'm also a pretty big fan of GP2, so I'm really hoping we still get that coverage as well. NBC sports does show Indy Lights, so that is a good omen.
