Still waiting for a link stating categorically that RTL show EVERY race live and in the clear.

Then if you are not aware of the situation best to refrain from telling the OP he is wrong.

RTL has shown every race for free for over 20 years and will carry on doing so.

I'm guessing when you were posting that they will not from now on do so, you had some new information regarding this change rather than just making stuff up to abuse the OP?

RTL will have the exclusive German free TV rights to all advertising elements of each Formula One racing weekend, including the free training, qualifying and actual races, and the prize-giving.

All of which beggars the question why on earth has Sky Sport Germany bought the pay TV rights if all the races are already being shown free-to-air? Seems like a ludicrous waste of money for a subscription service to simply duplicate the free offering..

The links I posted earlier are by no means clear about the actual coverage and, if I was considering the OP's recommendation, I'd want verifiable assurances that RTL were indeed covering every race Free-To-Air.

Perhaps they felt the extensive extra services and feeds supplied by FOM were worth it?
Feel free to write to the CEO of RTL for any 'verifiable reassurances' you need, be sure to post the reply when you get it

All of which beggars the question why anyone would continue to berate a new poster, who was only giving some small accurate help full advice.
Continuing to state they were wrong with no knowledge of the issue and seemingly no working knowledge of even google.

That link says:

The BBC will continue to broadcast live coverage of 10 selected races and these will also have "extended highlights" just few hours after.

Really? I think not.

By my powers of deduction, him joining Top Gear almost definitely means he won't be moving to Ch4 (or Sky) so UK F1 viewers won't be getting him anyway.

Yes, we know, I was replying to Moneyineptitude's post
