More F1 fun….or lack there of

Filed under: China — andrewstrauss @ 7:49 pm

Well…..the F1 British Grand Prix took place yesterday at 7 P.M., and I foolishly thought that I would be able to view it on CCTV5. They of course were running a World Cup pre-game talk show of some sort instead of the race. I am starting to wonder if Formula 1 isn’t popular in China because it is always displaced in order to broadcast something else, or if it isn’t broadcast because F1 isn’t popular in China. I think it is a little of both but I am not sure at all. What are your thoughts on this modern Chicken/Egg problem?

Anyway…..M. Schumacher took second and Räikkönen took third which made me happy :)

    I think they put priority on the R1 (Rik-shaw Cross Town) races Labor Day weekend.
