Re: Liberty Media has confirmed it is buying the racing business Formula 1 for $4.4bn
I think that will be good for the sport as Liberty Media has the skills to modernise F1 in a digital world whereas its previous owners just used it to generate cash. As to TV rights, I assume it will still be a case of bidding so no favourtism for Eurosport. But I suspect Liberty might be keener for some races to remain on a FTA channel than its previous owners were as it is investing in the sport long term.
