Can't wait to watch the final race! 

As if Her Majesty would side against one of her Knights!!!

The final race is to be shown live on C4 on Sunday, after they struck a deal with Sky to share the broadcasting rights.

Haven't got timings for the broadcast times yet, my EPG hasn't updated, but the race start is supposed to be 13:00 GMT. Also, don't know if the highlights show, currently in the EPG at 17:25, will be rescheduled or simply cancelled.

RB have prepared Max's car for the big showdown!

Can anybody confirm the above please? Even the Ch4 site only shows the highlights programme at 1730hrs. 

Addit: Just done a bit of digging and found this on the 'Observer' website -
The Formula One world championship showdown will be broadcast on free-to-air television after Channel 4 announced they will screen the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix live.

No "L" plates either 

I think this is what's needed on both if they get close to one-another...

I'm waiting for the new improved F1. They've solved the noise problems, they've fixed the pollution issues, they can be raced on smaller circuits, and the vehicles are designed to survive the now standard driver tantrums - F1 pedal cars

The smaller circuits sounds appealing, Brands Hatch maybe?  Now that would be good!

Unfortunately Brands Hatch can't be upgraded to current F1 safety standards (they'd need to demolish a lot of houses around it for the space needed for gravel traps and access etc.)

Then again, Brands Hatch does host the F1 Masters most years and they're absolutely brilliant there. Proper 1970s & 80s F1 cars being properly raced. Also the tickets are a hell of a lot cheaper than for a Grand Prix and you even get access to the paddock and back of the pits!
