As many of you know this Sundays Brazilian Grand Prix is the 296th and final formula one race that Speed Tv will be broadcasting, ironically enough being the race that they got their start back in 1996 broadcasting as Speed Vision. This is a tribute video that they shared at the end of their emotional broadcast of the race, a look back of some of the highlights from their 17 year run. Highlights that will always be remembered whether it was a memorable race, interviews with the drivers, or some of the silly sayings the broadcasters had to say. 2012 will be your last season and what a season to conclude with. From one F1 fan i can say on behalf of thousands of others, Speed Channel thank you for broadcasting as well as watching every breathtaking and rememorable moment that has unfolded over the 17 years with us. Its been a helluva ride and im sure we can all look back and without a shadow of a doubt say: WE DID HAVE A LOT OF FUN TOGETHER! http://formula-one.speedtv.com/article/f1-speed-thanks-formula-one-fans Formula One on Speed Facebook Comment: This is a sad day. I first heard news on this during Q3 of the Korean Grand Prix and i couldn't believe what i was hearing, i had to immediately jump onto google and search it. Bob Varsha i love your commentator skills, you are always such a treat to listen to as well as doing Barrett Jackson Events as well. David Hobbs gotta love you, love how you bring a drivers perspective to the mix as well as contrasting the past vs the present with every aspect from the drivers, to the cars, to the tracks. Steve Matchett there can't be enough said about you, you make formula one so interesting on the inter working side of the sport, especially about the talk of the type of exhaust systems that they have during 2nd practice of the Korean GP. I love your RPM Segments as well and i have taped most of them. You have not only made me love F1 that much more but have allowed me to understand the basics to tire telemetry and suspension settings oh not only over and under steer but how to cure them, you make me look like a know it all around my friends watching. Knowledge is everything in this sport so thank you. Will Buxton gotta love you as well, best interviewing in a while, you know how to ask the right/difficult questions and well as bring a jokey side of yourself out during the broadcasts and behind the scene segments. Peter Winsor the greatest field Commentator that ever lived, you were the face of formula one back when i first started watching the sport at least 10 years ago. It was sad to see you go and try to have someone replace you until they hit the nail on the head with Will Buxton. Im sorry that the USF1 never got off the ground but i believe that you are owed a big credit to the reason why F1 is as big as it is in the US, you must be happy with the outcome of Austin and New Jersey next year. Speed Tv has done a sensational job of bringing a once thought of Foreign Europeon sport to the states so we can get a glimpse of the pinnacle of motor sports. I appealed the News Corp dispute with Directv on the price increase just so I wouldn't lose SpeedTv just for the sole reason of keeping Forumla 1, its that important to me. Everything from the broadcasts of practice 2, to the online streaming, formula one debrief, to the text alerts, no one out there has ever covered any sport let alone auto racing from ever aspect possible and then some. Cant wait for the last 5 GP races of 2012 (which has been the greatest year ever) and especially the US GRAND PRIX IN AUSTIN. Congrats on your 17 year run with F1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
