Jack Plooij was right: a reliable source reports that Ziggo has regained control of the rights for F1.
That much seems clear at Viaplay. Anyway, they still have the F1 rights. With the emphasis on 'yet'. When money can be thrown around to get those rights back, Ziggo will be in the front row.
“Ziggo has rights back”
So juicy news when GPBlog has heard that Ziggo has the rights back in its hands! They say they heard this from a reliable source, so it is certainly not official yet. But according to them (and the source), you can expect an official announcement soon.
Highest offer
If this is true, then Ziggo has trumped Viaplay, but also RTL and Canal+. The amount involved is not yet known, but it is clear that many millions were thrown around. That's how it still works at Ziggo. Jack Plooij already seemed to have misspoken during the F1 Race Café a few weeks ago, which gives an extra dimension to the rumor.
What will this mean? That you (like many others) can cancel Viaplay, that F1 will again become a great promotional thing for Ziggo and that there will therefore be room for Olav and Jack again. Although the latter is of course far from confirmed, nor is the whole news.
