imho this afternoon's coverage was rediculous, they spent a whole 5 minutes showing the first session, with barely more than 10 seconds on each car and not everyone was shown. Yet they wasted 20minutes sitting outside talking about stuff nobody cares about. More action less reaction please itv.
BBC were great at F1 and C4 were good at WRC can they have them back please as your programes are pathetic in comparison.

ITV, AFAIK, do not provide the actual coverage of the Qualifying sessions or Race. They buy it in from a local TV station. If this is actually the case, they don't actually have much control over how long each car covered.

Regarding the race. It was not a suprise to see Ferrari doing well (they have done well so often I actually have started to get bored), but it was a very nice surprise to see Jaguar do well. I was impressed by Williams as well (together with McLaren, Williams are my personal favourite team).
