to be fair on ITV they aren't the only broadcaster who isn't showing the second session but they might be one fo the few that has a choice of three channels to show it on..
the thing that is stupid is that now a casual viewer will watch qualifying on Saturday and then when the race starts there will be a different grid and they won't know why

yes i agree it needs to go back to be more about the driver but having standard parts, cars, engines etc isn't what formula 1 is all about.. you need to have the tecnhology and different manufacturers in there but the FIA needs to do it's job and control this better..
what they need to do is go back to no tyre stops and no refueling that way the only way to pass someone in on the track and not in the pits..
the other thing that needs to be done is get rid of all the sensors on the cars.. there are so many that they can overrule the driver now and a bad driver with a good engineer can go through all the data and still end up with a quick car and win a race..
with no sensors it's down to the driver skill.. also without the sensors they can't tell what the car is doing and so you can't have traction control, etc
