Imho there are numpty other formulas that do exactly that. Having some diversification is what makes f1 different from the rest.
The race itself was rather dull but itv's coverage makes it much much worse. I'm not to fussed about the adverts but that pillock they've got for a commentator otherwise known as james allan, should go back to reporting from the pits and stay there. and as for the pre race coverage at melbourne was farcical. They spent twice as long bantering on about webber visiting a cricket stadium than showing qualy 2
The grid walk was also short because of the pointless banter. ITV's f1 team needs to take a serious look at how ITV's wrc team run there show, currently the wrc coverage is 1000x better. Pointless speculation is almost non existant, they have specials that are about rallying for one thing. In todays coverage they had one of the commentators take a marshalls safety car around the stage, showing both what the safety car does AND what a stage in mexico is like bit
for that. Intermixed with that they had solid coverage of the stages with commentators that a) knew what they were talking about and b) interesting to listen to.
Somehow they managed to squeeze 3 days of rallying into an hours worth of show (1hr 1/2 for mexico as its normal coverage slot was just before the start of the 3rd day)
