Re: [Merged] All F1 Discussions
the coverager by ITV was rubbish from start to finish. ITV have 3 channels now and when Q2 the bit that decides the grid now was taking place they were showing, Div 1 football, American Idol and some repeat on ITV 3 so why couldn't i watch it live.. esp has Mark and Martin would have been doing the comentarry for Canada, South Africa and I think Oz as well..
When they did show that i only got to see 4 cars and that was from their lap having already started and them being in the final sector so I couldn't see how well they had donw or what the gri order was at the time..
The ad as the end was just the final straw although really they should have been prevented from doing that in the TV contract.. It already states they have to show the world feed from 10 mons before the race up to the so many mins past so why not a clause about no ads in the first 5 or final 5 laps...
as to the race in colder conditions this helped the tyres that Shuey had so he got to second.. once again though what could have been a great race was spoilt by still have refueling.. Schuey was down in 13th knowing he had a far superiour car underneath him.. rather than risk overtaking on the track and something happening he waited for the other cars to stop and then put the hammer down.. if we didn't have any stops then he would have ben forced to use the performance of the car and overtake on the track
