What's with NBC Sports scrolling the results of the F1 race before the 4:00 replay?
I have to give NBC Sports credit for promoting the F1 race on Car Talk and Fox News, but those who tuned in at the end of the Indycar broadcast to catch the 4:00 F1 replay were "treated" to the spoiler of all spoilers! The scroll at the bottom of the page gave away the results just minutes before the race. Who in the hell made that genius decision?
By the way, the plug on Car Talk has to be the first time in history an auto race was ever promoted on NPR!

its not a spoiler, when they showed the race live already
It is not a tape delay, it is a replay
NBC did nothing wrongyou can't argue with results.

You can't beat the famous "if you don't want to know the result of this evening's goalless draw, look away now".

I did not know this subject was post already
How can you say it was not a spoiler? The live race was on at 4am for me i recorded it to watch later or watch the replay on NBC. why would NBC want to ruin a race that was going to be shown on their network? When f1 was on speed i never saw the results of an fi race durning a Indy race.
Makes no sence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The idea that NBC should withhold that information, until you are good and ready to watch your "taped" replay is unrealistic
Here's a suggestion for you. How about at 3pm you watch your taped F1 race and dvr/tape the indycar raceyou can't argue with results.

It's hard to avoid results after recording, so I usually avoid media sources until I watch the race or qually. Though I must admit that I saw the result of Vettel getting the pole at Malaysia on my home page before I watched qually... which is strange since the Yahoo home page NEVER had F1 coverage in the past that I noticed.

Matter of fact I'll add that due to following Kimi's page on Facebook I managed to log in on my phone and saw his race result before the race. Doh!
