Don't ITV listen to the views of people? And another thing- what happened to Heikki in the press conference? They just left it without hearing from him.

As a positive they didn't show Lewis' dad at all during the GP coverage! Lifes little gems!

Be good to see it on the BBC, just for the theme tune :D which i'm hoping they will bring back.

The position graphics are part of the TV feed ITV gets so they will not change.

I think there is little danger of the qualifying sessions not being shown live.

In 1996, the last year the BBC had F1 coverage, every qualifying session was shown live on BBC1 or BBC2, why should they do anything worse then they did before?

As someone said earlier before then, qualifying coverage was often only the last ten or twenty minutes, but the old 2 day format used before 1996 was not TV friendly. If Friday was dry and Saturday wet nobody had any chance of beating their time so hardly anyone would go out.
