David Coulthard: OK here we go,flat out in top, brake down to 3rd, get a good drive onto the straight, looks like a good lap so far, but he's missed the apex a bit there, oh and he's well wide on that corner... now he's slowing! He's very slow there! He's got a problem with the car! Oh no hang on, this isn't a hot lap at all, it's an in-lap/an out-lap/the mechanics loading the car into the truck, and now we've cut to a shot of Nicole Scherzinger's arse.
The first time it might have been a mistake but they seem to do it to him at some point every race weekend now :D
I did find that quite amusing this weekend :p :
Is it just me, or is anyone a little disappointed that Murray wasn't brought in for a snippet of commentary during yesterdays race? I thought the BBc might have got the message from the flooding of messageboards asking for him to commentate. Considering it is a track where he has seen every grand prix since 1949 and the emotional aspect of it possibly being the last race for Silverstone in F1, I thought the least the BBC could have done was give a few laps for Murray to commentate on during the race.
Would certainly have livened up what was a pretty average race...
Gee I thought the coverage in Australia was average.
Very little shown of Vettel, sure he took off early, but why didn't they show the early laps and then practially nothing of 2nd v 3rd...instead the coverage was related to some battles further back, some points, some non points. Pretty average.
Well, BBC don't directly influence the race director's decisions. In fact, occasionally I've heard either Martin Brundle or James Allen complain about the fact that the director is not focusing on a core on-track battle.Quote:

The BBC are really taking this F1 coverage seriously, really very good work, well done them!
anyone miss ITV? :D
The whole channel could go off air, and that question would still be valid.Quote:

Well if all of ITV were to go i would be annoyed, they do a fantastic job of BTCC coverage IMO-from 11-6 on BTCC sundays all races including supports. brilliant!Quote:

I'd rather have coverage GP2 than have free practice on the red button.
