Well I won't miss ITV but it has not all been bad. So long and farewell.

Channel 10 suck. Not quite to the level of suckiness that Channel 9 achieved but close enough.

I've been watching F1 for over 20 years and have NEVER seen a live, uninterrupted race on TV. I live an hours drive south of Sydney and can't get Channel 10's HD broadcast because it only goes into the capital cities. Forgive me if I have little patience with F1 coverage in this country.

Why didn't you watch it live on the net? You half size the netcast, and put "Live Timing" on the other half of the screen, and you get the entire picture of the race on your screen: lap and sector times for each car, gaps from leader as well as between cars, position of each car; sure as hell beat Channel bloody 10.

Next year, on BBC with no ads, all the more reason to
get the feed off the net and send a strong message to Ten with their pathetic coverage.

Buffer...???

When is this? 1998? You haven't magically been teleported from the previous millennium, have you? ;)

I wont miss ITV one bit.

Adverts during critical bits of the race, The Cock getting everything wrong and the Bint asking damn stupid questions of drivers that had just broken down or crashed. :rolleyes:

Only saving grace was Martin and I hope he does go to BBC and stick 2 fingers up to Max :D

Welcome home F1. We've missed you.

Oh and one other thing I can't wait to get shot of, that stupid intro with the silly dressed woman, drivers in posh suits and that annoying song!

Give me "The Chain" with shots of a Williams FW15 (I guess that would be a McLaren MP4-24 next year) intermixed with action clips any day :)

It would be good for perhaps the first programme if they used the same intro sequence as they did when they left off in 1996!
