    I agree. Excellent coverage and I'm now watching the forum which is a great addition

    I thought it was amusing when David Coulthard got his pass out of his pocket and showed it to security as they walked out onto the track!

    Was a good show today. I enjoyed Gascoyne and Lee didn't have many to interview with 18 cars running late into the race.

    Absolutely. I still can't believe what a great job they're doing, a solid four hour programme all in all. And no early breaks for Coronation Street when the race overruns

    Can you get 5-live commentary online?

    I love 5L during the practice sessions, and might seriously consider using them for the race next time. It's fantastic just to be able to have the choice!

    I Love Ant and Croft for pratice as well.

    But then again, I think the main team also did a superb job this race. Well done.

    How awesome is it, that we now have 2 good commentary teams to choose from? Doesn't get much better than this, does it?

    Brundle took DC with him on the pit walk which was a masterstroke, giving him somewhere to go when he couldn't find drivers and also lending a useful second line of questioning.

    The red button post-race show is such a simple but effective idea. Don't care about the race? Fine, watch Andrew Marr's ears. Want to see everything? 90% of the UK has digital and can press red for an extra hour.

    I don't know what Eddie Jordan's "other committments" were, but please let them continue. Mike Gascoyne was such a great addition to the team.

    The weak link is definately Lee McKenzie. Where were the interviews with retirees today? What did she contribute?

    Good post there. I think Jonny Legard needs to slow his words down a little bit, because it sounds like his brain is ahead of his mouth at times.

    I didn't see quali or race build-up, but Mike Gascoyne was great. Eddie wasn't missed AT ALL for me, but if they decided to have a four-man team for the rest of the year, it would still be very good. Even with Eddie there the coverage was still good but I hope they can bring Mike in permanently.

    I know he may have post-race radio commitments, but it would be good if they could bring in Anthony Davidson to the Forum, to give his insight into the race.

    I didn't miss EJ, but I think he just needs a bit of training!

    I value his insight, but he needs some lessons in TV presentation.
