I also like Steve Matchett's expertise.

I personally like Speed better. I cannot stand it when Vic Router (sp?) (from TSN)sticks his nose in. I just like Varsha and crew better. Especially when David Hobbs puts in his sound effects LOL.

Not me. I dislike hearing the Speed crew(except Steve) and I like the ITV one. I like listening to Martin and James even thogh james is kinda not on. I agree about Vic Router TSN doesn't need that segment at all.
Steve was the rear jack man on Verstappen's Benetton when it erupted in a giant fireball, and was pulled to safety by a mechanic from the team behind them in the pitlane. Steve was an opponent of refuelling from the get-go, and the fire vindicated him. I've read all 3 of his books. The 3 that I know of, that is.

Totally agree, ITV is beyond a joke.

I learned long ago never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.

ITV have pay the cost of having the rights to broadcast f1 in the UK. Sure their timing of ad breaks could be better but they have to have ads during the show otherwise f1 would end up on sky sports and no one wants that!

The best car safety device is a rear-view mirror with a cop in it - Dudley Moore

To the American fans - do you guys get ad breaks like that?

Yup, we sure do. SpeedTV had the worst timing today for missing events.

cant be worse than ITV1

I missed Hamilton with the engine problem, Nakajima hitting his crew, Kovalainnen (sp?) cutting off Yakamoto and various other battles. Now fortunatly, TSN in Canada covers the race also. They were on different commercail breaks then Speed was. Speed is usually pretty good, however it was frustrating to watch today with their bad timing and other features they did rather than the race.

wow, i'm gob-snacked...looks like Speed TV is worse than ITV O_O
