Just seen the advert for the Australian GP on ITV. It's a good advert, but someone needs to tell ITV that it's not a one man show...

[woody2goody]

I wonder when we will get the first instance of one of the ITV people being 'surprised' that Heikki has outqualified/beaten Lewis. It's going to be such a big deal to them it'll either make me laugh or cry. How dare anyone beat our precious Lewis?

[Denthúl]

I'd love for him to do it in Melbourne, actually. But I'm not sure that will happen, unfortunately. And I haven't yet seen the advert for it, but I probably will some time soon.

In Sunday’s live show:

* A summary of the new team line-ups and regulations

* Louise talks to embattled McLaren boss Ron Dennis

* We spotlight the new venues in Valencia and Singapore

* Steve Rider talks to Anthony Hamilton

* Qualifying review and grid rundown

* Martin’s on-board track guide to Albert Park

* Lewis and Heikki talk to each other about the season ahead

* Win a trip to the British GP in our competition

* All the usual interviews, reaction and analysis

Nothing but Mclaren and Lewis, and these interviews will probably last 30 mins each!!

well it wasnt like that in quali. all the british drivers were interviewed

The best F1 coverage I've ever seen was in the middle of an African country called Uganda!

They picked up SuperSport from South Africa via sattelite and they covered all the practice sessions, quali, the race and tons of interviews and documentaries. It was similar to F1 Digital Plus we had on Sky for that one sweet year.

To top it all off there were no add breaks, every 10 mins or so the screen would reduce from the bottom right corner by 25 percent and an ad was shown in the free space, so you had uninterrupted coverage.

It's a joke that F1's industry is predominantly british and the coverage over here is so limited.

Are we gonna be subjected to that Sony/Iron Maiden thing twice every ad break for the entire season?

I hope so. No, seriously, as much as I like Iron Maiden, hearing five seconds worth of the song every so often is slightly annoying.

Is it just me, or do ITV/F1 interview Anthony Hamilton far too much. Does he own a F1 team or what. Please itv get with the programme and stop annoying us with these silly interviews.

It's not just you. He gets hundreds of times more screen time than most of the drivers.

I wouldn't have minded them speaking to him once in a while, maybe after a significant result. But before and after every race and often Quali too? Give me a freaking break

[Denthúl]

Add to that the fact that there's very little he can say that he hasn't already said, and all of it is about Lewis...which we can hear from Lewis himself anyway.
