Fully agree Mate, the qality has dropped over the years, the sport is getting alot btter, the coverage is getting worse.

[EwanM]

Well what ever channel it is. I'm not bothered by Brits supporting Brits, but the BBC will do a better job. Take Moto Gp, they don't rant on bout the likes of Toseland.

whats to rant on about him anyway

Double World Superbike Champion. I no wt ur on about. He needs a few season tho, hardly knows the circuits etc.

i was only stirring i know he has the goods! motogp is becoming alot like F1 where its harder for the rider to make the difference as it once was, more about the Bikes now than ever before! i mean they drop the 990's and still have traction control!! wimps i tell ya! its screwed over Nicky Hayden aswell he thrived on the 990cc!

ur rite there. I don't like it in that way. I mean I like MOTO GP alot, but like as u seen in Catalunya yesterday Stoner only got past due to the strength of his bike, not a move he made... Rossi on the other hand... mind you again due to the handling.

I watched the Isle of Man TT the last week, now thts class.

Moto Gp is awsome, do any of you watch Indy??? thats Awome, one driver who would benefit from Formula One there is Scott Dixon!!! he a fantastic driver!!!! also Brunno Senna will join Formula One, and he will take the sport by storm! i think that's Mclaren next choice of driver!!! now thats a Mclaren Driver i would love to support!

[stonemonkey]

It's not like football (international) where generally fans from that country support their own team and the commentary from country to country reflects that I know and as far as F1 fans go some peoeple prefer to support teams and others support drivers irrespective of where they come from themselves myself included although I do want the British teams and drivers to do well (especially the Scottish although I could never really get behind McNish somehow, good driver in other racing but F1 was never for him) and while the current commentary is all pretty sickening to listen to I have no problem with British commentary being biased towards British teams/drivers and think it's just silly to expect anything else, likewise with Spanish/Finnish/(German for the past decade and a half)/Australian/Polish/Italian/Brazilian or wherever else in the world commentary, I wouldn't expect them not to get behind their own teams/drivers and to come out with any of that being racist is pretty stupid.

[Snuggles]

I fully agree my friend, i do support english drivers, but the reason for me being against Lewis Hamilton isn't me being racist, it's the way he is, and the way he presents himself, i support many drivers, mainly Ferrari, but the way they are against Ferrari discusts me, they don't speak much of them? and when the Canadian GP grid walk took place, who talked to Martin Brundel? Felipe Massa!!!! he's the man with a big grin, who will cheer you all up!!!! so rather than being selfish idiots, look at other drivers!!! rather than the start of the sport just showing British drivers? its a world wide sport, and i'm sure BBC will give us all a nice variety of diferent drivrs i love it when i see Massa on screen, in press confrences he has a huge grin on his face, and it makes the race more exciting, i love it whn you see Kimi talkin, because i know its hard to get a word out of him, but he's the champion for pete's sake!! he will have more knowledge than anybody? so thats my views i know Mclaren fans love to see Lewis give us all a nice preview of the Candian GP, but he bores me....Atleast Massa Cracks a few jokes?

[stonemonkey]

I know what you mean but I think it's tough for Martin to get to talk to most of the drivers on the grid, to be honest I'm surprised there's any that do so close to the start of the race but Kimi is one that's always done what he can to avoid anything like that. Just be happy it's not James Allen doing the gridwalk.

[Snuggles]

In'it!! i know it's hard to talk to Kimi, but he's a man of knowledge and yes i know, James Allen has to be the commentator to go!!! i hate his Attitude, the only decent comment i have ever herd is when Schumi won one of the titles...but cor blimey....anyone else wins it's not happeneing...Leiws wins lets all throw a party...in Football as you clearly said they are all fair, and they all treat each team with the right amount of respect, if someone scores whether they support them or not, they still cheer, thats how it should be, but when Kimi won the title, goshhh....he just like & Kimi has won the Drivers world championship...no emotion :evi:

[stonemonkey]

in Football as you clearly said they are all fair, and they all treat each team with the right amount of respect, if someone scores whether they support them or not, they still cheer

Ah... no, that's not quite what I was meaning.
In international football the fans are generally fans of their own countries team and biased commentary fits into that whereas in F1 the fans quite often don't support teams/drivers of their own nationality which doesn't go down so well with a biased commentary (wonders if there's any Hamilton fans in Spain?) but I don't think there's anything wrong with some bias towards British drivers in the British broadcasts and likewise in any other country.

[Snuggles]

I fully agree with that too!!! i love some British F1 Drivers, and alot of British drivers, i support Jenson, i only wish he could Jump to the Horses? but that won't happen any time soon, i think the BBC wil all give us everything we need and desire? but if i have to see Hamilton printed all over the BBC screen i'm learning Italian and getting the Italian F1 channel cause the only commentator who i tihkn is not biased and is equal is Mark Blundell!! and everyone else is biast.....another person who i really miss is Jim!!!

[Kiwi_Chris]

Im sure the italian commentators are gonna be less biased and not be worshipping the red cars i mean italians would never be emotional or biased in sport would they.

[Snuggles]

lmaooo yer exacly matey you know ittt least i'll see all red thats the best picture i can ever see

[dant]

The thing that does my head in is they show a stupidly long build up to the race but they wont do a full post race press conference, roll on the BBC.

[Kiwi_Chris]

Yes as much as i love brundles pre race pieces some of the inane chatter thay have filling in the time is terrible, and having the same host for F1 and for test cricket just doesnt sit well with me at all

[EwanM]

JAMES ALLEN = LEGEND THO!

[Snuggles]

Ohh yeah i fully agree..the press confrence if Lewis is first, Lewis how was the race etc, Ferrari maybe 2nd and 3rd, thats it they cut them off and i have to go on the website and watch the whole press confrence?
