    itv - padding out the F1 show

    why do ITV refuse to show second qualifying on any of there 3 TV channels.
    Why then do they start the show so early, yet then repeat features such as Brundles explination of tyres.
    It is Inevitable.....

    Tell me about it. It's tyresome.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    What annoys me is the placement of their graphics. The lap counter annoys the hell out of me, stick it in the corner right at the top of the screen, and scrub the F1 Logo what's the point.

    With regards to 2nd qualiy I thought it was because they only bought the rights to show the 1st session live & Ecclestone wanted to much for the 2nd session.

    As for the adverts it's because they are contractually bound to show a certain number at certain times during the race & they got it wrong this time on when to show the last adverts.

    They still musta known or could of guessed that it was gonna be a close finish. They should have down it earlier.

    Anyway... best race for many years. Shame about Kimi though, I reckon he would've won it.

    What got me was when they resumed coverage and at one point said...

    "Michael Schumacher has won...


    ...lap left to try and overtake Alonso."

    Dramatic pauses can be so misleading.

    I'm not a Schumacher fan, but I was really hoping he would win this race after he started tearing the course up the last 20 or so laps. PS: I don't recall an advert break near the end (granted, I wasn't watching it on ITV).
