I must say that ITVs coverage is back to its C**P coverage with all these adverts, coming in at the wrong moment.

thay wouldn't put them in a footy match during a penalty shoot out

You can't blame ITV for taking breaks and the something interesting happens during it. It's where you've got something interesting happening THEN they take the break...and I doubt they will do that again.

Saying that, motor sport is not the kind of game you can take breaks in, so either ITV should take breaks before and after but not during (like the footie), run a 5 minute delay so the director knows when to take the break or give it back to Beeb.

soory but you can blame ITV for taking adverts, they don't have to put them in during the race.

I mean the drivers press briefing wasn't in the main programme but is being put (I guess) in the highlights show 11:55pm to 12:55am, and a I'm at work early tomorrow I aint going to be able to stay you that late.

All ITV care about is making money from the ads and don't care about their viewers

this race was worth it for 2 reasons - David Coulthard's comment on how he would use his pit lane limiter in the future - and the subject of his comment in a live interview, later

You can't really blame him, though, he can't see what's behind him in that situation and it's the "lollipop man" at the front (usually the senior mechanic IIRC) who has to make the decision.

Unfortunately we didn't get to see a repeat of the incident during the main race, so it's hard to say more.

Actually they do, because it's in their contract with the advertisers who are paying for exactly that.

sorry I didn't see this until just now - I've sent you a pm

Does anyone else think that this business with the Michelin tyres, at Indanapolis is a total farce. I cannot believe the FIA are basically saying it is for Michelin to sort out, but if any team uses a replacement tyre, they may be penalised.

- I would have thought swapping to new tyres just before a race would be a disadvantage, and given there appears to be a safety issue, that should take priority....

paulyoung666 · 19-06-2005, 17:37

for me , the whole issue of running 1 set and being penalised is a joke

, is it going to take someone being killed for this to get sorted out

AndrewJ · 19-06-2005, 17:38

rules being made by people who have never been in a f1 car nor ever will be, nor have ever raced one or even know the slightest thing about the car and its dynamics should never be able to change a rule which affects the car in such a way.

absolutely - Bernie Ecclestone said yesterday there would be 'no way' the race wouldn't run - but, from what the FIA have said & the teams reaction. it is still a possibility that some cars may not race, or will do one lap & retire.

- the way this sport is run needs a major shakeup

good point

Isn't it stupid of the michellin teams ... why they are screwing the race for everybody else ... just get on with it. I love racing and i am quite shocked to see whats going on just couple of minutes before it begins. save the race, keep the faith.
