After watching yesterdays 'race', I'm tending to agree.
The tweaking of the rules has done nothing to improve the spectacle, they need to sort things out so that overtaking is, at least, possible, be it 'push to pass', steel brakes, aerodynamic changes, whatever, something needs to be done, and fast.

Re: Formula 1 2006 Season
Are you kidding? The last 2 seasons have been the closest in years, although the 'golden boy' Kimi kept blowing his chances and his team kept blaming it on his engine.. first time I've ever seen an abused and flat-spotted tyre blamed on a crap engine but meh. At least Schumacher has a chance of competing with Alonso this year, oh and to all those who say Schumi has lost it, he's been head to head with Alonso what? 4 times this year and Won twice.
I watched A1 GP and found it to be sh*t... they promised more overtaking than F1 and it has failed spectacularly to deliver based on what I have seen. I'd rather watch that american oval borefest.
Grand Prix Masters was good though, Go Mansell, shame BBC only had that one race and not the 2006 series.

Re: Formula 1 2006 Season
After watching the S***e coverage of the US GP, and subsequent lack of results I complained to ITV (I've blood pouring out of my mouth where I have bitten my lip.)
Quote:
"Why did you bother to show the US GP you where either in an advert or plugging the world cup match, there was no results shown after the race. The Qualifing was a joke shown so late.
Like last weeks Canada GP nearly twenty minutes where spent in adverts.
Well thank you and goodbye, I'll get Sky installed an switch over to A1GP, as they don't have any adverts during a race"

Does anybody know the details of that idepentant body that you can compain to?

Re: Formula 1 2006 Season
well you can try ofcom and also the Dity office at ITV check the ITV web site for their e-mail address
the qualifying was on live but they put it on ITV 4 .. if you ever can't find it on ITV 1 always have a check through all their channels or just ask on here if it's being shown live

I also noticed that it ended somewhat suddenly this afternoon - presumably as more people would complain about Coronation Street being further delayed than would about not getting the F1 press conference afterwards.
I'd really love to see F1 without ads too - on the basis that there would be riots in the streets if ITV plonked an adbreak in the middle of play of an England football game.

Re: Formula 1 2006 Season
I am sure I remember ITV pledging never to show ads in the middle of a race when they took over F1. In fact, for a couple of seasons, IIRC, they did cut out the ads in the middle of the race, and simply had one long ad break at the end.

Re: Formula 1 2006 Season
no there has always been 5 ads during the race although in the last one there was 6.. the ads are even longer now though and at the start of each ad we get the swiftcover sponsor plus the ITV F1 bit too. i already know i'm watching ITV they don't have to tell me
could be worse just watched the boxing and they had an ad break in all bar 3 of the rounds

Re: Formula 1 2006 Season
Monty has gone replaced by De la Rosa
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/moto...ne/5168206.stm
shame really as he's one of the few drivers who will overtake on the track just shows were F1 is if a racer is kicked out and all those who just "wait for the stops" are still there

I know what you mean, but I also felt that recently the level of frustration was making him take that to a level, which was becoming dangerous. I think De la Rosa will be a much better team player.

Re: Formula 1 2006 Season
JPM is a quick racer - no doubts abut that, its his lack of consistency that fails him. I thought that when he moved to McLaren, him and Kimi would have blown the competition away, but only Kimi has.
Good luck to JPM in his new role.

Re: Formula 1 2006 Season
De la Rosa is a known quantity though we all know what he can and can't do.. i'd rather see Gary Parfett given a few races and would be even better to see Lewis Hamilton goven a few races after the GP2 season is over too
