BBC coverage was great but I cannot wait till next weekend when I will have Sky again it also meant I have had to avoid this place through the morning and will have to do the same tommorow, and watching a race is not the same without Not606!
Maybe this was the real reason behind the delay in qualifying. Race Control had no control over the cars DRS and therefore unsafe in the wet.
The BBC intro (not suzi perry even though that was good) was flipping great , very creative how they meshed the real life stuff with cgi reminded me of driven the film lol and also the old clips of f1 legends and cars revving up,tension between rivals (loved the shot of ham and button) was just a real nice surprise . Coverage was descent ,commentry as great as always obviously suzi perry was abit monotone but its her first gp so i would give her the benefit of the doubt.
The only thing I dislike about the BBC coverage is Ben Edwards. He gets too excited about the smallest of things, I don't like him as a commentator. Suzi Perry was alright and as for Eddie Jordan not turning up until China is ridiculous. It seems he only wants to be a pundit when the cameras are live, pretty poor from him unless he has a valid excuse.
Hmmm that works out well, I assume that they'll finish before the race at 6am, so instead of the awful sky build up I can watch q2 and 3
Yeah he needs to calm down he went way too mental when Pic of all people went off, treating it like one of the front runners had gone out.
Ben Edwards is brilliant, he is way better than James Allen or the cock teasers in Sky. He brings passion into his commentating, makes the racing come alive on the screen. Sky this morning was appalling. Was like watching countdown.
If someone has an oversteer moment he creams his pants. I don't mind him being enthusiastic about overtaking and big incidents in the race etc. It's just small incidents in which he should relax a little more.
This is our longest ever race thread, toppling the classic 2011 Canadian GP, and we haven't even had qualifying yet.
