F1

Post by DaiRees »

F1 is going back to the BBC next season then. I wonder how much they paid for that? :?

I think ITV's coverage has improved dramatically in recent years, just hope the Beeb keep up the good work.

Still, at least there'll be no more commercial breaks just as it's getting interesting! :cheesy: :lol: 8)

Totally agree there Dai! The beeb didn't do a bad job when they had it years ago.

"The f*ck for that" is precisely what I said this morning when I was watching News 24th while scoffing a bowl of fruit n fiber.

The one thing I absolutely detest about ITVs coverage is the Commercial Breaks. They don't do it for ANY other sport.
And they always miss the best moments. We get a small replay, if we're lucky.

Well done Auntie... I hope they bring back that excellent theme tune they used in the good ol' days with Murray Walker.


Classic!

Blimey... I just realised... its been 11 years since the Beeb had F1. F*ck me I feel SO old now!

Watching F1 is boring.

Football is boring.

Cricket, Tennis, Rugby all boring.

Watching Touring Cars, Rallying and Superbikes is not boring.

Cheers for that Puglover. I think you'll find however that the BTCC is on ITV4 on Sunday, not ITV1. Starts at 12:30 and finishes at 17:30. The highlights show is on ITV1 on 1st April at 00:50 to 01:45.

I'm also addicted to the WRC. 8)

I don't watch the Superbikes but I do watch the Moto GP, they're at Jerez in Spain this weekend. It's on from 12:30 to 14:00 on BBC2 on Sunday (race starts at 13:00).


I hear what you're saying Welly, I dunno what the appeal is with F1, but I'm hooked :P :oops: .

Crashes and full-contact racing rule! Are there still Volvo estates racing in BTCC?
