It SUCKED in the summer to have 3 races broadcast 6-7hours after the fact (in the afternoon), which means on Sunday you don't want to get on the computer because you don't want to risk spoiling the race and then to have the broadcast shortened down. Price cermony is edited short (no champagne spray etc, and only first question to the winner in the interview afterwards then DONE..). Fox sucked the last few years. However same commentators on Fox a SpeedTV. One other thing that is irritating is the ~10min qualification delay (not live). If you check timing and scoring live online you know before it shown on TV. Of course way to impress your friends not knowing your Iphone App ;) I HATE the delayed asian races all to give a better time for the Europeans (like they couldn't get up to watch a COUPLE the race at 10am when I have to almost entire season get up to watch at 7 or 8am?). Before they started to mess with the Asian/Australian race times I could simply just stay up little later on Sat and watch the race at 1 or 2am then go to bed and sleep in. Now delaying the race 3-4 hours that means if I want to watch the race I get up at 5/6am.. :( At least we have 1 more race in "our" time zone area now with Canada race in 2010. Looking forward to see what fun stuff SpeedTV might do with videos online (live streaming perhaps???!!)

I always got the fealing that the drivers disliked Peter on the grid walk(unlike the BBC guy) but with him being a team pricipal this year I'm guessing someone else will be taking his spot. Howevever I did like the other shows that speed had for each weekend(inside GP and GP in review) these were nice to learn a little something you may have missed. BBC's race commentary can be be long winded at times cause they have to cater partially to the radio audience though, didn't like that to much.

In the U.K. we get a choice of commentators between tv and radio on the red button, we also get a choice of video feeds such as tv feed, in car feed etc. we get easily the best coverage in the world. plus there is all the online stuff the bbc do and live coverage of all three practice sessions via red button.
