I hear that...the only downer (for me) is the loss of James Allen, but at least Martin Brundle's still there. And actually, it's slightly annoying that the BBC doesn't have commercial breaks. Good if you're in the UK, but we tend to miss stuff because of course TSN has to take breaks. At least with the ITV coverage, they could synchronize the breaks. But kudos to TSN for carrying BBC's quali coverage, and also leaving the race on half the screen during the commercial breaks.

The ITV Louise chick was a bit annoying I thought, I much prefer the new female pit reporter with her different accent, slightly Irish I think?

i hate this period during the season whem fox airs the races. their announcer calls them like a horse race, a bit to excitable for me. is there anyway to get the bbc coverage on line? otherwise im waiting for the speed replay which is a few days later.

Speed.

Also, I think some people are getting the Fox coverage confused with CBS showing F1 races a few years ago. Since Fox owns Speed, I'm pretty sure they use the same Speed crew for the F1 races, they're just tape delayed.
