I have been following F1 for many many years and when I it was going back to the BBC I was glad for one reason - the annoying commercial breaks on ITV.
Today I am watching the rerun of the Aus F1, and what a truly poor program.
It started of with literally no lead in whatsoever. Literally no mention of qualifying and what happened, the covers were off within the first 5 min of the program and they were off !!!!
Considering that this was the first race of the season, nothing on the new rules...no info at all, no driver interviews, nothing !
The new commentator is absolutely rubbish....he commentated the start like he was commentating a horse race and he was useless for the rest of the race.....absolutely no life in the guy for the rest of the race, and to be honest just blabbering.
Even Martin Brundle doesn't sound very happy any more.
I truly hope that things change in the way they handle this as I don't think the deserve to air these races if this is the way they intend to do it.
They have not even attempted to match the quality of the ITV program.
