no doubt. we had a chance to see MS make more passes in a single race then he makes in a season but Malaya tv gave two hours of RS driving on a empty track. what was that all about? |

I honestly don't know how the Speed Channel announcers do it. They're calling a race that is occuring in Malaysia from a television studio in Connecticut. They do a pretty good job of quickly identifying cars that go off, etc. considering that they are working off of the same feed we're watching. They probably have additional resources we don't know about, but still, they're pretty quick on their feet considering everything. |

While I am not crazy about speedvision, they cannot be blamed for the pics which come from the world feed not their own production trucks |

I agree. Even ABC could have done a better job. The new Speed Channel commentator is terrible. I should have slept and watched the tape. It HAS to get better than this ! |

Yeah, good old bernie, who controls the "world feed" which is left to some local production crew which probably does the F-1 race and cricket matches the rest of the year. terrible. |

Couldn't agree with you more...I was at the track, naturally when I was there I had no idea what was going on. So I came home to catch the replay....AND STILL HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON! |

Was it just me or was that the most awefull TV coverage of an F1 race ever?
How many actual pitstops did we get to see? And the start,...........that was terrible, even the replay!
I hung out till 3 am, after that, i was all done for, never got to see final stages, will have to wait for the encore.
I just hope the Brazilian GP has better TV coverage.
