Formula 1 coverage in India sucks big time !

Tell us why ?

Many many reasons some of them are
1) They have commercials at time of pit stops !
2)they miss the race deciding incidents and we get to know about it by the commentator after the commercial
3)they discuss how tasty are the chicken nuggets !
4) When commentator starts to talk about a driver he forgets his hob of commenting about the race !
5)After hearing to the commentator sometimes you get the feeling "I shall mute and watch the race"
5)They skip formula 1 for tennis !!!!!
6)before start of the race they show the interviews of the drivers taken on Saturday the most frustrating thing about this is they repeat interviews concurrently two times

Well at least you can Watch the Race Live

Spanish coverage is ridiculously biased. I knew they would be, but I wasn't expecting it that much.

During FPs, they constantly have a camera outside Alonso's garage and when anything happens they cut away from the world feed and cut to it.

On race day, they start coverage at 12:00 with the race starting at 14:00 and I'd say 90 mins of the 120 are devoted to Alonso, 15 mins to Alguersuari & De La Rosa and 15 mins to the adverts But then, no post race analysis!?

I thought ITV were bad in 2007 with Hamilton but wow...

French TV was quite good, even if they had no build up to quali, but I can't believe Marion Jolles was voted the best looking woman in the pits. The Spanish woman was quite pretty...

They should rename the channel to Alonso TV.

yeah TF1 has the best Coverage after BBC, their features and analysis are pretty good.

Am I the only F1 fan in the world that likes Steve Slater?!

But their coverage does leave a lot to be desired.

Daily Mail are reporting that the BBC aren't going to renew Jonathan Legard's contract. It seems to be that Martin Brundle doesn't work well with Legard and wants a different commentator to work with. Charlie Cox has been mooted as a possible replacement.

As much as I like this news, there is one problem.

Daily Mail

Lets hope they got it right.

Track commentator Bob Constanduros also said that he heard it from other non-DM sources

Yay!!! That's made my day. Could make the last few races interesting if Legard knows he's out the door and that Brundle helped get rid of him. I await Legard finishing off the commentary in Abu Dhabi, then saying "And to finish off my reign as commentator here at the BBC" before punching Brundle in the face.
