I gave it a 9.
Lots of entertainment and action throughout the race, an unexpected people in the points.
Having brought the safety car out the red flag was the right call to avoid wasting laps.
However I […]

Button did accept the blame for hitting Karthikayan. However I thought Vettels reaction was disappointing. Not only did he stick his finger up at him during the race, in his post race interview on the BBC he […]

I think Vettels first stint, starting on hards will either be brilliant or disastrous.
If he gets off the line well, manages to hold position and the speed deficit to the cars on mediums isn’t too large he may […]

Yes, if it rains and we get a Canada style delay, or even a short red flag and a 2 hour race, then, as we now have an arbitrary 4 hour limit everyone will want to hang around and expect the race to finish. […]

Overnight figures suggest Sky averaged 874k viewers for the live race, and the BBC highlights averaged 2.73m viewers.
Figures taken from digital spy tv forum, post 235In total thats 0.5m less then the […]

I waited to actually see the race on the BBC to see if the score I wanted to give the race changed, but it didn’t.
It may be down to lack of sleep or only being able to listen to the race but I’ve only voted a […]

Overall the BBC’s coverage of the race was better then I expected or feared it to be.
I liked the brief intro before they got into the race and no time wasted wandering around on the grid. The race itself was […]

Overall I was pleasantly surprised by the highlights show.
Firstly I liked the introduction bit with the song and that it looked as if links between bits showing them in the pit lane were shot ‘live’. By […]

I’m disappointed HRT didn’t make the race as I’d like all the cars compete come Sunday, and the race between the teams at the back can be just as interesting as the race at the front.
Formula One almost needs […]

Obviously I can’t figure out links…
Never mind it’s in the f1 section on the bbc sport website if you want to look!

According to the BBC website (and Jake Humphrey on twitter) in the UK there will be a post race race “red button” F1 forum type show of “reaction and analysis” after EVERY race, whether live or not. They’ll also […]

I’d be surprised if Sky get more then a few hundred thousand since its an early start.
I think the BBC show may get around 4 or 5 million given that most casual viewers don’t have sky and the hardcore viewers […]

It was a 7 for me.
The first lap was enjoyable, but things then quietened down. Unfortunately for the entertainment value for people who want to see a battle for victory the result was almost inevitable after the […]wigster commented on the post, Hamilton: "Tomorrow's the day that counts" 10 years, 7 months ago
The understated, controlled radio made a refreshing change to the normal over the top “that’s what i’m talkin’ about” Vettel celebration. Lewis and mclaren sound as if they realise its tomorrow that really counts, […]

Interesting Analysis. My thoughts. For Red Bulls tyre saving strategy to work they’d need to make a pit stop less then the others and be close enough come the end to benefit after spending much of the race on […]

I think it depends on the exact nature of the deal as to whether MB and DC jump ship to Sky. If both have separate teams and the BBC still send a full team to each race and the BBC show full reruns of each race then I think Martain Brundle and David Coulthard will stay as their jobs will hardly change really. If Sky and BBC pool resources and…[Read more]
