F1 2012 & the BBC

[hard top]

I now that this is old news but just thought I would check BBC live coverage this year.
Pitiful is all I can say.... :-q

(Bahrain will probably not happen, again)

This means that I will be watching the circus live on Dutch TV and put up with the bloody adverts..... X(

Rant over.

I've found it frustrating watching a 2 hour race with adverts, and it does rather take the edge off the excitement! It's such a shame the Beeb can't afford to cover the whole season. Nothing worse than getting to an exciting bit, and then having to watch an advert.

As for Raikkonen possibly returning it's nice to see some old faces coming back, perhaps we should dust off Mansell next?

F1 2012 & the BBC

I wish they would do the ads in the uk like they do here. They either have extra cgi signage on the side of the track or put up logos in the corner of the screen so that the coverage is never interrupted.

The cgi stuff is really good and looks like big signs on the side of the circuit but you just see them moving ever so slightly as the camera pans following the cars.
