I find that I turn off the FOX coverage, and watch the ITV webstream.

You deal with it, though, especially since they've kept the familiar Speed announcers this year, rather than using Derek Daly and that other fool who were unbearable last year during FOX's coverage.
You deal with it, that is, until today when they cut to a commercial break on the final lap before the 2nd place car finishes the damn race! We didn't have a --- podium yet before these assholes treated it all as over. I realize the gap between 1st and 2nd was big - and by the way, nice drive by Hamilton; now run along, run along - but, how in the world can that decision be made? YOU DO NOT BREAK FOR AN ADVERTISEMENT IN THE ULTIMATE MOMENT OF A SPORTING EVENT! It shouldn't even be an option. Damn!
I'm not looking forward to Hockenheim. More FOX "coverage."
Sorry for the little rant.

When it moves back to SPEED, I may revert, but even tho everyone hates James Allen, I really haven't heard anything from him in the last 3 races that really stood out. He is obviously a Brit-driver-fan, but overall, he isn't as bad as I have read on the boards.

well he spun 15 times just to make sure his team got the point that he needed the correct tyres - must have been lost in translationaxle wrote:Can someone explain to me why, when Massa was at the tail of the field, they didn't pull him in and just try full wets? It's utter madness IMO. He was a danger to himself on those tyres. Surely they noticed Ruben's times and realised they could make back any pitstop deficit?!

I only just saw it and I know Raikkonen is one of those guys who likes to get in the zone on the grid, but that's a little un-called for. Imagine how people would react if Lewis or any other driver did that.
Judging by the comments on the video Raikkonen fans actually praise him for this...
