F1 on Channel 4
Discussion
I really enjoyed the Channel 4 coverage of the qualifying.
Steve Jones did an excellent job considering it was his first GP, and a million times better than Suzi Perry ever was.
I enjoyed the exclusive interviews with Lewis, Toto and Horner after the qualifying.
The music was great throughout the program, and the program ran just as smoothly as anything Sky F1 have produced.
If anything it was better than Sky, as there was less pointless chat.
Well done C4 F1.

There are adverts in the race? Stupid!
It is only the highlights that will have adverts. When Channel 4 have live coverage the race will be advert free. And how is it stupid? By their very nature highlights are delayed, so even if they showed the full race unedited they can still insert ad breaks without you missing any action. Yes, it's disruptive, but on the plus side you can have a loo or tea break and not miss anything. It's not like the old ITV days where you missed action because they cut to the adverts at inappropriate times.

I can deal with it on repeated highlights, as long as the live races are ad free.
In other news, how the f
k did Alonso walk away from that. Insane.
He was lucky that it was a long accident. If he hadn't surfed the wall for a hundred metres with bits of the car absorbing energy as they broke off it would have been a lot worse.In other news, how the f
k did Alonso walk away from that. Insane.You're right about the ads on the highlights I think; it's not like we're missing anything important (in this case 20 minutes of red flag).
Oh, and those advertsYeah, adverts are a pain, but then how else do C4 pay to make the programme. So it doesn't bother me.
This is the very reason I don't have sky, you pay top money for their programmes, yet still have to suffer adverts. In my opinion they can't have it both ways.
For me the C4 coverage was fine, not perfect, but far far better than I thought it was going to be.
9/10 from me.
