How many more times will the croak voiced Dalek, James Allen, tell us during commentary that traction control has been banned this year?

One more time, and I swear I'm going to put my foot through the telly...

Yeah it's really getting on my tits too.

I think ITV take the 'everyman' aspect of the coverage a bit too far. They should commentate for the casual observer for the first and last four laps, and go super-tech for the middle bit, since only 'Proper' F1 fans like me are sad enough to want to sit through the whole thing.

And another one. Every time it looks like it might be a wet race, and it's "And wet conditions would favour the smoother drivers, especilly Jenson Button".

I used to watch them all - but they are way too long now and just 3 sprints (always will be too much over taking in the pits until tyre changing and refuelling is banned, now).

Went to B&G 2/3's in. It was obvious SOD All would cahnge in the last 1/2 hour (this is time I WILL NOT GET BACK.

Competing at any level beat watching this stuff.

If is best recorderd and watched at high speed, just slowing for the crash and th occasioanl over take.

Mind Better now TC is gone! (Dull as SH&T b4).

Definately. Very good suggestion.
