Its hard to beleive but true, no live quali and the race is being shown 12hrs later!

How is this helping to raise the sports profile...?

It's no big deal - only the title decider and the last race of Schumacher's career.

I reckon the quali is live on ITV4, and the race live on ITV @ 18.00 on Sunday?

Just don't listen to the radio at all on Sunday.

censoreds only ever report on motorsport when it's a spoiler.

yes 5:30 ITV4 Saturday evening, live qualifying (which starts at 6pm) so we only get 1/2 hour of bollox before the action this time.

Please except my apologises itv and all concerned on here!!

For some strange reason I thought the tv times were the same as Suzuka, early in the morning.
This is not the case as just pointed out.
It is amazing though that within 5minutes there were 7 replies...

There's a programme about Schumacher on ITV...on Monday...late in the evening...for half an hour! so make that 20 mins with ads...20 mins to cover 15 years...

I bet if it was a soccer player it would go on for 10 episodes...rolleyes

Damn and I haven't even been drinking wine this evening. I would have sworn it said on the advert earlier this evening it was 12.30 on the Saturday.

You must live in Australia, we don't get any quali coverage, and even the races in our timezone (eg China) are shown in the middle of the night! Japan GP should have been shown as soon as Bathurst finished, but no, they filled 2 hours with an ancient movie then showed the GP at midnight!!

Indeed, it would be no surprise if Douglas Gordon and Philippe Parreno made a conceptual art movie of him. They could film an entire GP only focusing on Schuey from several angles, slow-mo replays, with hardly any attention on the others involved in the competition even though they may be in the lead. scratchchin
