BBC F1 coverage - RETARDS!

[k-ink]

Thanks for switching to BBC2 half way through the race. Millions of people watching this on replay have now missed the race. Thanks so much.

Give the F1 rights to ITV. Or even any random children's TV channel. I'm sure they'll make a better job of it.

Just one of those unfortunate things really, think they've done a very good job so far in my opinion.

BBC iPlayer??

[Flanders.]

Because they didn't go on about it all the way through the race.

A) If you really wanted to watch it you would have watched it live.
B) Its repeated later today.
C) its on Iplayer

BBC make a much better job of it then ITV ever did, no commercial brakes and the EJ/DC/ Jake humphry combo is great.

If you were that worried you could have gotten up to watch it live, then you would have known.

Just watch it on iPlayer

The iPlayer coverage isnt right at the moment, its been uploaded but if you skip to the end they're only halfway through the race. Hoping this gets adjusted when the coverage finishes on BBC2.

Very well said. MB is great too. Legard is useless though!!

Not in full, missing all the build up(as usual for the afternoon repeat of 6am start GP). Also isn't the race now longer than 2h15m?

I was watching it on catch up, and even I heard them say there will be a switch over. So did a 32x speed watch of the safety car periods. Caught up 2 mins befire the change over.

Yes, because it is so difficult to press the "channel up" button on your remote control, isn't it?

The only thing farcical was the 1 hour plus delay.

On the other hand it is very difficult for my pvr to automatically change channels when it doesn't know about the change.

I usually watch the Andrew Marr program, but is it really so important that they couldn't have transferred that to BBC2 instead?
