Are you glad this weekend is the last F1 race on ITV?

May be...

  • im glad its going back to the bbc.as long as james allan stays with itv
  • Glad and relieved. ITV have got a whole load of rights for live football coverage next year and, if F1 had stayed with them, the football would have been given priority. Personally, I can't stand football and would hate to have to wait for Numpty United to finish 0-0 away against Chumpton City before getting an edited F1 race - still with adverts - after the event.

    The BBC doesn't have rights to anything else to clash with F1 and can be expected to give it every accommodation. Plus, Bernie has already said the old theme tune will be coming back so that's that.
  • Next year the BBC get it back ... ITV do an okjob but I'll be glad to watch a race without adverts every 8 laps. (Not that it's that exciting!)
  • Yep back on the Beeb good news
  • Yes and No

    Yes: No James Allen (Well sometimes he is okay)
    No Louise and Ted


    No: Like the Ad they put and the Replays they show after
    Good Memories with ITV


    But with DC and Brundle commentating it should be fun, But with Murray, it would be better
  • you can watch it also online for free on http://www.LiveStream.us.tt
  • I am an aussie the local station currently rebroadcasts the ITV feed.

    Since they do not normally deal with the BBC and have a relationship with the US's Speed TV --- I am worried about not getting the BBC but Speed TV's ....argghhhh

    We used toget the BBC's and MW was a genius ..
  • People all too easily forget how BAD the BBC coverage used to be, compared to what ITV have given us fans over recent years.

    ITV have improved the coverage by an order of magnitude. At times the BBC didn't always show races/qualifying live, we'd be outraged now.

    ITV have done a good job. Yes, some of them annoy the hell out of us, but overall we can really only complain about those damn adverts.

    Good job ITV, hope there's EVEN BETTER to come from Auntie Beeb.
  • No, the ads give a break to go for tea or pee without missing a rare bit of real action, since they will replay any incident that happens during the ad break, and they tend to avoid taking a break at a critical point.

    I would like the classic F1 theme back though, hope the BBC still have the rights to that, you can't beat that bass line.
  • i think itv was good especially martin brundles pit walks cos they made me laugh but i think it will probably be better on bbc, i did like the links itv had with couthard and hamilton but it was quite bias towards the british drivers and i think bbc will be more open with how it perceives talent, plus if the keep "the chain" by fleetwood mac as the title music then im sure everyone will be happy lol BRING BACK MURRAY WALKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
  • Much as the adverts haven't been as disruptive as I thought they would be, I'm rather glad it's going back to the Beeb. At least we get the 'Nigel Mansel' sig. tune back instead of Three Blind Mice (listen!!) I'm waiting to see who's going to be involved with the commentating before I'll be totally happy however. Incidentally I'm not so sure the Beeb is going to be 'unbiased' (going by recent programmes .....)guess the character price
