Totally agree with you. The sooner F1 goes to Sky Sports the better. At least Sky know how to cover sports properly ! |

And at around lap 40/70 we had the white honda safety car as noted by MB. Cut to adverts and it's switched to the normal silver merc. What happened there then? |

I expect we have all been furious when our own favourite program has been axed or postponed because another program has over run. What I do object to is the lack of uniformity. If it had been a football match that had over run then ITV would have stuck with the football. -- Paul Giverin British Jet Engine Website http://www.britjet.co.uk |

Just complained to OFCOM - <URL:http://ofcom.org.uk/complain/progs/specific/?itemid=286480> as I presume complaining direct to ITV will have no effect. Copy of the details for anyone else - Programme title: F1: Canadian Grand Prix Live Date(s) & time(s) of broadcast: 10/06/07 17:00 Channel / station: ITV1 Subject: Inaccurate promotion Description: Steve Rider stated that the driver interviews would be shown on the 23:50 highlights programme. They were not. His statement was inaccurate. Daytona |

Fair comment but the late re-run could have easily shown them as I suspect only F1 nutters would have been watching and only the phone quiz idiots would complain.

A shame after Heidfeld/BMW Sauber had been so strong all weekend and Wurz has only been on the podium twice before. -- Ian Edwards |
