Because F1 doesn't have half time?

They don't in football because they wait and have 2/3 during half time. F1 does have a 15 mins break after 45 mins of racing, so it can't be done.
As I have already said, I like ad breaks, cos I get to go to the toilet or make a drink. ITV1 hardly misses any action. It may miss the add passing move, but as it local provider usually misses the passing moves going on in the field, how can we say ITV1 miss everything? You can only blame them during the British GP, which they control (don' they as its their home race?) |

My point is that ITV gives football much worse treatment than F1 and I think its out of order considering that only the Olympics and World Cup get higher worldwide TV audiences than a GP.
Plus, I love me F1! |

I can't stand ad breaks, I want to see every second of the race coverage and it really irritates me when I have to put up with 3 minute+ ad breaks. Especially during a live race. I'd would definently pay 12 pounds (whatever the currency conversion is into AUD) to have digital coverage with no ad breaks.
FFS Foxtel! Get the coverage! |
