Does anyone know what happened to the coverage of the Sunday morning warm-up which ITV promised us?
I tried contacting itv-f1.com but since the updated the site, none of the email addresses work. |

You must have been mistaken, itv never promised LIVE Warm up. All's they said was that they would show anything that happened in warm up, ie in a 20 second highlights program before the race. If anyone has got satellite you can watch it on RTL the German channel, at 8:15am-9:15am on sunday morning.

You could be right. I just remember them saying something about showing sunday warm-up.
I will dig the tape out to see exactly what was said. |

The comment made by Jim Rosenthal was as follows:
"Our new agreement includes coverage of sunday warm-up" I interpreted this at the time to mean that they were going to show the warm-up. I guess it could just mean that Bernie will let them have the tape if they want it. Quite why they have decided not to show it is a mystery to me. |

Because the time they could use showing warm-up is now spent buffooning on about Button and the Jaguars.
Grrrrrrrrr !!!!! |

Oh yeah, and talking to Olivier Panis (who uses the phrase 'but, seriously' far too much), and talking about Euro2k too.
Have a look at the pre-race coverage and count how many times Olivier says 'seriously' - quite ridiculous |

Personally I preferred James Allen's calmer approach.
I know that Murray is a motorsport icon but his screaming and repetitive style ("lap 41, lap42,lap43,lap44,lap45,etc" grates on me for two hours. I thought that JA and MB were a well informed double act that enhanced the race. James Allen's strategy knowledge coupled with Martin's drivers eye viewpoint made for a good commentary. I am sure nobody would admit it, but I bet the powers that be at ITV thought the same. You know what they say Murray, never let somebody step into your shoes, they might be a better fit......... |

James and Martin were good but watching the race without Murray's high - pitched squeal was very odd.
GO GO GO !!!! |
