ITV/F1 coverage, farging iceholes
Discussion
So - excitement is pretty rare in F1 these days - so given that Shoemaker had put on a fantastic charge, and caught Alonso - a demons battle in progress and with only 5 laps to go (i.e. 6+ minutes) those geniuses as ITV decide it's a great time for a commercial break!
Once the ads are over they are actually on the last lap!
Tossers.

wish SKY had the coverage .
ITV and BBC are naff at sports coverage.
10 years out of date.
At least BBC wouldn't have felt the urge to cut to a commercial at the most exciting part of the race!
You don't see American broadcasters doing that, and they have more adverts than anyone else on the planet!
ITV fooked it up, big time. I hope the guy who made that call gets a strip ripped off him later today.
ITV's coverage or Lack of it, of today's GP was disgusting.
Cutting to adverts with just 3laps to go of what was the closest finish to a GP in years - was beyond belief.
For those in the know, we can swap over to Radio 5's excellent coverage on SKY - and I'm sure anyone left watching the adverts was cursing not only ITV but also all the advertisers.
ITV doesn't deserve F1 coverage and I hope someone wakes up to this soon !
I swapped over to Radio 5 Live on SKY so didn't see who advertised in the break - but if we want a real impact on ITV - then email the advertisers and give them hell !

So two adverts with 10 laps to go..
The last one with 3 (THREE!!!!) laps to go, and for the first time in ages a really enthralling struggle for the lead going on!! Smoking tyres, locked brakes.. etc.. And we have an ad break?!?!?! 2 laps worth , so by the time we rejoin we are halfway round the final lap!!!
These B*&^%$S should be shot and immediately lose the F1 coverage!!!! F1, is a joke and until its back in the hands of the enthusiasts I am boycotting it!!
As you can probably tell i'm seething!
