A little off topic (and maybe I missed it somewhere) but does anyone know why NBC(SN) is using different commentators? Are they switching things up? Looks like Leigh Diffey has been on-air on/off which I thought was due to sickness and then no Will Buxton for the FP2 that I watched as well.

This race always has great visual appeal and some yellow flags, but not a whole lot of passing going on especially given how long it is. This year was interesting because of the tire strategies which really determined the finish.

Is anyone else as disappointed in NBCs F1 coverage?
First of all every race weekend turns into a scavenger hut for the three sessions televised as NBC shuffles the allocation among their NBC, NBCSN, and CNBC channels. Living on the left coast, I try to set up my recorder on Thursday for these so I don't have to get up at 04:30 to watch them live. This week this exercise was made more didfficult by a local power outage that cleared the guide on my Comcast box - it took two days for the guide to get brought back up to date. My second gripe is the amount of time during the race spent on advertising. Admittedly I don't have the patience to make a precise accounting but it seem that less than half the time is actually spent broadcasting the race. Between the full commercials, the commercials where the the race coverage is continued in a picture in picture window so small as to be worthless for following what is going on, and the still shots with the presenters pitching other shows coming up later, it seems like less than half of the race is actually watchable. Oh well, maybe the incoming F1 management will make it a better show for American F1 fans, nut I won't hold my breath for that. |

The were definitely more ad breaks than usual in this race and NBC basically sucks when it comes to prioritizing F1 on their schedule.

I thought the race was OK, even though it was crazy long I didn't get bored for some reason. I was shocked to hear the Ferrari team boss spent 6 hours in jail for flicking a cigarette on the street? Good grief.

NBC basically runs 2 hours of commercials, briefly interrupted with clips of F1. It's a lot like their olympics coverage come to think.. |

Singapore does not play when it comes to litter. I was rather amused thinking of him sitting in jail. Willing to bet it was full of other foreign "visitors."

It isn't even close - uninterrupted coverage of everything...even FP3 in Germany. Back in the US, I'm struggling to watch the restart (after the Hulk accident) while commercials are running side/side. wtf... |
