Anybody in the US want to say something about this? The coverage by CBS was horrible... so many stupid things during the broadcast.
1) The host Sheheen talking about Kimi and Schumi battling in San Marino. They didn't, idiot; that was Alonso.
2) Derek Daly getting bleeped when JPM was stuck behind the Safety car. He said "Juan Pablo was [bleep]. He should have come in" or something like that...
3) NO UNILATERALS because of time constaints (they wanted to put Annika and Wie on; who cares if we miss a few minutes Annika had a huge lead anyway)... which leads me to the biggest point
4)THE RACE WASN'T LIVE! Something like a 15min delay to talk about the grid and whatnot. I believe it started 10am Pacific and I had to wait. Why they didn't start the coverage at 9:30 I don't know.
There might be more I kind of forgot but there were SO MANY...

G,day CB, I wouldn't bleat too much about the coverage time, Mate.

Good afternoon JV Exactly and I watched it "live"JayVee wrote:The coverage in Oz wasn't great either!!
We didn't see Alonso's brush with the wall, there was an ad break and when they claimed to be replaying it, the visual was Michael's on-board!!
We didn't see Kimi's off late in the race either
