Default Feel lucky they didn't do a glowing car.
It'll be interesting to see if Speed rebroadcasts it in HD when they do the midweek replay.

Me, couldn't be bothered to watch.

But I'm really happy for the winner.

I hate it. Still get Varsha and crew, but no prerace with Windsor. TV comes on, cars lined up to go.

And needing to cut the race interview. It's ok to run Nascar over slotted time, but not F1. :-(

Default Absolutely correct. If that was NASCAR on a rain delay, they'd interview everyone but
the hot dog concessionaire (oh wait, they've done that) and fill in 2-3 hrs of last years race, other programming be damned. And we have to endure three more of these? F!!

Still better than ABC's coverage of IndyCar. I watched both on DVR yesterday, fast forwarding FTW!

What, you don't like shots from the spinning 360 degree cameras for no reason?
