I just heard the news that from 2009 Formula 1 will be broadcast on the BBC. For once I think the BBC has got it right. It may blur out the tobacco sponsorship on some of the cars (just in case they offend someone), but at least we won't have to suffer anymore bloody adverts.
The ITV broadcast has been really informative and was far superior to the coverage provided previously by the beeb but those adverts are a real pain in the ass. During a processional race (not uncommon for F1) ITV would invariably cut to an advert only to miss the only bit of on-track drama.
I guess this was down to sods law but it was (and still is) highly irksome.
All we need now is for Murray Walker to come out of retirement and the re-introduction of Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain" as the musical score and it will be F1 Nirvana.
Oh, and to get rid of Martin "I never won a race but still think I'm better than every driver ever" Brundle.
