Race commentary Sky, preview and post race BBC.

Cannae afford Sky (not that I would give that prick Murdoch any of my money anyway), so it's the Beeb for me.

Jake Humphrey to leave the BBC:

Sad news as he's good at presenting F1.  Wonder who they'll get in instead?  Or will they just bin it all together and leave it all to Sky?

very much so, great presenter all round

[manc_don]

That really is a shame, he's a proper professional and was a very good presenter for the F1 and Superbowl. Huge loss for BBC imo.

Loved make Humphreys moment of going to the Ferrari garage and saying it didn't matter because he was leaving anyway

 

Not sure who I hope wins, dont particularly like either of the drivers but it has been a great season.

[Kowalski]

Decent race.  Humphreys will be missed as he disappears into the abyss of BT Vision.

He will, really enjoyed the race. Button was immaculate.

Was a great race today, definitely preferred Alonso than Vettel as I thought he's driven better over the course of the season but noone can deny vettel his victory. Its just a shame Humphreys is leaving , hopefully he won't live to regret it.

[Kowalski]

It's Peter Noone.

It looks to me like Vettel overtakes before the green flag/light, so I think he was still in a yellow flag zone.

[manc_don]

Yeah i heard about this on the weekend but was surprised nothing more was made of it.  Would mean Alonso wins by a point.

[Tyrant]

This is mental. So was he meant to wait until after he passed the green light? How can he not know that as a pro driver? Or did he think he'd get away with it?

Formula 1: It's not the spirit of the sport, it's the letter of the law to the minutest detail.

So even if you're stuck behind a really slow back-marker you still have to wait until you're in a certain section of the track before you can overtake?

 

 

Sounds shite, I'll continue to not watch it.

No.

[CtS]

That clears that up then.

Suzi Perry to replace Jake Humphrey as BBC F1 anchor.

Always liked a bit of Suzi 

[TENEMENTFUNSTER]

This is good.

[manc_don]

Very good news

I'm not a huge fan of Vettel but I'm not sure I fully understand the vitriol he is getting.

F1 is supposed to be a race, and he's probably as fed up of team orders as the majority of us fans are!

 

Farcical decision by Red Bull IMHO to initiate team orders in the second race of the season FFS fuck's sake!
