Eurosport were great at covering F1. They damn near showed everything about the race weekend. By Sunday the delighted viewer, (me), was suffering from a surfeit of fantastic detail. ITV, since taking over F1, have been a crushing disappointment as far as coverage goes. Murray Walker, Brit commentator until he retired was the best thing about ITV's handling of the coverage, knew his stuff and was enthusiastic to boot.
Nah, if Eurosport took it back over I'd subscribe to SKY just to watch it! And I loathe that pocket-picking, smarmy, greedy cow, Murdoch.
Thanks for reminding me what a pigs ear our,(Brit), coverage is, now! Sometimes the best bits are watching Brundle elbow other TV interviewers out of the way, finishing their segment there and then, and taking over the driver, or Bernie, or anyone else he wants to talk to.
I remember his 'golden gonads' comment from trackside in his early days of commentating and the dead, shocked, silence that followed it, before someone in the studio, sounding a bit flustered, replied to him. I was rolling about on the floor holding my sides, thinking, 'Aw, there goes his commentating job.' Luckily, they kept him on.
