Had to get this out of my system.
What the heck happened with F1 coverage???
First it was LIVE now it is recorded.
WHY WHY WHY???
Races are fun the watch, commercials are not..... Do you reeally have to put 80% of the commercials during the last 20 laps????
WHY WHY WHY??
Today was the biggest mess off all...... going to commercials during the finish.
See one car finish and after the commercials you see people climb the podium.
That's it..... Not even going to watch it anymore.
Has fox gone MAD?

Luckily, this was the 3rd of 4 so we only have one more to go before F1 is back on SPEED. Bernie pays a big price with the existing fans in order to get more fans.

How about this as a solution.
The race is recorded anyway so.
- Start the tape with the recorded race:
- Commercial starts..... here's the smart move... you people at Fox/Speed walk to the taperecorded and hit PAUSE on the tape with the race
- Commercial done... Hit play again.
That way you can add all the commercials you want and we don't have to miss 2 laps every time they break for commercials.

Hi, I'm so happy to see that I'm not the only one that is furious about the F1 coverage on FOX.
No pre show, no post press coverage, and showed 5 hours late ????
Does any one know who to contact. This has to change. I know we only have 1 more race, but fox has a contract for next year too, and I will not have this to happen again.
I have looked everywhere and not seen any place where you can email them. Please if any one has an email, we can get this changed. Lets make it better, it is after all us the viewers that has a say in this.

If you think signing in under different names is going to make it look like there are more people upset about this then you might not want to use the exact same verbiage in multiple posts...or are you dealing with multiple personalities?

Sorry I was not trying to make anyone mad, just trying to make more people to view it, and give feedback. I definitely hope we can solve this problem and make the f1 coverage much better

Agreed. If the race is a delayed broadcast, then package the broadcast. Show the commercials without missing action on the track.
Great solution!

The only have a 2 hour broadcast window. As it is, they may edit out laps if things run long.

And when all else fails, BLAME SPEED!
“Crap programs” are anything that I don’t like.
“Because I don’t watch it” means that nobody watches it either.

I too am disgusted with the Fox Execs for putting this weekends race out 5 hours late.
Can you imagine the uproar if this happened to NASCAR or even Indy.
It's out of order for them to do this.
I refuse to watch Taped Delay races.
I gladly get up at all hours to watch these races.
It certainly makes the commercials much more palatable
How many more till it's back on Speed?
Cheers,
John
