rant: i wish the commentators can shut up
everytime they open up the team radio coverage, the dude that can't pronounce Barrichello and Schumacher just won't shut the hell up.
"that white car has passed the blue car!"
so far i'm not impressed at all with ABC's coverage.

Not only do I agree, but JASON PRIESTLY as a commentator!!! Come on ABC. You state that you're the world leader in sports entertainment. If you didn't own ESPN you wouldn't be.

ABC's coverage absolutely sucks! They have a bunch of motormouth, ignorant commentators doing a race that they know nothing about. Eddie Cheever, who is a mediocre driver in a minor-league series (IRL), can't even pronounce the driver's names correctly. I just heard Bob Jenkins say something about David Coulthard and "that other car" fighting for position. There are only 22 cars, you should know all of them! Then Jason Priestley just said Ralf was driving a McLaren.
I'm almost considering turning off ABC's coverage and just watching Speedvision's tape-delayed coverage tonight.

"The new tires will ALWAYS give you better grip..." said that commentator who can't pronounce Barrichello.
"we'll be quiet now and let you listen to the engine, note how the misfire sounds the engine will make, that's not really misfire, but that's what they call 'traction control', do you hear it?"

I like the comment "...if you are used to Nascar then you will be amazed at the number of people in the pit area."
Who cares about Nascar? Like that is the only form of motor racing that you can compare to?
