"Look at the battle between Coulthard and . . . "
5 second pause
"the other car"
3 second pause
"Heidfeld"

oops! already mentioned above . . . but this was my favorite!

 

Yeah, and when the ratings suck because all the F1 fans that tuned in for the first 5 minutes got sick and turned it off, they'll just say that Americans just aren't interested in F1.

Oh god, I wish I had Speedvision...

 

Didn't you guys get Murray Walker? GO! GO! GO!

 

What the hell is Eddie Cheever's problem? He used to drive F1 fer pete's sake, and he pronounced Reubens' name wrong the ENTIRE race.

And does it really take that much effort to learn the team names? It's one thing not to be able to instantly identify all the drivers...they're very difficult to discern sometimes, that's excusable...but to not even recognize the CAR brand? (in reference to the Coulthard and "that other car" comment). He could at least have just said, "The Sauber car," but no, he couldn't b/c he didn't recognize the thing. Geez...

 

1. The feed should have been in stereo.
2. They didn't know what 67/73 graphic meant.
"With 67 laps run of 73..." WRONG!
3. It could have been worse. At least ABC didn't trot out Al Michaels. Like they do for Indy 500 coverage. Talk about a fish out of water. He falls all over himself. Stick to football, Al.
4. I'll give them credit for shorter commercial breaks. That's about all.

And what about the start of the race? Everybody knows that is when the announcers shut up and you turn up the volume.

"Lights are out."

"Here they go."

"There off."

"The race has started."


CRAP, MAN! SHUT THE HELL UP!

 

And who's idea was it to have Jason Priestley as the "invisible man" in the pits???? Now there is a racing expert....

 

God bless Speedvision! If you don't have it, buy a dish. I'm looking forward to their re-broadcast.

 

Jason Priestly commentating...ROFLMAO

 

Cheever is an IRL driver. The IRL is the pinnacle of mediocrity. No, I take it back, it's worse.
