OT: TSN's F1 Montreal coverage

Did any Canadians notice that we got the F1 Digital feed for qualifying on
TSN?

Awesome... in-car cameras , in-garage (fantastic!) cameras, telemetry (for
rpm), new camera angles (I love that one that was on a hill behind the
trees) and OMG... Williams pit radio!!!.  Great direction as far as I could
tell... none of this stuff where the host broadcaster follows his countryman
around while others are setting pole times...

Let's write emails to TSN asking that they keep that coverage and dump the
ITV feed!  Actually, a perfect match might be the digital feed with ITV's
commentary.

What I do is here in England is watch the ITV pre-race show up to the 5
minute board then switch to F1 Digital for the race. The commentary team of
Ben Edwards and John Watson on F1 Digital on Sky is better than ITV's team
of James Allen and Martin Brundle IMO. The one thing Sky don;t do is a
pre-race show so I watch ITV's instead. I agree with you on the coverage
though, the digital feed is far superior to the terrestrial one.

I like John Watson.  I should've mentioned that we got Canadian commentary
(Vic Rauters with Johnny Herbert) but it wasn't *too* bad.  I'd like the
hear the alternative that you mentioned though before judging :)

Ben Edwards and John Watson.....ah those were the days of Eurosport and
decent F1 coverage over here, John Watson was working with another guy
before that, Allard Kalff or something, who was even better

F1 has gone downhill after that over here, Swedish commentary is really
bad and Norwegian is unbearable

Beers and cheers
