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. Dale.

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 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 :) Dale.

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 (uncle) Goy http://www.theuspits.com "A man is only as old as the woman he feels........" --Groucho Marx--
