I bet you actually saw the damn thing LIVE. Over the past 3 years, we have seen a grand total of 3 GPs live and none of them were even the Australian GP which you'd expect at least to see live because we're in ****ing Australia.

Channel 10 are a bunch of ****ing ****s and should be shot in the kn*ckers, kn*ckers and kn*ckers because they clearly don't give a ****, ****, **** or a **** about the motorsport fans in this country. The sooner Channel 10 has F1 stripped from it the better.

FOR SHAME... BOOOO! :

Whilst I agree entirely with what you've said, I have to ask the question of who should get the coverage?

Channel 9 were no better, if not worse. Channel 7 have the V8s and the AFL so F1 will always come after those two. The ABC and SBS don't have the budget to afford the rights. That only leaves Pay TV and I for one can't afford to pay $50 a month to watch 2 hours of TV a fortnight, as much as I'd like to.

I think we have to face the fact that F1 is a minor sport in Australia and will always be that way. It will never get prime time coverage.
