How are they international? Each country has its own commentary what are you talking about.

They are known around the world and I think some countries overseas pick up the ITV commentary.

Why?

Hamilton is having a great race. He really is showing just how much better he is than everybody else. Whats most impressive is just how much quicker he is than Heikki - he opened up a huge gap on his team mate, in just a few corners.

I tell you what though, Alonso is being made to look ordinary today, by his team mate, who is looking to finish in 2nd.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I was referring to the commentary, I hope BBC go with mostly new setup; hopefully with DC commentating on the races. I feel the past couple of years has gone a bit stale in terms of coverage.

You obviously thought I was Hamilton hater!

They always seem to make a big deal out of team orders but seemed ok with it this week. I wonder why?

Does that mean that if you get the Italian TV feed thats going to be unbiased?

I don't think so! To most Italians, Ferrari is just God in mechanical form.

Sorry i didn't catch the bit where they said it's ok to use team orders.

I'd hardly say slaughtering, if that safety car had come out 2 laps later or hadn't come out at all he'd be nowhere. Just hope Hamilton stuffs it and we have a Renault victory!

Is Alonso catching him at all (with his supposed fantastic skills, he certainly should be)

Alonso isnt even in the points is he? the whole point is the sc DIDNT affect Piquet's race, rather than having a positive affect

It would be GREAT having DC as a commentator

yesssssssss a great win

Im not talking about the FIA. Im talking about Allen and Brundle who are supposed to be international commentators with impartial points of view.

Why are they supposed to be international? Theyre ITV commentators which only broadcasts to UK as far as I know?

I suspect other countries commentators are biased towards their own drivers too!

Also, I dont particuly like the amount of bias either but its only suspected and it doesnt bother me enough to rant about it

Ill enlighten...

Brundle said words to the effect of... "Ron will get on the radio and give some code for Kova to move over".

Its double standards. When Ferrari did it in Austria back a few years ago... Brundle and Allen went ape.

Did they today? No.

Double Standards. End of.

Well played by Piquet

Im not saying its right - but every team does it in one way or another, so why shouldnt McLaren?

Edit - radio chatter" Dont worry Ron I forgive you" hahahaha

Driver of the day has to be Piquet surely?

Hamilton in a class of his own yet again

I will go along with that

Hamilton had it in the bag all weekend - only McLaren made it difficult for him
