Come on guys, give the BBC a break. They have stuck with the coverage as best they can. SD is better than nothing.

Why does the safety car have a passenger?

Spotter? Someone to operate the lights and the radio?

Just say if race starts behind SC due to wet, race is delayed 30mins and set up change is allowed, then racing is on. If the choose not to change and crash so be it.

Yeah it's not like this is the first time we have had issues where these cars haven't wanted to run in bad conditions. I can't believe they haven't prepared a scenario for this

53 laps is going to be 75% race distance. Hmmmmmm

Yep, pretty much. The drivers job is to drive untill the guy next to him tells him to stop. The radio and lights and everything else are done buy his passenger.

can clearly see a dry line now.

A car will crash within 5 laps of restart and they will bring SC out again for another 10 laps behind it...

Hopefully, if they're quite willing to cancel the BBC2 shows, then BBC HD should be available as well.

Doesn't everyone have both BBC One HD and BBC HD?

I agree with Brundle. It's ridiculous. Get that safety car in.

Journey · 12 Jun 2011 at 21:00

It's on BBC HD

The SL Black was much better. The SLS is muted in comparison.

utajoker · 12 Jun 2011 at 21:00

Jono8 · 12 Jun 2011 at 21:01

What a spectacle this is! :rolleyes:

utajoker · 12 Jun 2011 at 21:01

looks like their looking for a bit of water off line aswell.

could be a mass of pit stops when sc goes in?

I have a feeling restart is going to coincide with channel switch over and we'll all miss some great action.
