ITV F1 Reviews
Newest Review: ... and I think he tells it like it is. The sport is made up of so many teams, and each team has 2 drivers in it. There is the famous teams such as Williams, Honda, ferrari and so on, and interestigly enough a new team came along called Brawn. this was set up by a guy who used to work with the Ferrari team, called Ross Brawn, and the funding was put up by Richard branson, so the only logo on the car is Virgin. This team have done exceptionally well so far, and have nearly won every race. The driver of the moment just now is called Jenson Button. He has been driving in Formula One for years, and had only managed 1 win before. He used to drive ... more

Formula 1 came back to BBC1 this year, and I think it was for the better. My husband loves F1 and I have to say, I quite enjoy to watch it as well. Although I feel I can write about this sport, I perhaps don't know as much as what he does, but I will give it a shot. Formula One is a motor sport. There are different races around the world, and these are dotted around the sporting calander of March-October. there were 18 races last year, and I know there are a few new track additions this year, so unsure of the schedule for this year. It is normally on the website www.bbc.co.uk/formulaone. The race is narrated by a couple of commentators. When it was ... Read the complete review

In 1997, ITV became the British broadcaster of Formula 1 motor racing, taking the contract away from the BBC. When F1 was first shown on ITV, the levels of coverage were dramatically increased from the BBC years, with all final qualifying sessions live, along with the Grand Prix itself. There were also additional analysis shows broadcast. The only downside was the introduction of commercial breaks to the sport, sometimes meaning some crucial moments of the race were missed. The original commentary team was Murray Walker and Martin Brundle, with Jim Rosenthal, Simon Taylor and Tony Jardine in the studio. Pit lane reporters were James Allen and ...

How biased can a commentator on sport be!????!! Fair enough Martin Brundle does a great job on the commentary as he actually knows what he is talking about having been there and done that and gives a good in-sight as to what it takes to be an F1 driver and their lives etc, BUT, James Allen thinks there is only one driver one the circuit, or are they all called Lewis Hamilton!!! When will this guy realise there are 19 other driver going round and round the track! The overall coverage including the qualifying is very good and Martin Brundles pre-race grid walks are very informative and fun catching drivers and stars off guard but i find it so annoying the need for adverts .

Formula 1 is a sporting event that takes place over the course of about 1 and half to 2 hours. On the TV there is obviously a lead up and an after race part as well. Now, I wish to talk about football first. Bear with me, I am not a football fan either! When a match is on ITV, everything has to move to compensate for some men kicking a pigs bladder about. Coronation Street goes onto some ridiculous hour and other programs are cancelled. The advert breaks are cancelled for the 45 minutes on each half, thus showing you the full game in it's full glory. Unlike Formula one. ITV would rather you be watching an advert for Tampax rather than ... Read the complete review

It may be Murrayyyyyyyyys last Grand Prix but the race is a dead rubber like the marbles littering the Brickyards fearsome white washed curves. Cars sweep around like a flashing blade as the burning Middle America sun kisses the iridescent racing machines. Speeds of 220mph are regularly whipped up by the more sturdy but cumbersome Indy cart racers during the epic Indianapolis 500.But this is the more sophisticated Europeans putting on a show for the yanks as the world goes on after the terrible New York attack. A suitable touching America national anthem drifted across the track and gigantic stands full of shimmering emotion like the relentless ... Read the complete review
