Nobody at FOM seems to notice or care that their totally crucial TV director is a Legard.
Move over Bernie, you were then but this is 2013. It could be so much better.

Just use F1LT.The whole thing is unbelievably backward. As you say showing fastest lap all the time, on live timing as well, is pointless. LT is archaic. Posting PDF's of times hours after the session belongs in the 1990's. We should be able to stack and chart sector times, with tyres and stint lengths.

What they really should do is go back to showing full onboard laps, not just 1/3 of an onboard lap and then cut to whichever car is crossing the line, or goes in or out of the pits, like it;s a quali session. FP coverage used to be full of onboard stuff, I don't get why the changed that.
Seriously man, why are you immediately talking about something else, without any respect of the first post? That's not the frigging topic here!

Overkill, I guarantee if there was an F1 race every day of the year none of us would watch F1. By the way I've watched every F1 race followed every timing session and read every significant F1 article written in a sport theme since 1985. The most exciting part of F1 is the build up to a race about 10 minutes before the start after a few weeks of waiting.as long as there is an f1 car on track , i wanna see it

There should then be a practice session on the Sunday prior to the race.
The point of practice is to prepare yourself and your equipment to perform to the limit with it which you then do on a Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons. They should also have a spare car in the team garage but that's for another discussion.

No one wants to watch a 1 hour drawn out affair when the track was empty for the first 20 minutes.The Qualifying on Saturday could be televised as this is the session which decides the grid, some of the most entertaining and sublime driving used to happen on a Saturday when the drivers were allowed to 'drive' and not 'manage'.
Why do you think MotoGP has recently changed its Qualifying set-up?

You're saying an organization that didn't get HD cameras until just a couple years ago and still doesn't offer any legal online viewing option is archaic?

What they should do is show a graphic at the bottom of the screen
There should never be a graphic at the bottom of the screen. Motorsport action takes place between the car/bike and the track. Overlaying the picture with a bloody graphic which covers over that area is far beyond stupid - yet all the broadcasters continue to do it.

Your confusing thesis has captured my attention. Tell me more.There should never be a graphic at the bottom of the screen. Motorsport action takes place between the car/bike and the track.
