Hi guys I'm new to this forum so sorry if this has been aired before, but I want to get it off my chest. I was disgusted that the BBC Sports reporter on BBC TV news on the morning of Monday April 21 did not see fit to even mention Lewis's victory, and hat trick of victories, scored the previous day in Shanghai.

 

Is it because the BBC is piqued at having lost coverage? Even if it dislikes F1 I would have thought the BBC would cover it as part of one of their other preoccupations; Europe (F1 is Eurpean teams beating the Far East) or Green matters (for a sport making environmantally friendly chhnges with smaller engines and greater fuel efficiency).

 

Come on BBC support the flag!

There's already a thread for discussing TV coverage and your outrage appears a little over the top to be honest.

Not to mention the fact that by Monday morning it was no longer 'news'. They were actually giving updates - complete with brief sections of Sky-branded coverage - on the News Channel during the race on Sunday morning.
