It's apparently been displaced by college basketball. Sweet.

P1 and P2 now back to back beginning at midnight. This what others are seeing?
Yep, I just wait a few hours for BBC to release the coverage on iPlayer and watch it with better commentary and production value.

There are major problems with the american coverage. Having the hosts not present at the race is a fundamental flaw that can't be ignored. No other coverage of the sport whatsoever on the network. F1 is lucky if it gets 10 minutes of talk time on NBCSports and SPEED together.

I personally prefer Varsha over Diffey, I do like Matchett but Hobbs gets rather annoying as he gets lost too much as to what is going on. I could go on but we all know the basic problems of the coverage here. It's up to a network to produce something better with the sport.

Does Sky's coverage of the GPs include commercials during the race?
