What do you think is the best channel to watch for the F1? Today I was totally frustrated with ITV's adverts.

Well done Button! (How long have we had to wait!)

I watch it on SRG Swiss channels, and listen to the commentary on Five live, no commercials just good uninterrupted viewing, but very little build up.
I stopped watching ITV, not just due to the amout of commercials, but I was also fed up af seeing the adverts with naked men, I assumed they wouldn't show these, during a program aimed at men, but I was wrong !!!!

interested to know how does that marry up, surely you could be watching one battle for placings while listening to another?

I've watched 2 races, on these channels, and the commentary from 5 live, using a digital radio, matches up to the pictures almost perfectly. There was about 1/2 second time delay, as both radio and TV were broadcasting pit to car radio broadcasts simultaneously.
There have been no advertisement breaks, but unfortunately there is no English soundtrack.
When we briefly had Premiere, on the Dragon Cam, I did watch there coverage, which was much superior, a lot of channels giving different views, and with English commentary, but the Swiss do a good enough job, and uninterrupted coverage is a big bonus.
