They've already shown clips from races that were on ITV, so they must have some kind of rights to them. Just because it's this season doesn't mean that they shouldn't have some opening credits that suit the sport and the music - F1 has history, they should be using it!

It's only the opening credits and it was way better than anything ITV made in over a decade. My only complaint was the car sounds over the music and the music re-loop at the end but this is major league nit-picking.

I imagine that the BBC would obtain the rights for these clips from FOM, rather that ITV.

Did Legard just say Formula None?

James, is that you?

Before I am attacked, Legard is top notch.

Well atleast Legard doesn't seem like he is going to have a heart attack everytime someone is about to finish a lap ala James.

Yes, or rather when the bass starts late in the song. That is the BBC F1 Intro music which we brits all know and love.

TSN coverage is as per BBC except when Lee Mac interviewed Lewis, they stayed with FOM cameras. Give TSN credit, in Q1, they didnt take an ad break.

good old internet, being able to watch the BBC feed while TSN is on break...alledgely
