FG1 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
UK TV Schedule, C4 and ITV

There was an interesting choice on UK TV this morning between the C4 rally shakedown program and the start of ITV's F1 qualification. Of course I chose the rally.

BTW it still irritates me how C4 trivialize their coverage, and what was that Hart bloke doing playing a computer game so badly on the beach!

But, the first half hour of F1 qualifying is often the most interesting bit of an F1 weekend! So, as I said, interesting TV scheduling! Why do they do it I wonder. Just to spite each other? I can't be bothered to set up the video for F1.

I've long realised that TV schedules are not made for the convenience of the viewer, that's why videos and repeat showings (WRC last night on C4) are so good.

No argument here, but that wasn't quite my point.

And it C4's defence Robbie Head is good, but the others are a waste of space.

imull has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
The woman that presents it annoyed me on the Monte. Say inside the Euromesh (bright coloured netting) on the apex of a corner as cars came round a "fast right into hairpin left". She was sat in the middle of a no go area on national TV blabbing about increased safety.

No wonder we have problems with speccies on club rallies

And Penny Mallory (the woman concerned) is an ex-rally driver herself, isn't she? Or have I picked that up incorrectly.

No, you're right, she is/was a rally driver & competed in the 2000 Rally GB in a Focus WRC.

Penny Mallory is sexy, but still I'm not watching the C4 coverage of the WRC as Eurosport do the best.
