    I would hate to be in America watch that with the amount of ad breaks sometimes not even a minutes between adverts

    Was really surprised when I watched the Chinese Grand Prix on ESPN 2 over there last year, expected it to be ridiculous but there was just the full uninterrupted Sky coverage. Could you imagine nowadays if they cut from the F1 to tell you about some new X Factor judge...

    Actually, given how the last few F1 races have panned out, it probably wouldn't matter that much! :)

    I wonder since Sky are pulling the NBC coverage that is like ITV so maybe that is why there is adverts of wonder if the full race without adverts is on like NBC Sports or something like that

    It's sponsored so there's no ads.

    Big crash. Big impact for Sea Bass and Veach.

    Great job avoiding the crash by Hinch and Ferrucci (the little racist prick).

    The entire presentation is a shilling masterclass, constantly shoving another brand name down your throat. On the plus side, the racing is really good. Still anyone's race to win

    Should be a good, straight run to the end. :D

    Thankfully I'm immune to such advertising*.

    Money. Which he wasn't great at paying when in Europe.

    Looks like a 13 lap dash to the end.

    That's as awesome as it gets in Motorsports. Gotta feel for Rossi but Pagenaud was also incredible.

    Great shootout at the end there, deserved win for Pagenaud, epic finish to an excellent race.

    The race had a bit of everything in it. Fair play to Pagenaud. Deserved win and a great challenge from Rossi. And a mention for Sato's move into the corner.

    I watch every race and it's entertaining but the Indianapolis 500 is a special race, best Motorsport race in the world imo, and just don't be expecting it to be as good as that.
