Default FOX broadcast of Canadian GP

****ty to say the least. No pre-race walk down the starting grid with Peter Windsor and the Grid Girls. Half-assed podium ceremony, and no post race press conference. A rookie wins his first ever race from pole and leaps into the champoinship points lead, and we don't get to see his reaction. This was probably the most anticipated post race press conference to this point and we got nothing. FOX needs to get their in-race advertising under control. F1 cars are low and sleek, and the big stupid San Fransico trolley ads for MLB are blocking all the action. This was arguably the most exciting race this season and FOX had a great chance to promote the sport in the USA. Instead of introducing the sport to new fans with all kids of insight and behind the scenes looks, FOX **** the bed on this one. Now the fans get to deal with their crappy broadcast for the next 3 races. Oh happy days. At least they didn't bring Derick Daly in to do the broadcast.

Yeah, that was a pretty good race. Fox needs to do something to smooth out the coverage Why focus on the "safety car" rather than what caused it to come out in the first place???
