The British GP coverage is usually good in that regard - they actually show the racing. Vettel was going to win that race unless he crashed, no reason to follow him around the whole time.

Exactly, they weren't showing him because there was nothing to show as far as racing goes. In general the world feed does show where the "racing" is happening. Just in F1 that happens to look like a train. There was a couple of good passes during the race though.

I remember a lot of races in MS/Ferrari's hay day where the producers would follow MS around as he clocked lap after lap without ever seeing another car.

I was under the impression that both the stewards and video/audio feed are done by different people at every track.

F1 staying intact for now, but Max is gone by October! There will also not be a budget cap, but a plan to reduce costs in two years time.

I was just about to post this as well. I still want to hear it from FOTA before I believe it completely. I am glad in a way, I liked the look of the breakaway schedule but I wanted F1 to stay F1. Looks as if Todt will taking over for Mad Max when he leaves. I'm sure he will do a fine job of overseeing the sport.

Yeah, this only solves half the problem... actually, less than half, Bernie is the bigger problem IMO.

I couldn't agree more. It amazes me how far Mosley thinks he could go before someone finally steped in. Glad to see him go.

This interview says about all you need to know about why Bernie is ruining F1 as fast as possible.

Max Mosley as leader of England... admiration for Hitler...

Looks like we might get rid of both these old geezers in one fell swoop.

On a side note, this is why I really like Planet F1 sometimes, LOL.
