The end of ITV-F1
I've been looking at the ITV-F1 website today, viewing the Hungarian Grand Prix practice session and it set me wondering. If this is the last year that ITV will be covering the F1 races, why are they offering features such as this on their site? Their website was never anything to write home about (apart from Martin Brundle's column), but recently the boat has been well and truly pushed out. Interviews, race highlights, live streaming practice sessions, whats going on here?
Is it because they want to show the BBC a thing or two before handing over? Or is it (the most likely explanation) that before the start of the season, the team had implemented many new features for the website and the TV, yet the exec's had decided not to put up much of a fight when it came to renewing the contract. What do you lot think?
