Why? Well, I'm a pensioner living over here in the colonies and the F1
coverage we get here is pure crap.
Sometimes it is more fun when you know the World Champ (and in my opinion
best driver on the track) gets shunted on lap one and has to struggle
back as best he can.
Helps to relive the "good old days" sitting around the pits at
Silverstone shooting the bull with Rob Walker & Graham Hill. :)
I also watched the practices, pre-race show, etc. at 720 & shall miss it
until/unless it returns.
