Watched both the BBC and FOX coverages today, and I have to say that the FOX/SPEED commentators were pathetic compared to the BBC guys. I don't understand why Steve and Bob were so concerned with the frontrunners switching to intermediates late in the race and how "plan B" was to hold off on the prime tires for as long as possible. Rain was never imminent, and I barely recall BBC's commentators bringing up the possibility of rain at the end of the race. Holding off on the primes for as long as possible was always the plan for these teams, I guess it was hard to judge the weather from Chicago or wherever they're situated. I had to explain quite a few things to my dad while watching the FOX coverage that were left out (maybe due to the dozens of commercials), it left me pretty disappointed that I've been watching FOX/SPEED's coverage for so many years without knowing the grass is greener over at the Beebs.
So there's my rant for the week.
Congrats again to Lewis on a tremendous race, he certainly earned that one.
