Our sports network, TSN, got the Canadian rights away from Speedvision a couple of years ago. The TSN team are clueless. The switching and commercial breaks are equally clueless.
I watched/listened to Steve Matchett, Bob Varsha and David Hobbs for years and loved the depth of their knowledge and ability to decipher the in-race strategies. Sam Posey was cool too. edit <see pic above> ^^^^^ Thanks Dead. ( btw - get yer passport, drive the car up and park it. Our Metro is all you need. What are you hearing? Ever driven in Boston? Montreal is a piece of cake after that.)
The TSN goofs I listen to somehow mangle very single race. And I miss Speedvisions pre-race coverage with all the latest gossip and news.
Interesting tidbit - Juan Fangio had an " F Duct" in his 1950's cars. It blew air into a supercharger though - not across the rear wing. Neat. Plus ca change.
And if you're a real F1 fan you have read both of Steve Matchetts books. Wicked stories!
