Given how many people on-list have complained for years about the 
quality of Speedvision/SPEED, I thought you all might also find this 
article by Clarkson interesting, about the sad state of affairs with 
regards to F1 coverage.

I have to say I agree completely- I watch about 5 minutes of 
vvvrrrrRRRRRRRTT!vvvRRRRRRRRT!vvvrr etc...and feel like smacking my 
head against a wall rather than continue watching.  That and I can't 
stand Schumacher- either one of them.  Personally I'd like to see the 
Japanese driver who managed to get hit not once but  -twice- by 
marshal vehicles (somewhere I have a newswire shot of him, bouncing 
off the car's hood).  True talent!
