Yes, I think NBC Sports is doing a CRAP job with F1. I set my recorder to Series and my clock a little fast to get all the races, and I get a few minutes of the Tour d'France including US Bank Sports Report with Leigh Diffey giving me all the highlights of the British GP BEFORE it's scheduled to start its "live" coverage (as announced by Diffey during the telecast!). And Diffey sucks as a race commentator--all he does is endlessly repeat old news and announce commericial breaks. I suggest bring back Bob Varsha and replace Steve Machett with Will Buxton. Machett hasn't worked on a F1 car in ages; he parrots whatever insights Buxton notes during the race. I can't see NBC Sports covering F1 for too long; they are not used to a small but knowledgeable audience that is sick of pablum
