    & now the commentators might talk about someone other than Lewis & we might not get the obligatory shot of his father standing in the pits looking like he owns the team....

    No they will continue to only speak about Jensen and Lewis like they always do.....

    I didn't want JB to win, what happened to his last half of the season? he has just coasted home....

    Big grats to Mark for the race win.

    lets be fair to the commentators. they are english, and they are working for an english broadcaster, broadcasting to an english public.

    Its not surprising they are biased

    Its only co-incident that Channel 10 buys the rights to braodcast it.

    i remember years ago when the Japanese would have the broadcast rights to the Japanese GP, and we'd endlessy follow a Japanese driver round, despite the fact that he was in around 20th position.

    How eventful was the first couple of laps?!

    I thought Trulli was going to do a Tony Longhurst and knock the other drivers block off, after their accident.

    The young japanese driver looks like one to watch next year too. He didn't seem too phased having Button put the pressure on him, earlier in the race.

    The podium ceremony was disgraceful television with the director jumping to Jenson Button's celebrations while the aussie anthem was still being played...I know they have some right to be biased, but bloody hell. I'm surprised they didn't just have Jenson in the post-race interview, and forget about the other three....rant over

    Just finished watching the ITV broadcast of it then... GREAT race! GREAT drive by button!!!! Congrats to him and BrawnGP for their respective championships

    Congrats also to webber for his 2nd career victory, he'll be happy for sure.

    Can't say the ITV version had any of the directing squibbles of what you describe, but yes theyre baised due to being british. But really F1 is a British sport so I dont think it's that bad.

    For any of you who missed Jensen Button finishing 5th (like me), it's being replayed tonight on ONE HD. Check this guide for your location time.

    One great thing with it being a British Biased Commentary, is that they DO show Lewis Hamilton's missus(Pussycat Dolls lead singer) standing right next to his dad..some fine eye candy that one is!!

    Cheers,
