Within 30 seconds of the commentary team for ITV4’s Gp2 coverage kicking in, I was nostalgic for Martin Haven and Gareth Rees at Eurosport. 19 laps in, I’m composing an email to ITV.

ITV4’s coverage doesn’t feel like much of an improvement over Eurosport. With the extra build-up time I was hoping for some features and/or insight, rather than highlights of FBMW Pacific. The only improvement is the loss of Eurosport’s irritating ads for … Eurosport.
