F1 Silverstone @ BBC1 digital TV, Live

Here am I in UK, watching F1, live on public TV. It's FREE unlike Malangsial where Arsethrow is holding M'sians at ransom for live telecast. This programme actually started at 12.10pm, 50 minutes before the race starts, with the commentators (Martin Brundle, Eddie Jordon, David Coultard and ???) on a walkabout in the pits and track, interviewing the drivers and their teams. Sir Patrick Stewart was also interviewed. If you don't know, Sir Patrick is the captain of the spaceship, Enterprise, as in Star Trek. Anyway, there were flashbacks, etc. Interesting!

Here's the best part... there were no advertisement at all during the whole duration, before and after the race commentaries and interviews. This surely memalukan Ananda Con-da. Shame on you.

Below is the wasteful participation of M'sia in the F1, as found in Wikipedia. I'm pretty sure that there's more $$ that meet the eye. Sigh... why can't this $$$ be spent to help the unfortunate M'sians? It was mentioned by Martin Brundle in this race that Red Bull spent a few million Euros for this season. Aiyoyo...
