Just noticed that ITV was promising to show live Formula One coverage on its itv-f1.com website this season - a new initiiative that I thought might give some consolation to those of us who object to having our coverage of F1 punctuated with irrelevant TV commercials.
But no such luck. Instead of showing the race on the web without commercials (which would have cost ITV nothing) it simply simulcasts its TV coverage with the ads still in.
An opportunity wasted. And confirmation, if we ever needed it, that ITV has little but contempt for us, its viewers.
