I was particularly impressed by the way they cut away from the
post-race driver interviews halfway through so we could hear more
from Ralph and Derek. You get to hear from the drivers so little,
and I already got to hear a couple of hours of Ralph and
Derek... They certainly are better than when that had that doofus
from Beverly Hills 90210 (Jason Priestly) announce for the US GP (he
didn't know the driver names, and tried to make a big deal about tire
wear which wasn't an issue that year), but not nearly as fun as the
trio that Speed has as the F1 announcers.
