don't blame TVNZ for all the ad breaks....The coverage was provided by Australia's Ten network.I'd venture to suggest that the Aussies were calling all the shots as to how log,how frequent and timing of the breaks were.....It would have been good if the ads had coincided with the safety car all of the time,but the impact from an advertisers point of view would have been much diminished.
The thing that struck me about the ads though was,,,Who the hell were they aimed at?most of them had absolutely no relevance to the average motorsport fan.......I sure as shit ain't going to rush out and hire a carpet cleaner,or order a heap of hydraulic hoses......
as for the race,as usual it was pretty leaden from lap 2 until about the 140 lap mark.The only dramas were in the equipment failures and the pit crew stuff ups as the drivers were more focussed on getting to the finshing stages than fighting for position.The safety car was on the track fro far too long,and the race proper took a long time to reach full intensity,but the endurance factor does make for a fair degree of luck in winnig the day.
