F1 San Marino GP on Sunday 10:00am EDIT: CBS

The San Marino GP will be tape delayed and shown at 10:00am on ABC, locally KOVR13. This ABC broadcast is their typical two hours long, not the usual 2.5 hours of coverage shown on Speed.

Michael Schumacher has his 66th pole position for the race, finally breaking the record he shared with the late Ayrton Senna.

I just hope it's not Derek Daly on the horn. I would have to wait for the Speed channel rebroadcast.

Umm, the race is on CBS.

I hope it isn't too late for anybody who set their DVR...

KOVR 13 used to be ABC though. Easy mistake.

Thanks for the correction. I still get the two stations mixed up since they swapped networks with each other, along with UPN31 sharing news chores with Ch 13, with folks from Good Day Sacramento appearing intermittently on 13.

Yes, the network coverage is gosh awful. I sometimes turn down the volume to a whisper because the commentating is so bad at times. It seems as if they are speaking to a first-time F1 audience, explaining about the fuel rigs and carbon fiber brakes.

That's probably a good idea to bring some of the borderline nascar lurkers over to the good side.

Some of the gems:

"Understeer is literally understeer!"

"The driver completely controls the car with the steering wheel."

"RETIRE??!?! RETIRE??!?!? RETIRE??!?!"
