Network Ten's F1 TV coverage

This petition was started to ensure that followers of this international sport are given the proper respect and catered for by Channel Ten.

Channel Ten has the live and exclusive Australian TV rights for every race. Channel Ten also has the rights to show Practice and Qualifying. Despite this Practice and Qualifying is only shown for the Australian GP and the only races that were shown live in 2005 were the Chinese (AEST), Australian, Japanese, Brazilian Canadian and US GP's. This is not good enough. We want improved TV coverage.

Every Other Round
We want all or most of these races to be shown live. The only time any of these races should be delayed is if it conflicts with a major event. In WA Australian Idol can be shown from 6:30pm-7:30pm so that F1 can be shown live from 7:30pm-10:30pm. If F1 was shown prime time the ratting for F1 will be a lot better because people have work or school on Monday which means they can not stay awake to 1:00am watching F1.

Saturday Qualifying delayed at 10:30pm (No later)
Sunday Race live (In every state) or delayed at 10:30pm (No later)
