Good race but horrible TV coverage and directing.

Beatriz did pretty well from what I saw until she got stuck in that mess (and apparently got a penalty for tapping carpenter). She should replace Marco.

TV director was like the 3th guy, a buzzkiller.

Sato went from 25th to 3rd, great drives from both.

great race folks, too bad Will Power won......for the third f*cking time he wins here...and he laughes at us being pissed with his win

I think race was ok, could have been a lot better. Helio and Bia were the two crowd loved the most, Helio for coming from 20th to 4th and Bia for the overtakes that made people go crazy! Barrichello raised too many expections but I think his race was ok considering he's still learning. Loved the experience, hoping for more next year...probably visiting the Teams working on their cars next year, I missed the tickets for the garage.

One of the best things were the Brazilian Air Force Jets crossing the grandstand at a low altitude, I've never seen anything like that.....man, that was unbelievable!

Gold gold gold

Oh look, Scott 'Caught up in other shit out of his control' Dixon got caught up in other shit out of his control

Finally found the failed attempt of barging by the brazilian reporter to interview Will Power.

Drivers had problems with the bottles at the podium ceremony, but I couldn't notice it in this pic

DIBS!

NBC Sports sometimes think they are the owners of the event, owners of exclusive interviews and etc....there was no way both reporters would lose any words of Will Power...that was ridiculous. If there were 10 or 15 reporters, I'd understand a dispute, but only two? Ridiculous...

The other reporter was asking in portuguese, it seems. How on earth you ask something to Will Power in portuguese.

Anyway, IndyCar posted the full race on Youtube.

Let's be fair, who sends out the Brazilian pit reporters to the US/Canada races (that consists of almost every race)?

Yeah, exactly.

According to the NBC reporter there was an agreement: Band would have priority on a interview if a brazilian driver had won the race. Otherwise, it'd go to NBC. If that's true, the brazilian reporter went against what had been agreed.

And sincerely: I don't get why Band would want priority to interview the driver that they had called earlier as "the villain".

And the brazilian reporter was making the question in english (he wouldn't be stupid enough to make question in portuguese to a driver who does not speak portuguese). Anyway, If there was this agreement, then f*ck this brazilian reporter....by the way, most reporters chosen by Band were really bad...most of them had no clue of what IndyCar was, always making stupid questions for drivers.

I miss the good old days SBT broadcasted CART FedEx, perhaps it was even better than the own north-american coverage from that time.

lol no

Ok, second best. SBT used to have a partnership with ABC those days, so there was a big share of information between the two channels. Our commentators and reporters also lived in the US and were in frequent contact with guys such as Paul Page, Jack Arute and etc. Téo José, our best IndyCar commentator of all times, he's learned everything he knows when he lived in the US, he's our version of Allen Bestwick nowadays.
