Are you sure they said blackout? On the F1 site there is a story about "McLaren Lockout of the front row". I didn't hear anything on the broadcast about a blackout....but, I could have missed it.

Since the crawl is created and provided by Speed, it's unlikely (but not impossible) that they would report on a blackout of the race in Europe. It's 100% unlikely that Speed will blackout the race to you and I since they have a contract with Bernie to show it and since they are paying those three guys anyway and all they have to do is run the live "Bernie feed" from the satellite...
My guess is that they were referring to Canada. Lots of Canadian F1 fans prefer the Speed coverage to the annoyance of the Canadian source (I forget who provides it) so Speed blacks out their feed to Canada and they do mention it every now and then.
Just a guess, though. We watched the qualifying but I completely tune out the crawl so I didn't see it.
Since you DVRd it, go back and find it

Do you like the new celeb interview format after the race? Everyone seemed so "stiff" at Spa, except KImi who seem himself.

re: Kimi
After last week's race one of the commentators at planetf1.com had this to say about Kimi. We laughed
"It was another great race for Kimi, not that you could tell what sort of race it was from his post-race demeanour. There is a degree of autism in his behaviour. The lack of eye contact, the discomfort of face-to-face interviews, the failure to see the need for an answer to what is a blindingly obvious question is all part of it."

Edit: I went back and looked at our DVRd qualifying session and yes, that's Speed's standard bit about blacking out Canada. They've been doing that for years now.http://planetf1.com/race-features/80...ers-Belgian-GP

Perez impressive
wish Massa had podiumed.
That would have been very cool for him to be on the (insane) podium. Running that kind of race tactic and making it work (aka racecraft) will carry him up the ladder-of-teams quite nicely.Pretty good race.

Canada for sure and maybe Mexico.
That was Sauber's plan for him from the beginning. Worked out pretty nicely, too.
I agree 100% That would have been very cool for him to be on the (insane) podium. Running that kind of race tactic and making it work (aka racecraft) will carry him up the ladder-of-teams quite nicely.
Pretty good race.
