I'd rather they spent their money on the Sunday, rather than spreading it thinly over three days, when 99% of the audience couldn't care less about what is happening in a Ginetta Junior free practice session.

And let's not pretend that there is anything cheap about it. I reckon ITV is spending around £500,000 per weekend on this coverage.
