My beef with the C4 highlights is how long they are. I want a show that gets into action quickly, has about 1 hour of highlights, plus some chit chat at the end for those that want it.
As a dad, who gets to sit down with the F1 when everyone is in bed, I don't really have the time for a 2 hour 30 show. It is rare a GP really needs more than hour of highlights anyway. With all the stuff on youtube now, if you want extra content, you can fill your boots.
Edit - just remembering with fondness the good old days of waking up hungover on Sunday and getting my duvet down on the sofa and watching the whole thing live on BBC. Different times.

I think that might be part of their licensing agreement for the highlights though, this is only a vague recollection but I think they have to show equal amounts of highlight and fluff. Which is why you're stuck with Steve asking "hilarious" questions about drivers favorite sheep or whatever.
I'm with you though, get the highlights on fast then waffle at the end so I can change channel!

This. There's just no need for a show that long.
BBC was before my time but I spent many a Sunday in the company of Jim Rosenthal and the ITV crew.

That's why I record and then fast forward through all the 'hilarious' wittering.

The C4 highlights would be so much more paletable if they didn't have Steve Jones in them.
Good news for Russell, despite wanting him to go out and get a podium though I do kind of feel Botas is probably just going to have a procession to the win.
