Also the television rights to F1 are controlled by one company so there is only one film crew at each race. You would not have seen anything else (unless you lived in Europe and purchased the expensive satellite package that lets you do all sorts of crazy stuff like watch from any incar cam you want). The commentators are at the mercy of the tv producer as to what they (and the public) see and get to talk about. Even if it was on Speed, then it was either an ABC rebroadcast or Speed commentators over the ABC footage.
