Re: Has Lewis Hamilton taken his last victory?

I think if Hamiltons car is still no good in 2023 I think he might go to Ferrari 4 2 seasons just to see if he can get that 8th WDC because I would love to see him make history and it would be ironic for Hamilton to make history in a ferrari let's see what happens in a few years 😉 I can't see him g...

Re: Mazepin set to lose his seat

Re: Now TV coverage in UK (updated for 2021)

Just noticed on Now TV they have added sport to on demand. Looks like a lot of 2020 sessions are available on demand as well as the pre/post shows. This makes paying £25 for it far more palatable. Was annoying when you'd miss the start or part of a session and not be able to watch it until a repeat.

Yeah £25 is better than £34, but still a lot. Hopefully, when the deal comes up for renewal Channel 4 get a chance at taking the rights, their ratings are usually pretty good - surely that means something to Liberty.
