Mexico on the 2014 calendar....

Wanted to get others comments on this proposal. For me, I think it's just silly and dangerous. First and foremost, Mexico has serious issues with safety and crime. I'm not sure if the stories that reach us in Texas are as widely distributed elsewhere in the rest of the world, but I wouldn't visit th...

Re: Just say no to crack.

I mean, I am pretty sure of what I saw, but I won't be able to check it again until I get home from work tonight.

It was on lap 11, 13, 32 or 33 (those were the McLaren's pit laps) so maybe someone can check (checo?) in the meantime?

I'd love independent confirmation of what I THOUGHT I saw.

Just say no to crack.

Did anyone else notice the McLaren rear jack man during a pitstop?

Seems old boy forgot his knickers and was showing off his asset when he bent over to lift the car!

I can't remember the driver or lap, but I have it on my DVR. :]

Re: NBC Monaco coverage: WTF HAPPENED?!!

I don't really know what all the confusion is about. In Houston, NBC did not air the race. ONLY NBCSN aired the race. So when I checked the guide to record, the ONLY option was NBCSN. THE PROBLEM IS, my recording started with the overage from the live coverage. I turned on my recording to see the en...

Re: NBC Monaco coverage: WTF HAPPENED?!!

If there is no consistency in how a network (or networks) will air a program, it causes chaos.... Situations like this render DVR pointless.

NBC Monaco coverage: WTF HAPPENED?!!

I was out of town and recorded the coverage on my DVR. When I returned to watch it, the recording opened with the podium ceremonies and recap and THEN showed the whole race. :-x WHAT THE F**K?!?!?!?!!! Did this happen to anyone else? My settings were all correct. Needless to say, I'm tiddled.

Re: Varsha To Replace Leigh Diffy - Three Races NBC US Cover

My god guys, give Diffey a chance. The other three have worked together for YEARS and you dont just get that chemistry overnight. Give them a few races and it'll be good. That's true and I don't want to be too harsh on Diffey but I totally agree with Blake on the token American. But I wouldn't go s...

Re: Varsha To Replace Leigh Diffy - Three Races NBC US Cover

My take is this: if the effort is to appeal to North Americans, why have ALL four broadcasters be non-North American?

Re: NBC F1 coverage thread

Overall I'm happy with the coverage but, man, do I miss Varsh.

Listening to Diffey bark makes me want to hit myself in the face with a shoe over and over. It's just not a good broadcasting voice.

NBC F1 coverage thread

Thought I'd start this thread so that there could be a common source of information for us Americans about NBC's F1 coverage. We are 2.5 weeks away from Australia and I am nervous...will races be aired live? Will practice and qualifying be aired at all? Will race coverage have a "pre-show" or will c...

Re: Bernie confirms 2014 Mexican GP talks

I would go to a race in Mexico except I don't want to be murdered. Not said in jest. Mexico has horrendous problems with violence and kidnappings right now. I sometimes forget that the rest of the world might not hear about it as much we here in Texas do. Aside from that....I can't imagine the logic...

Question about radio scanner headsets at F1 races...

Can spectators use radio scanners at F1 races? I've used them before at (the now-defunct) CART races and I know NASCAR encourages their use, but I didn't know if there was any value in having a set for the Austin F1 race. Do the teams broadcast their pit-to-driver communications unencrypted? Very fu...

Re: Favourite Team Radio

I love the contrast you get with Ferrari, Alonso and his engineer have these passionate and intricate conversations in Italian while Massa has a gruff Northern bloke barking down the radio at him. Was it Alonso's win this year in Malaysia when his engineer said (in a thick Italian accent): "That wa...
