Re: Coverage "improvements" that are just not working out.

I don't know if this counts and I'm probably alone with this opinion, but I can't stand the cameras that are run over by the cars, presumably to give some sense of speed or how close they are. All they do for me is make me want to close my eyes until they switch to a different camera again.

Re: 2020 Dutch Grand Prix?

I think the track is awesome, but over the last few years it's been almost impossible to overtake in Formula 3, though that doesn't always translate to how hard it is in F1. Think I might prefer it to tracks where there's a car park to turn around in if you go off either way, though.

It's good enough for me, been using it since Melbourne and mostly watched it as a replay an hour or so after the race has finished, or more.

At this point I feel like it would be more interesting to see him challenge in Indy or something rather than drag a lower midfield car around year after year. It's a shame he wasted so many years in crappy cars, but imo he has himself to blame for that in part.

Yes, according to the blog of one of the TV commentators on F1 and F2 in Sweden, he was offered a seat in F2 but turned it down, something about being worried what would happen if he should fail to perform well vs the safety of staying with long term friends BMW.

It's such a shame his closest rival in F3 last year turned down an offer from an F2 team to instead race in DTM due to his long relationship with BMW.
