That being the case why are you watching Sky and Crofty, for my part I have Sky Sports anyway for the football etc, so I wouldn't want to be paying extra for F1 TV which I believe we don't have access to anyway in the UK. Poker, I'm convinced that you do not read posts very carefully before you rep...

EPROM

Yeah I can remember the Americans being frustrated by the poor coverage they were getting and being somewhat envious of what we were getting across the pond, they get what we are getting but some are still not happy it seems. I'm actually happy - because I no longer feed the need to watch Sky's fee...

Better late than never... very busy at work and in my social life right now, to the point where I haven't even watched anything from Canada and had to go out my way to fit the 500 in. Things will hopefully settle down for a double update in the Monaco poll. Yeah, sometimes it is just crazy. Good lu...

I believe it was via the Speed Channel (up until circa 2012?), it wasn't non-existent. And Speed was on cable, so not free, I don't think they were complaining that it wasn't free anymore. Maybe our fellow forumers form the US can confirm though. I didnt say there wasnt a broadcast, I referred to t...

So it is better than DRS and we should be happy ? Not if you don't care for cars being able to overtake one another I guess. and we go in circles again... That's what F1 tends to do without the overtaking aids. I am pretty sure that kind of going around in circles is something that all forms of tra...

EPROM

Yes I've just noticed it's yet another American complaining, I wish they would put their hands in their pockets rather than cheaply piggy backing off a British broadcast then I would no longer have to hear about British bias. Kind of funny that before they had access to Sky F1 broadcast viewership ...

Not according to my numbers. Well, please do post them - and your analysis. A pointer might be 41-0 in qualifying for Alonso that just happened by chance I guess, Alonso is running at 0.5s quicker this season the biggest gap he's achieved against Stroll. Let's not gaslight here that I'm supporting ...

EPROM

Well it wouldn't be us that are complaining about bias coverage, it's seems to be a problem for some others. Would be great for the yanks to get their own broadcast, Id be able to laugh at them mispronouncing the name of every single foreign driver and watch 80% of the race talking about cadillac a...

A very easy and clear question: What is the "pinnacle of motorsports" in your opinion? Which series, which championship? Can you provide a clear answer? As I stated in this post - https://forum.planetf1.com/viewtopic.php?p=989140#p989140 - it's not what's the current pinnacle - but do the changes e...

I've checked the lap times Russell was clear of the power boost zone for 5 laps and the 2 of them were posting identical times, then Russell made his mistake giving Antonelli the lead, Antonelli then posted 2 laps 4 tenths quicker than Russell taking him out of the power boost zone but then immedia...

Shhh ... we don't want another Hamilton-Bottas-Pérez-Verstappen comparison debate :-P Up until Canada Bottas was in front, we just for it to pendulum the other way it seems. :?: I have race qualifying 3-2 for Pérez and from what I saw in races is that Bottas could not match Pérez. Probably hit a ne...

This statistic doesn't really mean that much this year as Stroll has been getting by him on lap 1 on quite a few occasions. The gap also closed quite a bit as well last year.

EPROM

What is the "pinnacle of motorsports" in your opinion? In my view, the pinnacle of motorsports is that category that is the most demanding from its drivers. That would quite obviously include fast cars, but more importantly cars where the very best can make a difference. And a step up from other ca...

EPROM

What's wrong with the British broadcaster talking up the British drivers? The old nugget British bias. Obviously the British commentators, working to create a product for the British audience are going to have some degree of bias (at least in terms of excitement) for the British bias. I don't think...

Man crofty is so overexcited when hamilton overtakes a car rather than anyone else. MASTERCLASS overtake. The ferrari is certainly better, and Hamilton should have passed simply ages ago.

The podium looks to be rather solidified now (again, barring mechanical failure). Nice leap by the track worker.

EPROM

Perez is fighting with Ocon and has just got by, and Bottas is now a minute behind. The last 3 races have to have been one of the biggest gaps between any team mates over multiple consecutive races in a long time. Bottas certainly does not seem happy with the car. Edit - saying that, what just happ...

damn... what a shame that is

Absolutely. It seems like the race's top order is now pretty well set at this point - barring additional reliability issues (or wetness).

Looks like a disastrous day for McLaren. Currently neither driver is in the points - by a wide margin. Wow...

Merc certainly is performing well above the other teams - even with the dicing time losses of their Russell and Antonelli.

A wet race on the cards????? Fingers crossed. I hope it does or crofty will be talking about it approaching to overemphasize how big of a deal it is how he always does... I'm so happy not to have to listen to Crofty anymore (for no more cost in addition my nominal video subscription bundles)!

You also said that slowing the cars down mean that they are no longer the pinnacle of the sport, your arguments are all over the place. Indeed. One thing that sets sport achievements apart is that these get bettered over time. Hence sports adapts where necessary. We see that for example in tennis (...

When I first heard about this, sepsis was unfortunately my first thought, just because of how quickly it seemed to happen. I lost a friend to sepsis a few years ago during COVID. He was fit, healthy, and only in his mid 30s. He was literally chatting away in our WhatsApp groups, and 18 hours later ...

I'll still maintain that the clarity and ambiguity of such a rule to invalidate the timed runs (i.e., drop the driver to the bottom) of the current session make any assessment of intent unnecessary - and would likely positively influence driver behavior during the sessions. But that would naturally ...

I don't know if it's relevant or not, but as long as they are faster than F2, I don't care how fast the cars can lap a circuit. I'd happily take cars that were 10 seconds a lap slower if they behaved like mid 90s cars. Of course, they would then have to slow F2 as well. Add to that the fact that sp...

Just watched the highlights. The initial brief lockup by Alonso looked accidentle, but the lockup causing the heavier crash almost looked deliberate. Why didn't he head towards the run of after makign the initial mistake? I honestly wonder if he knew that if he caused a red flag, he would keep SQ2 ...

Is it not fairly typical that lap times at the start of a new set of regulations are slower than they are at the end of the previous set? That's why we don't see fastest ever lap records broken every year. In particular that they deliberately reduced the downforce in order to make the cars slower i...
