I've signed up in the UK, went monthly as I wasn't sure what I'd get for the £££. Annoyingly, when you're logged in it takes you to the F1 TV player and implies you can watch, you hit play and it takes you through the purchase process again then says you've already got a subscription. As I understan...

Seanie

Yeah, surely there's some sort of road sweeper or something they can modify to speed the process up / make it safer for marshals.

They don't even have wide brooms, they looked like regular household brooms.

Seanie

Aren't Honda the only option? Merc and Ferrari are a no-go and they basically decided a year ago that they were done with Renault... What other options are there?

Seanie

Makes good use of the space, rather than a dull black bar of nothing.

Seanie

Guys, you're all missing the point. McLaren have the best chassis..........

Seanie

There was an interesting (worrying?) conversation about the theme tune on the F1 Word last night https://youtu.be/OB1JF2PX92w?t=933 involving its use during the race. Have a listen and see what you think. One of the sources they reference i think is this tweet https://twitter.com/Fitcho_/status/976...

Seanie

Very little media/entertainment is free. You may think / feel its free, but there's usually adverts at least. I don't object to paying for F1, I think SKY's deal this year is very reasonable averaging out at £7.50 a race weekend, but I'd prefer the Network model with archive footage and on-demand op...

https://www.nowtv.com/watch-sky-sports-online Discounted season pass on now TV £150, offer till 25th March. This is tempting... £150 for 9 months. Still too much for me :( It’s basically the entire season. Less than £8 per entire weekend, including practice etc, isn’t bad IMO Its a good deal. I've ...

Seanie

Looks like a 2001 Jordan!

Seanie

That amazon series showed thay McLaren were just as much in disarray as Honda. I don't believe for one second that they'd be higher than 5th - 6th last year with any other engine. They went to great lengths to promote their chassis as one of the best, but in reality, there was no evidence to back th...

Also tempted.

I would happily pay for a delayed stream in the UK, so long as it was same day. I quite enjoy watching races before going to bed on a Sunday night anyway now. Can't see it happening though, I imagine SKY will fight any kind of on demand / streaming service being launched until 2025. Sky should get a...

Seanie

Well bye bye sky... It's the last in a long list of annoyances from them. This is the last straw. I have no interest in any other sports then F1 so refuse to pay silly money for what they offer in terms of F1. We're stuck with Sky until 2024 - It won't be available in the UK, legally until 2025. I'...

Seanie

Screw SKY.

I've been championing this idea for about 4 years, trust them to go and ruin it for those of us in the UK left without an easily accessible way to watch F1 after this season.

Seanie

They need to be top 5 this year at least. Im not convinced the engine switch will be the magic bullet they need to get back to the top 3.

Seanie

Back on the subject... I also enjoyed it, hoping there's a 2nd series from this season. I was surprised that the main problem running up to testing for McLaren last year wasn't the engine, but problems getting the floor together. Although the look on the engineers faces when talking about anyhing t...

Seanie

Hopefully, they pick up a title sponsor sometime soon to liven up that livery. I mean I like orange, but its a bit bland without anything else.

Seanie

What about the non-european races? The season was much easier to follow when they all had the same 2pm local time start.

Seanie

I don't really mind either way... I do feel sorry for the girls, it was quite a lucrative job and it has been taken away from them in a knee-jerk reaction to something completely unrelated in a completely different industry. Every actual Grid Girl I've seen talking about it has said how much fun the...

Seanie

I don't mind the new logo, really. Everything else about the visual identity changed, so the old logo was outdated. I don't mind the new logo, really.

Surely changing this rule would be once again adapting for the sake of the outlier? Surely it'd be adapting it to make it more suitable to the sport its applied to? There isn't likely to be more than 30 cars in the sport, I can't remember the last time there was, so if the penalty doesn't carry ove...

Seanie

If this the future of F1 with American owners, I'm glad its going behind a paywall in 2019 in the UK.

*only joking, it was hurrendous, but I doubt it'll happen again after the social media feedback.

Seanie

Does any driver deserve it? In a results driven sport, the words "deserve" and "fair" fall on deaf ears. But despite the cruelty of this sport, yes, the current regulations are truly and properly insane. Yes, I think applying a 30 grid place penalty when there are only 20 cars is ridiculous. 10-15 ...

Seanie

Does any driver deserve it?

Seanie

I feel like I've already signed off. I just don't expect them to improve much this year.

I say if its not working next year, just let it go and move.

Its just a shame that they'll have effectively tarnished the twilight years of 2 world champions' careers.

Seanie

I don't see what sauber have to lose. At worst, they'll stay where they are. The opportunities are greater with Honda over a year old engine.

Seanie

Do you'll think they'd do that? Over pulling out completely?

I guess they may want to at least have some success rather than failing completely. But financially they may just be done with it.

Seanie

Do you reckon Honda being so quick to void the deal, suggests they'd rather sauber found another supplier so they can shut this project down once McLaren announce their new supplier? Its a shame, and quite strange just how difficult they've found this engine... they're not exactly amatures when it c...

Seanie

I'm all for new teams, so if the Chinese government want to throw money at an average Chinese driver for their team, then lent them. They'll soon learn it takes more than money and either invest or quit.

Either way, it'll be fun watching them try.

Seanie

Button, Vandoorne, or both? Vandoorne has a 3 place grid penalty for Monaco. So he's starting 25th? Jenson has never driven these cars, I have no idea how he's going to fare at Monaco - I just hope he doesn't embarrass himself, but then again Honda are doing that for McLaren. I'd be surprised if an...

Seanie

I hope the car can get to the end. It's kinda cool he's got a chance to have a do over for his last race. I'm kind of hoping there is a freak race and he nabs a podium then for the rest of the season the McLaren can only score small points and he ends up winning the three-way team mate battle. :twi...

What's the point of retaining Button if he isn't going to drive when needed? I think JB wanted to retire, but Ron wanted to keep him as a "driver" because the sponsors love him, and he didn't want him signing a deal with sky or Channel 4. Would be nice to see him come back, but her seems done with ...

I can see him not lasting the year. Taking next season out and maybe returning for one or two years if a top seat becomes available in 2019.

But this could be it for him.

Seanie

The problem with just “switching to mercedes” is that McLaren probably believes that there is NO way that McLaren will ever get the equal works engine that the factory team gets. I tend to agree, there is no way Merc would allow that, and I am sure there are a lot of games that are played to assure...

Seanie

I wonder if Alonso is thinking about taking that sabbatical?

Seanie

In all seriousness, they're going to need to get a big sponsor sometime soon, surely? Three years without a big one must be hindering them financially by now?

Seanie

Great to have Spyker back on the grid!

Seanie

Is it possible they know Alonso more than likely won't be with them in 2018, either retiring or they've decided they're not going to negotiate with him? He's great, probably one of the best, but he's developed a trait for clocking off when he's not racing for points or a decent position. Not great w...
