Re: Now TV coverage in UK for 2020

I've just subscribed to Sky F1 for £10 a month on a 1 month rolling contract, so I can cancel anytime.
It's valid for 12 months so I should be able to see in next season as well.
This offer should be valid to anyone who has a standard Sky TV package.

Re: Italian GP and Ferrari Corona Virus

Dont worry, Ferrari & the FIA have come to an undisclosed agreement that the Virus isnt affecting them & that in no way will affect the Italian GP.
Anyone saying otherwise is wrong.

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

10 minute past the hour is to allow longer and better coverage for many regions where F1 is crammed into a schedule. Most TV shows are scheduled on the hour or half past the hour. In many regions F1 show would start at say 1pm and the race would start at 1pm. The coverage would literally start with...

I think it's important to note that nearly all of Hamilton's WDC's have come in the turbo-hybrid era. In this era all you really have to do to win the WDC is beat the guy in the other Merc. How many of the current grid would beat Bottas in the same car? 40-70% of them? Are they All-Time Greats as w...
