I'd be surprised if they do the £150 deal this year, I wouldn't if I had exclusivity - I'd be directing all my advertising and marketing at recruiting new Sky customers.

Seanie

Now TV are advertising F1 (and all the other sport) for £20/month for the first 3 months.

Will be surprised if they do a season pass.

Arrivbene was axed for coming second. Claire not axed for years of poor results - Why? Don't Williams want to win as badly as Ferrari? I'm with the opinion she needs to let someone else take charge and she can take on another role. Her bring in charge bring zero confidence. They're probably just a ...

I watched the Williams documentary at the weekend, it was quite sad at the end with them asking Frank if he thought he'd see the team be competitive again.

I wish I had his faith. I can't see them moving forward without major investment.

Seanie

I've got a horrible feeling it'll be impossible to be a Williams F1 fan in the near future.

Seanie

Their test liveries are always much more interesting than the default livery the end up racing in.

Don’t know if anyone else finds this, but my viewing habits have completely changed over the past few years, where almost everything I want to watch is at my convenience on catch-up. The fact that F1 finds itself way behind the curve regarding people’s viewing habits is frustrating, but I’m pretty ...

Looks like they tasked the work experience with 5 mins photoshop experience with replicating the Mercedes livery.

I took the sky offer last year, but still found myself favouring Channel4, even sometimes just waiting for highlights. I doubt Sky will do a NowTV offer this year, there's little reason for them to. Which is a shame as I'm not prepared to pay £35 a month for NowTV Sport or however much actual sky is.

Seanie

Channel 4 haven't decided who's going to produce their Highlights show yet.

I really hope they stick with Whisper, with as much of the current presenting team as possible...

Seanie

Whilst Ocon was at fault during the race, getting physical should not be tolerated.

Seanie

Pleased about this. Good news all round . Well deserved by Russel, British driver at Williams is nice, and good to see Williams taking a new driver on merit not ££££. Is it on merit or are they getting something from Mercedes for it? If Mercedes won't buy Ocon a seat then I don't see them buying Ru...

It seems they forgot to order tyres for this race so pirelli have given them an even split so lots of mediums they wont use. What has happened to my team! - source all over the media. I find that a bit...curious. One would have thought that Pirelli would have been in touch with them long before now...

Seanie

Nah, not yet, they just need to commit to promoting drivers from their programs to the works team. Once they do that, then a b team might be useful to enhance their YDP.

Hotshotting a team because they neglected to think of where theyd put the drivers would probably end in disaster.

Seanie

Ooof, those concepts look really racey.

I agree, the proof will be in the pudding, we've had regulation changes before that have promised more overtaking and here we are, again.

Seanie

Looks very sleek.

Kinda like a hybrid between those "ideal for aero F1 car" drawings you see from time to time... and a current F1 car

Seanie

Don't complain. At least sky have given a channel the outlet too show the hilights. Whether it's sky production. Whisper films production or something in between. When the initial announcement was made. Many believed that this would signal the end of formula 1 on mainstream tv. Atleast we now have ...

It'll be Sky F1 crappy highlights won't it? I mean better than nothing but still a terrible deal for UK fans. Channel 4's coverage is lightyears ahead of Sky's, Sky's mantra seems to be quantity over quality, I'd rather have 45 mins of analysis than 2+ hours of chatting to anyone they can grab hold...

A few more thoughts. if Bianchi did not died in the accident, Raikkonen would be already out of F1. Also, taking a seat in Sauber is not good for young hopes of lower series. When will they have a chance to take a F1 seat? Looks like Ferrari has really strong faith in Leclerc, since no other young ...

Seanie

Really surprised that Kimi has gone to Sauber. Right back to where he started...

Hopefully it'll be a mutually beneficial partnership that'll bring Sauber funding and investment to put them back at the front of the mid-field where he left them in 2001.

Seanie

I imagine the F1 Young Driver Program scouts are circling, primed to lock him in for the next 10 years of his career.

Seanie

Part of me is disappointed that Kimi won't be going there, although I never seriously believed it would happen anyway. Judging by the rumours gathering pace it seems he'll be out of F1 at the end of the year It would have just added to McLaren giving another underwhelming exit from the sport. McLar...

Verstappen thinks hes still in go karts.

Is reaction to any kind of penalty is incredibly immature.

I admit, I am lucky I subscribe to sky and get the F1 channel but I got it when I subbed for HD, my TV ariel doesn't work I need sky for normal TV. I was hoping that when Liberty took over from Bernie they would want to allow non pay per-view channels to share the rights to F1 like they do at the m...

Yeah, its been common knowledge for ages. Was discussed at the time. There'll be no live races or highlights, sky has sole broadcast rights. Steve Jones made a passing comment about it when discussing the driver movements for 2019, something alomg the lines of "they'll be here next year, well we won...

Feels a bit like hes trying to make the narrative that hes retiring, despite offers from a top 3 team.

McLaren have confirmed he's not racing in F1 next year.

Are people really putting Alonso in Ricciardo's seat?

Probably not with a Honda badge on the car.

I think he'll take a "sabbatical" that'll end probably up being a full on retirement.

Seanie

Shocker. He was not in a great mood at Austria, probably even worse after the race - the writing has been on the wall. Question is, will this be the latest "We've got rid of X, so we'll be better now - the chassis is the best on the grid!!!" excuse from McLaren, or will anything actually change? To ...

The tyres are too strong, like back when bridgestone were producing a tyre that could go a whole race. Sending the softest tyres should not result in one stop races. Brundle said on SKY's coverage, what we need is marginal 1-2 or 2-3 stop races. Don't make the races an easy one stop, make it so we h...

Christ. 3 DRS zones and i can barely remember there being any overtakes. Lewis' girlfriend ballsing up the chequered flag was the highlight of an otherwise dull race. It apparently wasn't her fault, but why was she even up there? What is Liberty's obsession with celebrity? If the race hadn't of been...

Seanie

It’s easy to forget that in 2013 and 2014 McLaren were already a midfield team before the switch to Honda engines. Ever since Tim Goss took over their cars have been underwhelming. Yeah, they did a great job convincing everyone that honda was the root of all their problems that most people forget t...
