I completely missed it!

I have Sky F1 channel for this year now and was looking forward to watching a few Indy races along with the F1 races on there, but I keep forgetting to check when the races are!

So, Patrick Head's been drafted back in....... https://www.planetf1.com/news/head-returns-to-williams-as-a-consultant/ I was hoping they'd do that last year!

Can anyone else foresee an engine swap between Mclaren and Williams? That’s my bold prediction, Mclaren will negotiate and get themselves a Merc deal at the expense of Williams They did it with the Honda engine in 1988, so it wouldn't surprise me. Williams ended up with the Judd engine that year un...

some pretty interesting points here, well said. The definition of hate speech seems to fluctuate wildly depending on who is dong the defining. It's a dangerous path to tread and is often in conflict with the right to freedom of expression. I'm not talking obvious ones, like " all (insert demographi...

Do away with the fuel flow restrictions before you do anything about refueling! Agreed. I kind of wish with the engine regs they'd just said the only rule is you can only use x amount of KG of fuel per race. Go off and design what you like. 100% on this. I think the sport would be so much better of...

I've said this before though when I've watched Sky F1 occasionally over the years and I still believe it - the Sky presenting team are awful compared to Channel 4's. So wooden, fake and just boring. IF F1 ever goes back on free to air TV in the UK I will ditch Sky F1 in a heartbeat, it's rubbish co...

Well I watched the Australian GP on Sky Sports F1 after deciding to pay the £10 extra a month to get Sky Sports F1. It pained me to do it, but it's the only way I can get to watch the races live (without breaking the law!) and record the full race if I can't get to the TV in time. I've said this bef...

They've definitely portrayed the "tension" between Renault and Red Bull very well!

I've watched four episodes so far and have enjoyed it. Will probably watch the rest at some point this week.

IF they do this (and I'd prefer them not to!) it should be open to ALL cars on the grid and not just the top ten in my opinion. At least it might give the midfield teams, or a top team's driver who finds himself out of the points due to incidents in the race or qualifying, something to fight for to...

In the UK, I just noticed that if you already have Sky TV (but don't subscribe to any Sky Sports at present, like me) they are offering Sky Sports F1 channel for £10 a month, price guaranteed for two years......

That's actually very tempting.

SteveW

The darker blue fading to the lighter blue looks MUCH better than the original pale blue launch pics too.

So at least it looks a bit better than I thought it would

Let's see if it's as slow as has been rumoured (I sooooooo desperately hope not!)

SteveW

I've got a horrible feeling it'll be impossible to be a Williams F1 fan in the near future. That will probably be the point I switch off and stop watching F1 altogether if I'm honest. It probably sounds silly to a lot of you (or maybe it doesn't) but I find myself less enthusiastic about the start ...

SteveW

How about waiting to see what the car is actually capable of before writing them off? They have issues clearly, but other than rumors of a slow car we have no information to base opinion on... Well, I'm hoping they're doing a "Brawn", but in reality I am so very sad to say that I think we all know ...

SteveW

Fully agree here, I've supported Williams ever since I started watching F1 in the mid 80s. They will always be the team I support, but when you already have a good idea of how the season is going to end for Williams before it's even started, it doesn't make it easy to be remotely positive about thei...

SteveW

It looks quite boring, but not hideously "busy" like some F1 cars have been over the years so it's not ALL bad, but if it moves the team up even just a couple of places in the WCC next year I'll let them off

I moved house in November and we're on a new development that has fibre to every property. As part of my chosen ISP package I get free Sky TV for 18 months (the standard £20 entertainment package), so I can choose to add Sky F1 channel for £18 a month I think. I can stop it again as soon as the seas...

I'm sure I can't be the only one that thinks this about Max Verstappen....... I totally agree with anyone who says he has completely the wrong attitude, but isn't that part of what makes it fun to watch him?

Thanks for running the comp again this year Pokerman :) I completely missed the last race due to moving house and the extra stress of a new-build and all the snags etc!

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...

MistaVega23 wrote:So do C4 have any live races next year or just highlights of all?

Looks like they have the British GP only as a live race, all the rest just highlights.

But at least highlights are better than nothing I suppose!

Such a shame, as I honestly think the C4 team are better overall than the Sky team.
