Annabella Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Good race but now it on c4 they have to have adverts not to bad for a highlights race but for a live race that's going to be so off putting to watch. No ads during live race, just before start and at parc ferme. http://f1broadcasting.co/2016/03/15/channel-4-confirms-f1-ad-break-plan-for-live-races/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rajinder Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 f1 is dead Totally agree, don't watch it any more. Taken to more exciting sport, bird watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Totally agree, don't watch it any more. Taken to more exciting sport, bird watching. I bet the in and out of competition drugs testing is strict. I can see the headlines now - 'Acne riddled 45 year old Bird Watcher who still stays with his parents, banned for 4 years after competing off his nut' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Glad to see that Ferrari were closer to the Mercedes, how that pans out on different circuits we'll see. Sad that McClaren hasn't made better progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad that McClaren hasn't made better progress. At least they got round (barring crashes) and weren't 5 secs off the pace this year. They should be able to improve........

Nic Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 Formula 1 will no longer be shown on terrestrial television from 2019 after Sky Sports announced it had agreed an exclusive deal to broadcast the sport. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-35889736 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-35889736 Expect Sky to offer out F1 channel for free for a period of time, then increase the price drastically. F1 commercial will then suffer and it will come back to terrestrial TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annabella Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-35889736 Just trying not to read much of it as it's making my blood boil. It'll just screw it up as the masses don't get to see something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree,as someone who is not massively into other sports I don't feel it,s worth me taking sky sports just for F1,however if it was a stand alone channel at reasonable cost I might be tempted.

jamesmark Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I wonder if the highlights channel will be similar to how BBC and C4 do it now, few hours after the race. If so it might not be too bad. Strange it was mentioned I think on Chris Evans breakfast show by Vassos that drivers were moaning about aspects of F1 and one was they did not like the sport heading towards pay TV, low and behold this was announced later today.

Style Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Qualifying format from Australia will be used at the next race in Bahrain due to no agreement being reached. So we're in for another empty Q3 session http://www.bbc.com/sport/formula1/35896875 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spunkmeyer Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 OMG this quali argument is driving me to boredom! Agree 2016 format is pants but they the disagree to revert to 2015 as its not exciting enough!! It's blindingly obvious to me that to keep all (Q3) cars fighting to the end of the quali period - they have free reign to use up as many tyres as they wish. If they think they have some lost time on a lap - let them keep going until they decide thats the best I can do... And it's not as fast as LH. Holding off competing because they don't want to compromise the race strategy is the flaw here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 The governing body want to change the original format and not go back to how it was in 2015, the teams were all in agreement apparently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spunkmeyer Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Yep no 2015 or 2016. I read the teams wanted 2015 but FIA don't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesmark Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I was always under the impression by comments from other drivers and team heads that Jenson Button was deemed as the hardest working and a PR dream in the paddock. Mixed bag of feelings about his awful start to the season, part of me is glad to see him in this position but he will be an irritating cry baby as he is not getting his own way. But if he does win he will just be an irritating c#@nt. Hopefully if he does not owe the sport anything, he will F off after his contract has expired.

johnny g Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I was always under the impression by comments from other drivers and team heads that Jenson Button was deemed as the hardest working and a PR dream in the paddock. Rosberg and Ricciardo too. Hamilton is just a turbotosser. Really thinks he's bigger than the sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonR24 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Have to agree with the above really Hamilton is an absolute tool. Jenson is the guy that comes across as most genuine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Not a repeat of SPA, this one was worse - Hope hammy gets the full brunt of the Merc Management & FIA. Pleased that Rosberg flexed his elbows for a change - he had the right to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formatzero Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Yeh agreed,for ages DC has been saying Rosberg is not aggressive enough and when he is, he gets blamed by DC for the accident !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Rosberg at fault imo, he had the car in the wrong mode according to the Sky footage that Ant Davidson went through after the race then put Hamilton on the grass Quite surprised at the stewards result but not bothered in the slightest Fair play to Max getting his first win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
