I got a bit confused for a while with that. The Toro Rosso does indeed sound like an an engine in extreme pain, but to a lesser extent so does the red bull.

Works Renault and McLaren = sweet as a nut.
Force India = ok, not perfect but alright
Red bull = squaaaark judda judda pffft.

I can only say “rofl”

It is understood that other ideas being looked at are improving the sound of engines through a new position of on-board microphones, use of music in the race broadcasts and more regular use of a highlights reel to showcase dramatic moments

Holy gently caress Liberty is bad

My child, our faith is often tested but we shall remain steadfast. Remember Rexona 16:4 - Then The Stroll said to Paddy Lowe, “Behold, I am about to rain podiums from heaven for you, and the people shall go out and gather a fortnight's portion every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in my law or not."

How did SkyF1 end up choosing that loving awful song anyway? Did they figure that since they were poo poo in general*, they might as well pick the shittiest music imaginable for their opening?

Also, do they still have Lewis going NICO HIT ME :qq: in the intro? That was the best part.

*still a million times better than MTV3's F1 coverage in Finland :negative:

Martini is an upscale product that loves to sponsor classy British icons like James Bond or Bernie's Formula 1

They want nothing to do with the Fast and the Furious meets Two and a Half Men monstrosity that the Americans are trying to make F1 into

""We have this fictitious idea of a 22-year-old person who is not an F1 fan but who has a friend who is an avid friend and tells him to watch [a race]," explained Bratches. "So when that person tunes in, we want them to understand what is going on"

My 28 years old ex followed the race just fine, and she was a fan of Scuderia Ferrari. Singapur was a loving nightmare.


"Bratches also said that fans could expect the sport's first-ever proper marketing campaign – with previous supremo Bernie Ecclestone never seeing the benefit of investing his money in doing so.

"We will have our first marketing campaign for F1," said Bratches. "The concept of it is 'engineered insanity'"

Next the drivers wont be called drivers, they will be called sport entertainers



"We are also rebuilding our website. We've a brand new eSports platform. There will be four fan festivals this year. We are detonating the fan zones at GPs.

Sean Bratches is a probable lizard person who speaks a marketing drone dialect of Ronspeak, but if Liberty manage to give us a half-decent streaming platform (preferably one that works in Finland with or without a VPN) I'll excuse all the dumb poo poo they've ever said.

Nah, it was the first of their properly good season wrap up videos. 2010 iirc. Sky didn't get the rights until a few years later.

Also, during 'Senna Week' they ham-fistedly edited the lyrics of the song for all the programming that week, which was weird as hell because the lyrics have already been changed for TV broadcast ('died a thousand times' is changed to 'lived a thousand times').
