Don't even bother with the low on-boards Liberty/FIA, can't see the track or anything ahead. Need to put the camera in the front of the Halo.

Yeah at this point just make it a nose cam, although that's a shame because its nice being able to see the wheel and driver.

Maybe do the Indycar helmetcam thing, not sure if that would be better or worse.

Well, the streaming service isn't available anywhere right now, so... yes?

Also, only airing the race counts for keeping the broadcast rights, and as long as TSN manages that, they will keep it locked up.

My point is that Canada has been excluded entirely because of what you just said gently caress TSN

Fraud if the year will be Bottas, who will score a win by just being boring and keeping out of the way of some impatient divebombing :frog: action

Okay here's a halo cam angle that works. Can see the steering wheel and also over the halo to the road in front.

Still less cool but at least it works.

The halo is so bad. I honestly think the risk of not having one is completely outweighed by their ugliness.

Note Hamilton was on ultrasoft and Vettel was on supersoft, right? So that's a big difference right there.

But none of this matters its not real until qualifying.

E: Red bull also on supersoft, although it looks like one of them was on ultrasoft? Not sure...
