Formula 1 off-season: this looks expensive and of dubious value

A fair assessment of the Haas vacancy.

G-drive, the Russian team that Kvyat drives for, has withdrawn from the WEC since they refused to accept the FIA's conditions for Russian teams. So Kvyat is now without a ride.

It can't be said enough that G-Drive isn't a team. They're Gazprom paying Algarve Pro (and previously TDS, Graff and several others) to run cars. So they're saying it's about the conditions to save face but in reality Gazprom probably couldn't pay the bills anyway. Algarve Pro will likely run the car that doesn't rely on that funding under their own name in ELMS.

It might have been me that made the league but it wasn’t as dynamic as I expected so was a bit disappointing imo. I want super reactionary pricing. I want a drivers value to crater after a single bad race and instead it would change by like 0.5.

Maybe this year they’ll be more aggressive

F1 TV PRO is 20% off for new subs.


F1 got put behind a paywall in my country, so this is definitely the cheapest option to watch all races (besides finding streams).

lol, because I got the $26 one last year, I'm not eligible for the discounted $80 one. Oh well.

$80 is a good price if it means you don’t have to listen to Bumble and Croopsy for ~46 hours out of the year.

Not that surprising that a fail-son of a billionaire has never had to suffer any consequences in his life and fathom what it actually means when the world doesn't go your way.

“Haas has always been the major, primary sponsor, I don’t know why people said it became a Russian team. Haas Automation was always on the car,” he said.

He has dumped Uralkali but said the team is fine. Haas also co-owns a top NASCAR team with Tony Stewart.

“We’re good. We’re fine. We’d like more money, of course, but we’re fine,” he said. “This just gives us a bigger negative number.”

I seem to remember in the past people complaining about f1 tv’s streams being unreliable. How was the service last year? If I pay for this, what are the odds I’ll end up switching to an illegal stream mid-race because it’s faster?

I can only specifically remember 1 race being really bad last year, while the rest were seamless.

I won’t pay for F1TV again until they let me pause/rewind/fast forward races in progress. It’s god drat 2022 and the best way to watch is race is to sleep through 30-45 minutes of the start and then fast forward through the boring laps to catch up to live.

I cringe whenever I see something compressed with 264 these days. I would like to not have to upgrade the NAS's hard drives for a while.

Same, but even x264 doesn't take up that much space for HD videos unless you're encoding at an utterly stupid bitrate
