I didn't catch any of the FP. Any specific reason the Hassholes were so slow or are they just shitter than Manor?

F1 is the pinnacle of terrible ideas. I'm not sure why anyone is surprised this latest "improvement" is a disaster. Also, a true F1 fan will always be angry with the sport.

Max is great fun. Anyone who thinks otherwise should be hit with a belt. It would be a dull sport if everyone was a nice as Big John.

F1 is dead in the UK http://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/sky-secures-exclusive-f1-broadcast-agreement-681864/ "Live Formula 1 races will be taken off free-to-air television in the United Kingdom from 2019, after Sky agreed a new exclusive broadcast agreement with the sport's chiefs."

be nice wicka posted:http://www.jamesallenonf1.com/2016/03/analysis-the-numbers-show-why-formula-1-took-the-exclusive-sky-deal/ £1 billion for F1 over 6 years is a loving rip-off. That's about £8,000,000 a race before the cost of actually hosting it airing it, producing it etc. ........but it sort of adds up. 1 million viewers at approx £15 per race would seemingly give a clear profit before ad revenue is added in. It's a shocking rip off, but you can see how Sky are raking it in, even with relatively lovely viewing figures compared to the BBC.

serious gaylord posted:Theres no way sky are getting 1 million viewers a race. I'd be surprised if they clear 100,000. I'm pretty sure they were peaking at around 1 - 1.5 million last season compared to BBC's average of 2-3 million. I'd google it, but I can't be bothered. But as wicka said, if sky gets another 250,000 subscribers because of the loss of free-to-air, that's another £78million or so a year, so what do they care if only 40% of them watch all the races.

Until that time though, Bernie's response to teams facing sponsorship difficulties will be "Tough, not my problem."

Secondly it will be worn by sweaty 40 year old virgins who will sit themselves next to any woman who seems to be on her own, and will be torn between creeping on her or wanting to make themselves feel superior by explaining every little thing that is going on. There are two types of UK race fans. This is the most accurate post that has ever been posted on the internet.

ukle posted:Never ever use the Channel 4 website. Its far less stressful to find a dodgy stream than to actually use the turd that is Channel 4's website. Its slightly bizarre how 2 out of the 5 main UK broadcasters have such poo poo websites, especially given the other 3 have such good ones (although channel 5's web content probably only has 1 user a minute, so would probably fall over if they had something worth watching on it.). Channel 4's online service is essentially just a streaming ad service. And a pile of poo poo.

Bernie's got some good ideas to shake up qualifying: "A couple of ideas – either a ballot, which they [the teams] don't like, which is not very sophisticated. "Or I suggest leave qualifying exactly as it is and don't touch it and then add a time on. So if somebody is on pole, you can take the results of the previous race or the championship, and add two or three seconds or whatever the amount is, to the time of the qualifying. "You will find maybe the guy who is on pole would be 10th on the grid or eighth, and that will go all the way down." Obviously when I say "good ideas" I mean that he's opened his mouth and a tsunami of effluent has erupted out all over the nearest journalists. Still, it's better than the current format.

You know when I asked earlier if anything had been going on? The answer was clearly "no, everything is just the same as always." I like you both. Also, I think someone here got married recently as I have them as a friend on facebook. However, I only know their real name and cannot remember who it was in here. So congratulations, random American facebook friend and fellow SA poster with a username I have forgtotten.
