The old Hockenheim was usually a complete snoozefest. New layout, with all it's faults, is way better.

Watkins Glen is still a pretty cool track and probably more easily adapted to F1 standards

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gN8OodSStO0 I don't get the hatred of Watkins Glen. The long course is pretty cool. Road America is 20 turns that look virtually the same.

Carth Dookie posted:Why? Maybe I'm remembering wrong, but aside from some petulance where Lewis tweeted some timing data to try to show the world why he was slower than Jenson in Belgium one year, I don't recall any tension. Certainly not in the way Lewis and Rosberg were. It was all very petty stuff. Like when he complained that Jenson stopped following him on Twitter...except Jenson never followed him the first place!

It's really not just about the position of her knee, her ankle is also bad. It could have been done because Williams wanted something on the car shopped out and her leg suffered rather than the other way round. I'm not even sure which exact car that is, shouldn't that decal come with visible rear suspension and/or carbon fibre above the barge board? Never back down, eh?

I think Brundle is quite good. He's better at talking about the cars handling than Coultard, I think and he clearly loves the sport. Crofty is almost as bad as James Allen. In fact, I think he's worse, with the public school nicknames and mannerisms. Ted is similar. Ted especially drives me nuts. I don't care about him, only the information he can delivers, which he often fails to do. Legard wasn't very good, but he didn't annoy me, so just based on that, I think he was the least worst of the 'modern' batch. Oh and Eddie Jordan should just go jump in a lake. What an obnoxious prick. How on earth did he ever manage to run a F1 team?

learnincurve posted:I dunno about F1 drivers if it were me and Horner told me to go sit by the toilets I'd be wondering why Horner could not go to the cheap seat himself, given that it was a team gently caress up, and would be quietly filing that little moment under "revenge". What part of 'double-booked' didn't you understand?

learnincurve posted::/ the team booked with an airline that double booked it's business class seats. In Britain the person who booked the seats or thier boss would be held responsible as a matter of standard practice. No need to be such an arse. No they wouldn't. It's the airlines screw-up and completely out of control of the person who booked it. Stop making poo poo up.

I used my old UK address to buy NHL GameCenter Live, which would black out 2-3 random games per week. This was great until the playoffs and the whole scheme fell apart as they showed them all on some obscure UK channel.

1500quidporsche posted:All of Canada is a secondary market for the Blue Jays and the team actively told MLB to gently caress off and not black out the games so it isn't. "Shockingly" there's been a huge groundswell of support for the Jays among young people in recent years. A lot of that was plan old bandwagon jumping. A couple of crappy seasons and all the Blue Jays caps will disappear again here in Vancouver . Similarly, there's been a disturbing outbreak of Oilers jerseys this year.
