I like England and I don't mind Lewis too much although I don't want him to win but really what I hate are the British media. We can all agree on this surely, the British media are the worst of all medias.

I was just cruising the NBC Sports website and it says that they will have some dedicated streams for every race/quali/practice including driver tracking, a dedicated pit lane feed, and on-board feeds.

It seems amazing, did they have this last year?

Yeah they've had that for a while but I never knew if it was because I could log in with a legit cable co. account or if it was free to the public

Actually I think a Honda engineer would say that they're working on 14 independent unrelated projects all of which are likely to solve that problem real soon.

English fans just don't want to admit that the most objectively fraudulent WDC was clearly Hunt in '76.

So obviously true, Our Niki missed a race or two entirely because he was melting in a burn ward, and came back heroically to finish a race while he was still melting shortly after. Their James was so busy breeding birds (budgies) and breeding birds (women) that even with these massive setbacks to his opponent he still only took the championship by 1 point. Our Niki MWDC '76 for the Scud.

But using wicka logic, where HAM lost early in the year by not driving better in his incredible recovery drives from the back of the field (sometimes literally) deep into the points , how does Niki "Crispy Batter bit from the side of the fryer" Lauda catch a break for literally parking his perfectly functional car on the championship deciding race? All he had to do is score 2 points and he'd have won. That's a clear MWDC disqualification. He didn't merely "not drive better", he stopped driving completely!

Yes, but:
1976 was right around when Bernie bought the TV rights to F1, and the Suzuka race direction was influenced to run it before a certain time in the day because it needed to be broadcast at a certain time for good ratings, despite the track conditions being suicidal. Therefore Niki by unilaterally withdrawing from the race was the first and only driver ever to defy the murderous tyranny of Tzar Ecclestone, at some considerable cost to himself. This makes Niki MWDC for all years 1976-2016 inclusive.
