Bit of chat if you can stomach Sky Sports dolly bird Natalie Pinkham. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9eZbiuqCE4 McLaren and Honda's contract is to 2024. I feel like that is a worthy addition to the "this is a thing that actually happened" thread. We got any guesses on how long until Hack Clown backs out of the Honda deal and goes begging to Mercedes?

poty posted:It's not that bad for now but just wait until Lewis dares to beat Germany's Seb Vettel and the hateposting will sink the thread to a discourse level that makes Rivals.com look like a Virginia Woolf novel We've done it to death that the general dislike for Hamilton has nothing to do with the fact that he is a good F1 driver, it is all to do with the fact that he is the Keeping Up With The Kardashians of F1. I'm a Brit and if he had a loving personality transplant I'd probably like him. At least Vettel has a sense of humour and has entertaining meltdowns. Hamilton just becomes an insufferable, churlish little shitweed.

Right, resubbed to Sky Sports. It pains me to pay these jerk offs £33 a month but gently caress watching non-live races on Channel 4 like a poor. Can't wait to see what dogshit races from last year they're replaying non-stop until Friday. Their wonderful new trailer for Melbourne is that F1 is "no longer a one horse race." Kind makes me angry and happy at the same time; happy that there will be some proper racing at the sharp end and angry that I've endured their terrible punditry of pretending there was an actual competition for the WCC/WDC for the last few years.

learnincurve posted:If you sub to nowTV instead then you can switch it off during the breaks and only pay £20 in those months with only two races. Yeah that's what I do, but it still sucks to be paying for all of Sky Sports channels when I only ever really watch SSF1. My other sporting interests (basically Snooker) are served well by Eurosport which I got a year's subscription for in January for basically gently caress all. £20 for the year I think it worked out as.

learnincurve posted:That reminds me of a really old ford transit van I once owned. "If the clanking gets really loud then get ready to open the box under the gear stick and hit things with this hammer until it changes gear" Yeah but an old wanker of a Transit is still fit for purpose. Based on all evidence thus far 3 years of McLaren Honda are still shitboxes from day one. It's a goddamn shame that they haven't been competitive throughout a season since the early 2000s.

wuffles posted:I was watching the KU game last night and they had a Honda commercial come on where at the end of it the doofy spokesman guy is like "...and at Honda we build engines like this" and the camera pans over to an Indy Car that peels off into the sunset. It felt like a massive troll and I hope they buy ad space for it during the F1 broadcasts all season. I could not stop laughing. It'd be interesting to see how their IndyCar V8 'de-tuned to not lunch itself' competes with their V6 'brick in a washing machine.' For all the terrible press they're getting I've loved the Hondas I've owned for their ridiculous against the prevailing wind manufacturing ethos, infuriating as it often is. I even got rid of my absolutely brilliant diesel Honda (their first diesel, one of the finest diesel engines ever mass produced) to switch to a BMW V8 because BMW are the engine savants and I've always held their V12 M12 in the highest regard. It was like going from a happy marriage to an abusive relationship.
