Clarkson/May/Hammond is pretty bad without the constraints imposed by the BBC, but hey I'm still watching. I stopped watching Top Gear after the first two with Chris Evans though.

Idk if they're still doing it but the thing where they kill every celebrity guest is insanely unfunny and got old the very first time they did it.

It was Ok. It's probably just a dig at the BBC not allowing them to have a celebrity chat segment. I liked the one where they had to squeegee the blood off the windows.

So did Alonso just blow everyone away during the test as predicted and now everyone involved in IndyCar is have an existential crisis of their mediocrity?

Yes he joined the illustrious group of racers such as Milka Duno, Dr. Jack Miller, and Hiro Matsushita, who had also easily completed their rookie orientation programs. Truly blown away.

Hey fellow Brits, is Now TV reliable for the Sky F1 channel? I gave up paying monthly for Sky as it's a bit poo poo. I can get a day pass to the Sky sports channels as far as I know. I have a decent ISP so I don't tend to have any bandwidth issues. I only really want it for F1.

Not a brit but I've used Now TV before for F1 and it worked pretty much flawlessly.

I really like the race recaps being available on youtube, especially since I havent' been able to watch any full races this year. Only problem is there's still a lot of lacking context. WTF happened with Waffles and Spring Brain? It looked like he just attacked Massa to avenge his earlier incident pushing Nando off track?


Basically he didn't think Massa could catch him that fast on the straights (lol Honda), so he never thought to check whether Massa was alongside him.
