April 8, 20223 yr it was good while it lasted... ads are the only way someone can pay for it if they get that much for the US rights.

I can't do Buxton and Palmer (think it was Joylon, not sure). Also, what the hell happened to Haas in Melbourne?

I don't have F1TV, but I read somewhere that you can choose the broadcast audio you want to hear, including Sky. I hope that, whatever network ends up showing F1, that they just continue the Sky coverage. I don't like all the presenters, but their overall package is massively superior to anything we've ever had here in the US.

I like everyone involved in the Sky and F1 production except Karun’s distracting accent. If you follow the F1 tech talks segments, Sam Collins is really good.

If you follow the F1 tech talks segments, Sam Collins is really good. I like Palmer well enough. Like Ant, DiResta, Nico, Brundle, etc, he gives good info we might not otherwise know about what the drivers are doing. But just being a former driver doesn't do much for me when it comes to trackside commentators. Remember, Karun & Johnny Herbert are former drivers as well, and those idiots say as much stupid shit as Crofty does. Damon does too, lately. Karun's accent doesn't bother me, but his stupidity & longwindedness does. Edited April 9, 20223 yr by wood
April 9, 20223 yr Here's a helmet cam shot that shows how much Ferrari is still porpoising. It's actually pretty incredible that they've been on RB's pace so far this season when they porpoise this much and RB doesn't seem to at all. Carlos had a lot of porposiing at Jeddah too. Saw that while watching practice today. They are porpoising like crazy.
April 9, 20223 yr Yeah, I like the Croft/Brundle pairing. I started to watch the Saudi race on F1 TV and noped out immediately. I can't do Buxton and Palmer (think it was Joylon, not sure). Also, what the hell happened to Haas in Melbourne?Click on the International button on F1 TV and you can listen to Crofty and Brundle.
April 9, 20223 yr neither of those guys should be in F1. "ricardo goes to 8th and pushes hamilton into 10th" ham was already 10th, crofty.
April 9, 20223 yr Just watching Qualifying now. Getting ready for Q2. Daddy Stroll can’t be happy with his son. Expensive hobby

April 9, 20223 yr I haven't been able to watch until now (work + life + March Madness) but man, these cars look weird with all of the new structural changes. The little "wrist splint" looking doodads on the interior of the front wheels, the wheels themselves, etc., gives me "dive planes on a Civic" vibes, though of course I realize that there's a world of difference in the overall effectiveness and purpose-built design specificity between the two. And Lance's dad should be cutting a check to Williams.
April 9, 20223 yr Author Well that’s an interesting one. https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/how-canny-alonsos-drs-campaign-found-alpine-some-speed/9748984/
April 9, 20223 yr Leclerc was right on his theoretical best lap once again. The man is a freaking beast at qualifying.
April 9, 20223 yr Could be some fun early with Sainz and Alonso coming up on the Mercedes cars. The Mercedes cars are both pretty slow in sector 3 so you would think those two could pass them on the front DRS straight pretty easily. But Hamilton and Russell were both so strong in the first sector there might be a chance for some fun fightbacks. Edited April 9, 20223 yr by Huckleberry
April 10, 20223 yr So who is staying up?Not me, I’ll just make sure not to touch my phone til after I watch the race tomorrow morning.
