F1 2020

[DC.]

What a surprise! All Ferrari powered teams are struggling compared to last year. Shows how much of an advantage they got from whatever ‘cheat’ they were using last year.

Racing Point have played a blinder with their car this year. Given that regulations will remain stable next year they are poised for a good 18 months ahead.

Mercedes could be 1 second clear over a longer lap, say the likes of Spa or Silverstone.

Hoping for a Norris podium, unlikely but fingers crossed.

Be interesting to see how much quicker the guys are at the 2nd race at the rounds given the extra practice at them.

Going by the early forecast for next weekend there could be thunderstorms around Spielberg.

Their interpretation of the grey rulebook.

Their interpretation of the grey rulebook.

A few years ago I remember Ross Brawn saying all teams read the rulebook at least twice; first to understand it and secondly how to find a loophole.

They all do it just Ferrari got caught.

Oh, didn't know that. Will hopefully make for an interesting race then!

What deal did you get? I seemed to lose the f1 channel a while back and wouldn’t mind it back

£10 per month with no contract, once season is over I can cancel.

 

[AlpineF30]

I binned Sky Sports F1 and subscribed to F1 TV impressed with it so far. 6.99 a month and can cancel anytime.

Mainly because I don’t have a Sky HD subscription as we only have Sky for the wife to record, watch soaps and that crap so if I got Sky F1 it’d be 20 quid a month if I wanted it in HD.

Only thing its not available in the UK so need to use a VPN.

 

[svensktoppen]

Just use CH4 for the actual races. It's the same race but can be recorded and FF through commercials and all the boring bits. Plus don't have to waste two whole weekend afternoons on it.

Unless you do want to sit through all the post- and pre-race bits, and the viewing angle gimmicks. Fair enough if that's what you want

Aye but then 9 times out of 10 you know who wins. Much rather watch it live

Racing Point might suffer like Brawn did when the car fundamentally is great but, depending on how long the season is, might struggle to keep up in the development race.

 

[DC.]

This is it. But all they have to do is check out what Mercedes have done with this years car and apply it to theirs. It should, in theory, work.

You know who is going to win anyway so no point watching.

I only see these options:

Yeah the subscription level you need is F1 TV Pro I set my VPN to USA and bought the subscription using the app on my iPhone

All commentary is Sky’s so its good then get access to F2 and F3 as well

Below is the F3 quali from yesterday

Give me 2 secs and i’ll upload a video I took of the F1 qualification yesterday

looks like hamilton is getting a 3 place grid penalty

confirmed

 

[pablo]

should be good with max on yellow tyre

 

[pablo]

I bought the NowTV day pass, will look into the F1 TV later

 

[kharma45]

should be good with max on yellow tyre

Yeah I think this could be his race now. Just depends on how he gets off the line. Bottas will have more initial traction but Max is on the inside and will likely try a move into turn one.

Plus the young guys, Norris and Albon, right behind.

 

[kharma45]

Norris usually isn’t too rash with any big dives.
