Can Bernie fucking die already? I was 18 when the guy looked like he had one foot in a grave, I'm almost 40 and he's still ruining this sport. Fuck it.
It looks like the higher body or so-called "F1 Commission" wants to make the sport become more unwatchable than NASCAR and kill it off with the Year of Mercedes. The timed elimination is so counterproductive, no point in having super short qualifying sessions. What a fucking joke.
Make actual legit changes or RIOT!!
I totally disagree, but even if it was the best coverage in history, they're still going to kill the sport dead in the UK.
You probably mean Q1 and Q2, and I agree. But Q3 definitely needs to be in the old format.
It doesn't, it's probably just Bernie reasserting his position after the GPDA letter.

The only real advantage is getting drivers out early, which could easily be fixed by making the session shorter.
Don't the non-cable channels usually rebroadcast the races here? Not sure how it works over there, but here it's on the big main networks FOX and ABC respectively.
Well the Sky deal is just very short term thinking. The people in charge getting as much money as they can now, then when the sport starts truly dying they'll be jumping off with the ton of money they've pocketed.
It is supposed to put more pressure on drivers and teams and penalize faults so the grid is less predictable on Sunday.
And it kind of succeeded in that aspect, actually, which is why I don't hate the idea of keeping it around for Q1 and Q2 along with a traditional Q3.
It makes me wonder, is there anything he can't do that would cause him to be ousted from running F1? I mean, it's like he's coated in teflon. He can seemingly do whatever he wants to, regardless of any other opinions, and yet remains in charge.
I suppose in the end, he's making people lots of money but damned if it isn't depressing as hell.

They should compensate them by holding an additional autograph session in the time quali was supposed to take place.
I among many would have gladly paid the BBC to continue the coverage, sadly that was never an option. Its nothing to do with being FTA, its to do with Sky being money grabbing cunts and Lazenby being a potato.
There will be so much salt, they could have a race on a snowy race track.

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
Honda are also having problems in Moto GP, so the culture can't be very upbeat.

I hope the drivers refuse to go out. Even if just one frontrunning team boycotts, the message will be sent. Quit destroying the sport, obnoxious old man.
-Let Michelin/Bridgestone back into the sport to compete with Pirelli.
-Let them manufacture super durable, super fast tyres that return the series to its "short sprint" DNA of the 90s.
