Some interesting bits from Sean Bratches (Liberty Media guy)
- Starting next season they want to rely more on second screen
- They're thinking about a splitting statistics into some free and paid stuff
- Paid stuff could include Tyre temperature, telemetry data and ERS charging status
- Talks about this paid stuff for around 10 a month
- Historic races digitally available for streaming(!!!)
- Wants to improve social media use
- Looking into streaming live races (Needs to be expensive so it doesn't destroy TV contracts though)
Full interview here (In German)

Give us the option to choose our commentary source and some extra shows then I'm in!
"Think you're better than anyone?" From the person going around trying to find who to blame for the likely loss of the series, while he chose to skip 2 races.
edit: Formula E results
oh crap hadn't watched the race yet, thought he had retired he was DQ'ed for the car being underweight, I guess that segment was before the weigh in.
I guess it's gonna be like NBA/NFL where they charge you 200-250 per season
Oh god, that was Maldonado level of bad there.
Not much happened during the whole race now near the end everything kicks off.
Edit: Latifi fails at Nato avoidance, scrapes his front wing end plate off.
Anyone expecting this was just being dumb. Contracts dont dissolve into thin air.
Great win by Panasonic in that Formula 2 race. He should have some fun testing the Sauber next week.
Great driving by Rowland too to steal 2nd at the end. Some pointers on how you may overtake here with better tyre management for the F1 guys too.

I wonder what kind of special package Ferrari will bring to Monza now that they're actually in a position to challenge again.
If anyone but Kimi was to be confirmed for 2018 we'd probably be hearing the rumors already.
It's funny how the summer break will probably be spent by Mercedes trying to fix their lower speed track performance and Ferrari trying to fix their higher speed track performance (though this is more urgent).
It's going to be either Kimi or Leclerc and the latter would be a surprise.
They're probably going with kimi for another year and see what happens next year with Max and Seb contracts

Now that was just stupid.
Yeah no. They're not putting a rookie into the main team after seeing how less experienced drivers generally seem to struggle with these current beasts. They've got Sauber and kind of Haas to test their young drivers.
Kimi is old and busted but what are the alternatives?
Those Ferrari midfield hopefuls kind of fizzled out:
- Perez probably woke up to a horse head in his bed after defecting to McLaren and not listening to his team's demands in Canada probably was a red flag for the red horse
- Grosjean failed to impress even after recovering from his Crashjean phase
The kind of drivers that would be a younger upgrade to Kimi are locked into Red Bull contracts or happy at Mercedes.
Plus Vettel always says how happy he is with Kimi. So I'd be really surprised if he doesn't stay on for 2018.
But next year's silly season is gonna be a riot, holy shit.
I can see Kimi staying for one more year
but for 2019 season, it will be a total and utter madness on driver's market

Yep, this will be the case. But I still think that Mercedes are in better position, but so many factors could be decisive - from FIA directives, component failures to weather

If you can't wait for F1 2017 you can tide yourself over with:
until it inevitably gets taken down by the FIA.

Perez seems the most obvious shout, assuming they want someone experienced alongside Stroll. Could see Mercedes maybe wanting to promote Wehlein, as well.
I mean for all his incessant fucking moaning about his brakes, Grosjean has done very well in the Haas and also did well alongside Raikkonen when they were together at Lotus. He would make a solid #2 driver. Plus it was an open secret that he went to Haas so that he would have an "in" at Ferrari.
Why would Perez even remotely consider this? That makes no sense.
I wasn't really thinking from Perez's perspective, more I'm not sure who else there is for Williams to poach (Sainz and Hulkenberg are currently contracted).
It would be a sideways move, but he's had fights with Ocon recently.
I do hope they remembered to put it all back correctly.
Guess whos ready for the summer break
Please tell me that's the pit lane. I want it to be the pit lane.
Yeah they just showed it. Its on the start of the pitlane. Below the podium
That is priceless. That said, with this engine, he may get off early today.

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
And I'm ok with that, honestly. How often do you get that much access to an active driver over a race weekend?
Yeah I wasn't complaining. They're clearly jazzed by the novelty of it.

That's a shit name for a band, though.
Yeah, that is pretty much the case with this track.

I expect Daniil Kvyat to be the crazy.
Be more specific. Will he hit Sainz or a Red Bull?
My money's on Sainz.
