Yeah I'm surprised it's still around, they wanted to be all 'social media' and cool and I get that, but this was one thing that really doesn't make any sense.

Welcome to 2017, when the official F1 youtube channel posts race highlights

Not only race highlights, but highlights of all sessions, driver responses after the race and a compilation of the best radio messages during the race. So far, Liberty Media has been mostly great. It will be interesting to see how much a subscription is going to be, if they can get it off the ground.
While not Liberty's creation, I've really enjoyed all the Grill the Grid stuff - even though the title of that segment has nothing to do with its quiz nature

Is there talk that they're investigating a subscription model? It's such a thorny area for Liberty given that TV rights are their lifeblood.
Personally I would love to see it happen, because in Australia it's AUD$44 per month for a streaming subscription to F1 off the local rights holder, and I can't see an official F1 stream costing that much (famous last words).
TBH the YouTube coverage this season has started to pull me back in, after having lost interest when we lost full free to air coverage in this country.
I would give my left leg for an official streaming solution. But yes I'm pretty sure any one of the various international TV deals would prevent it though.

That was not a good weekend at all for Hamilton / Merc. This should have been a good track for them, instead they lucked out with Vettel having to start last and Raikkonen not at all. Even Ricciardo having to fend off Vettel probably helped Hamilton stay in second.
Not looking good at all for the next few races. They must surely be concerned after this weekend.

I think it's good he's getting another chance. Sometimes someone just has to find a niche they're good at.
You mean a less competitive field

When will Kimi get a good weekend..
I'm so tired..

They pivoted to this so quickly, there must have been a team within F1 begging to be able to do youtube coverage for years.
Bwoah... when you're Kimi Raikkonen every weekend is a "good weekend" no mater the race result

Is there any possibility that Vettel's and Kimi's car were swapped by Ferrari overnight, just replacing the name and driver number on the chassis? Or am I a loony?
Considering the stringent parts identification the FIA runs on everything, that's about as realistic as Palmer becoming F1 champion

Sounds like Honda will bring Spec 4.0 to Suzuka or Austin with one supply only being made available for the rest of the season, no chance of Vandoorne beating Alonso in his debut season now, this new spec is supposedly Illien influenced with a 40bhp increase over the current 3.7
Red Bull to visit Honda's factory this week

By co-incidence I was in Amsterdam this weekend and was actually woken up this morning (heavy night) by people cheering. At the time I sort of though (jokingly) that it was probably Verstappen winning the race or something...

Apparently, IndyCar drivers Conor Daly and Alexander Rossi are one of the teams competing in season 30 of The Amazing Race. They were spotted at the start of filming in New York City today.
Why wouldn't they give it to the better driver?

Perez looks totally wasted from that virus. Saturday during the interview you could see the serum drip patch on his left arm.

Stroll was simply not paying attention when he went to get more tire pickup. Thankfully, he's much more aware in race situations now.

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
Thanks for proving me incorrect, I guess....16 hours after this was posted and we all already agreed.

Gasly 2018 wdc!
I really do hope Honda are great next year for maximum lols and that Redbull will have to run them eventually.
NextEV renamed to NIO.
Luca Filippi joins as a driver next to Oliver Turvey.
Lots of new names driving in the F-E test at Valencia today; not all of them confirmed to drive during the season as several teams are trying out different drivers. I think Frijns is doing Indycar?
Renault e.Dams - Prost, Buemi
Techeetah - Vergne, LOTTERER
Venturi - MORTARA, ROSSITER
DS Virgin - Bird, Lynn
Panasonic Jaguar - Piquet Jr, Evans
Dragon - JANI, D'Ambrosio
Andretti - SIMS, Da Costa
Audi Abt - Abt, Di Grassi
NIO - Turvey, FILIPPI
Mahindra - Rosenqvist, Heidfeld
Edit: Somehow I had completely forgotten that Andre Lotterer actually drove F1. Albeit for just 1 lap at Spa 2014 for Caterham.

Probably the most interesting thing from the Formula E pre-season test so far is that Jaguar has been consistently up near the top of the timing sheets.
Other than that it's pretty much been the teams you would expect from last year. Techeetah has had a slow start, but that makes sense since they, as a customer team, have had zero test days.

Poor F-E commentators if that colors remain 
Looks like pressure is taking it's toll on Ferrari personnel

Hahaha now you have to tell me what you were thinking.
Something more akin to roast, and I swear there used to be a segment where drivers said their (obviously sanitized) thoughts about other drivers... is my memory fucked?
Lmao

Why is Buemi acting like he's never driven there before?

WTF? That reminds me of all those silly chicanes they added after Senna's death. I think they literally just added two tire walls in the middle of a straight in Spain.
The fuck is that, haha.
FE is such a joke
