Good, found her more annoying than most of the family members, etc. that tend to be in the pits during the race.

Good news

Answer to tweets. Yes I've had an offer from BBC and Sky. Yes I'ill be commentating F1 next year.

Awesome news. But does he mean he will be on both? or has had an offer from both & has to now choose which one to accept?

Spoiler

Please be on both!

 

[Psychotext]

They're sharing a commentary team (BBC / Sky).

I hope Coulthard will be doing it with him though. I've really enjoyed their banter.

Yeah, Brundle is great, but he needs to do it with DC.

 

[dubc35]

That is good news! Agreed, DC is also needed.

I didn't that was confirmed, but great news if it was

 

[Psychotext]

Don't take it as gospel, but it's certainly my understanding of the situation.

 

[Ark]

Yeah, Brundle is great, but he needs to do it with DC.

I imagine Brundle is doing everything in his power to get DC to be along side him.

At the same time I doubt DC and EJ come cheap.

 

[Sleeplessnights]

..You can't even begin to compare Senna and Clark. Even if you wanted to, you just simply can't.

I... I'm sorry.

 

[Ark]

At the same time I doubt DC and EJ come cheap.

I wouldn't have imagined DC had much to justify a high cost, besides that, he's got nothing else to do

I... I'm sorry.

They're from completely different era's, there really isn't a way to compare them

Clark was the complete class of his time, and Senna the class of his.

 

[brotkasten]

I wouldn't have imagined DC had much to justify a high cost, besides that, he's got nothing else to do

Nothing else to do? To be a promo driver for Red Bull and Mercedes is an important job! Drive against nerds, show actors how to drive an F1 car. Doesn't get better than this.

 

[Seanspeed]

Hulk and Di Resta combo?? or Hulk replacing Di Resta coz Di Resta signing with Ferrari??

Di Resta still has links with Mercedes and virtually none with Ferrari that I know of.

Not saying its gonna happen, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Di Resta replace Schumacher. If not in 2012, then he probably has a good shot in 2013 if he continues to impress.

Haug wants Schaumacher to drive past 2012 for the team.

 

[Dibbz]

Damn I thought the Indian GP was this weekend for some reason

 

[Omiee]

dc and brundle being the commentators next year as well is amazing news. Iv really enjoyed watching formula 1 on the bbc because of them.

i really hope sky will get brundle grid walk as well.

 

[brotkasten]

Still have a cold and feel like crap, so I finally decided to watch the Canadian race. Yes, the full cut. It was already a good start (okay, a poor one for Webber, but I got used to that).

 

[Omiee]

webber got a bit unlucky with his spin forced by hamilton, but drove a pretty nice race to be honest


any big changes to the abu dhani track?

 

[Dead Man]

Just a reminder that Speed is covering the V8 Supercar race this weekend on the Gold Coast. A street circuit this time, and a punishing one, it should be good racing. Two 300km races, one Saturday and one Sunday, local time.

Glad I could be of help

Haug wants Schaumacher to drive past 2012 for the team.

But not as driver but as a important member of Mercedes GP team, maybe even Brawn second hand

 

[Seanspeed]

Haug wants Schaumacher to drive past 2012 for the team.

Haug aint the boss. And sooner or later, a team of their size and aspirations will want somebody better.

 

[Omiee]

i cant see shumi staying as a driver after 2012, same goes for rubens.

but man i cant wait untill di resta and koba are in a more competitive car.

 

[Seanspeed]

I'm not convinced Kobayashi will turn out all that great once he's up in the spotlight in a big team. Great drivers dont have such mediocre junior CV's. I think he's gonna end up another Sato.

 

[brotkasten]

Thanks again, it's pretty relaxing to watch the race right now.

Also, birds.

Lauda hardly had a CV to speak of apart from some successes in Formula Vee. He turned out just fine. I wouldn't be so quick to right Kobayashi off. I think he'll do well with a more competitive drive. World championship material; maybe not, but someone who can challenge for wins and podiums and become Japan's most celebrated F1 driver... Yes.

My thoughts exactly.

The man has a lot of talent, but I don't think he's quite up there with some of the others.

He definitely has the balls, without being a chaotic driver.

Wait... where are you now, exactly?

 

[dubc35]

If he's mentioning SPEED coverage he's probably in the US. I saw it was on this weekend as well, alas I don't have cable.

I thought he was Australian, hence my question

 

[dubc35]

Crap, maybe the Aussies are invading?!

Actually I guess he could be in Canada too, eh.

What's even more important is the car, let's not kid ourselves. Even a troubled Hamilton can still score wins and arguably deliver the best performance in a race this season (germany).

Oh thank you based god. Truly thank you.

We're getting our Lewis back. HUZZAH!

 

[Dead Man]

Wait... where are you now, exactly?

I'm still in Australia, but USGAF seemed to enjoy Bathurst so I thought I would spread the news. I hold dual citizenship so I feel like telling them about good racing when I can

Joy and DW doing live commentary again?

As far as I know.

 

[Chris R]

I only see a single entry on Speed at 8pm PST tomorrow, nothing else...

Typical Speed, half assing stuff :/

Did enjoy it, most definitely. And yep, same team for SPEED.

Just found out Directv is dropping Speed and other fox channels Nov. 1... Dispute with News Corp over programming prices So no more F1 for me unless shit gets worked out and quick. At least I get to watch India I guess

Damn, that sucks. Fox owns a lot of popular channels don't they?

The fuck? Last year they dropped G4(calm down TechTV defense force ), now theyre dropping Speed too?

Its bullshit considering I pay the same bill every month regardless of whether they remove as many channels as they please.

#1 in customer satisfaction my ass

I finally got used to the commentators on Speed (I was watching BBC feeds before). Looks like im back to BBC/Sky now :/

 

[navanman]

2nd US F1 grand prix to take place in New York in 2013?
Looks likely based on reports this morning.

Of course this could all be a backup for the original gp in texas incase it doesn't get finished.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

If it's not around Times Square like in PGR then I don't want it!

Also, glad to hear Brundle will be on BBC and Sky next year.

Formula One Is Coming to New Jersey in 2013

Formula One, the richest and most popular form of international motorsport, is coming to Greater New York in 2013.

According to two people familiar with the matter, the London-based racing circuit will announce next week that the Formula One Grand Prix of America will take place in June 2013 on a road course mapped out in Weehawken and West New York along the Hudson River—against the backdrop of the Manhattan skyline.

Formula One has scheduled a press conference at Port Imperial in Weehawken Tuesday, where the announcement is expected to be made. The proposed race was first reported in August. The mayors of Weehawken and West New York issued a joint statement that they were in talks with a group of investors led by Leo Hindery, Jr., a former chief executive of the YES Network, to bring a race to New Jersey.

Formula One currently has a 19-event calendar with events in Monte Carlo, Shanghai and Sao Paulo, among others, on twisty circuits in the world's most advanced open-wheel cars. The last U.S. race took place at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2007.

In May 2010, F1 announced a plan to return to the U.S. The Formula One Grand Prix of America will be held in November 2012 at a $250 million purpose-built racetrack in Austin, Texas. The Grand Prix in New Jersey will mark a second U.S. race on the 2013 calendar, these people said.

Wall Street Journal

Port Imperial:

I can see them building a nice track around that brand new Ferry Terminal:

Google | Bing

The rocks on the Jersey side can either be used as a wapp to keep the noise away from Jersey... or they could be put to really good use with an uphill - and downhill - section.

 

[Xun]

I'm intrigued I must say.

But I highly doubt it'll change the amount of interest there.

 

[Omiee]

if that is true than i will be visiting 3 grand prix's in 2013.

monaco like usual, britisch and new york.

got to say, f1 is going to more and more amazing places.

india, monaco, abu dhabi, singapore. All great tracks and places
