I think they did make up their own story a bit, but to see all that footage was well worth it.

People if you have watched the theatrical version then you haven't watched it yet.

Ugh, wtf. Mansell is a nice guy, but dull as ditchwater.
Mansell, christ on a bike!
That must mean Brundle is staying on the BBC.
Kubica officially announced this morning that he will miss the start of the 2012 season. He sounds hopeful of a full recovery.

No, it says Brundle and Croft commentating. I don't know what a pundit is... maybe like Jordan is at the mo?
Mansell is the Jake Humphrey replacement then. He is the lead pundit on BBC.
It'll be sad to see the dream team broken up next year.

That's terrible. Who the hell thought he'd make a good job of that?
Jake isnt a pundit he is the presenter. The Pundits are Eddie Jordan & David Coulthard.
Im assuming Sky will have a main presenter with Nigel Mansell & some one else along side
Bonus question is up on F1 Race Manager for this week's Brazilian Grand-Prix :
slightly tricky but after some data mining I believe the correct answer is :
slightly tricky but after some data mining I believe the correct answer is :
4th option : Prost (6 wins), McLaren (11 wins), Senna (6 poles), MSC (5 fastest)
Woo thats what I picked!
I knew prost & McLaren had the most wins but the most poles and fastest laps were a guess 
I don't think they really made him out to be a "villain" just a very competitive rival who knew how to play the politics game better and pushed Senna to be his best. And even if the film did vilify him on the track, it gave it all back at the end, showing Prost being one of the pallbearers at Senna's funeral, and now being on the board of the charity setup in Senna's name.
Weather
Looks like we're in for a good weekend.
Hopefully it doesn't rain too hard. I don't want them sitting on the grid for hour.
Another hour or 2 of Brundle and Coulthard bird watching would be great.I wouldn't mind if that happens! It builds the excitement
Sky would be a mistake.
ha! I still need to go back and watch the Canada black flag session. I FF'd through it when I initially watched the race.
Happy early Thanksgiving US F1-gaf! It's also one of those years every so often that my birthday falls on Thanksgiving!

Hmm... the McLarens are ridiculously good in the wet. This weekend could be a whitewash.
Indeed.
Jenson Button's classic Grand Prix
The classic grand prix stuff that the BBC has done this year has been really, really awesome stuff.
Also, the 2011 Monaco GP intro is up again too.

so my dad who is in Brazil for a business trip messages me to say he's in a steakhouse in São Paulo, and Vettel and Schumacher are having dinner there right now
So I sent him a message back if Webber/Rosberg are there as well but he replies they're not although I doubt he'd recognize them. Then he messages they just brought in a big cake and were singing happy birthday for one of them.
so I check wikipedia ofcourse, seems today is Ross Brawn's birthday? hehe pretty cool ... and Norbert Haug's birthday is tomorrow

That's awesome.
Raaawr @ reflection
Jake Humphrey's Twitter page. So I assume this means that Jake will remain as the BBC presenter and with any luck either DC, EJ, or both alongside him again.
And above all, this is encouraging news that the BBC hopefully isn't going to just drop their F1 coverage to the lowest possible budget they can allow.

It is the mail, so take it with a pinch of salt, but its quite good news if true;

Excited? stfu!
There's nothing that can make up for losing half the races. I see the BBC have stumped up the millions for the rights to broadcast the shitty World Athletics Championship, plus millions more on extending the Six Nations Rugby broadcast rights.

3 days of pure F1 sounds awesome, but £10 a month isn't cheap =/

Aye. If they threw in the support races as well, I'd be all over that like shingles.

Would be a pretty shrewd move by Sky, if true. On the face of it, £10 a month is still quite a price for a channel that may only broadcast, on average, 6 days a month (and probably not even 24 hours a day), but if you can dip in and out month by month, it would be an appealing prospect.
But having said that, I'd fully expect Sky to force customers into, at the very least, multi-month contracts for it, and that you'd only get part of Sky's F1 coverage (multiple feeds etc.) for that price (I don't even think it's technically possible over freeview anyway).
It could also be a good form of 'gateway drug' to give the masses a chance to experience Sky's F1 coverage for a 'cheap' price, and then yank it in a year or two, hoping that more people will be willing to sign up for the full Sky package.

lol,
Sky users will probably have two options; the full package with Sky Sports and the £10 pm option.

Daily Mail speculation said:
It's implied that it might be. Whether any of the above is accurate though is another matter.
Like I suggested above though, it might be wise to make their F1 coverage available to as many people as possible for at least their first year to give people a taste of what they would be missing, and then retract it.

Hmm... may very well consider that. Not that I want to give those cunts any cash but it's one of the few things my mother still enjoys in her old age.

They have done the Free Weekend pass before on freeview, they'll probably toss one of the non BBC live races on Sky 3 next year.
It'll be available at no extra cost if you currently subscribe to the Sky Sports package.
Sky offering the full season free of that subscription fee isn't happening.
Looks like COTA (company behind Austin GP) are willing to pay the sanctioning fee to the FIA but instead of signing the contract they agreed earlier they have re-written it on more favourable terms and sent it back to Bernie to approve.
She's dead baby, you can't play hardball with Bernie and money.

Are you ever happy/positive/not remotely trollish about anything? Ever?
Why would it be any different from this year's coverage? SPEED with live coverage of most races, Tape Delayed on Fox for 3 or 4 races in the summer (after Fox loses NASCAR).
