I pity the people forking over a lot of money for a Sky F1 subscription riddled with ads.

 

[Omiee]

I must have seen this infiniti commercial a 100 times already. I miss the BBC uninterrupted coverage.

 

[Adamm]

Sky really build up martin bundles grid walk each week.
The sad part is that's its probably the highlight of their show.

 

[pants]

At least the FIA no longer make up the rules, when needed, at Ferrari's behest. Those were frustrating times.

In theory the Schumacher era rules where put in place to curb Ferrari romping to the front, in practice, on race weekends what you say was often true.

ITs not just their coverage, its the team they got. BBC just have an amazing team in eddie, dc and jake. Lee is just the icing on the cake.

The sky team is boring as hell.

Pre-coverage is pretty much ads with a grid walk apparently.

Terrible.

 

[AndyD]

Is it not streaming on BBC anywhere?

 

[brotkasten]

I pity the people forking over a lot of money for a Sky F1 subscription riddled with ads.

But it's only riddled with ads during FP1, FP2, FP3 and the pre- and post-race coverage. It's not that bad for the money you pay!

BBC is only covering half of the races this year and this GP isn't one of them.

Then I am doomed to wait until Fox shows it in the US in a few hours.

I thought BBC still streamed it online even when not showing it on TV.

Damn.

It's a free Sky Sports weekend so I think you can create a Sky ID and stream the race on Sky Go for free.

Edit - You're not from the UK then, never mind.

 

[Omiee]

''Almost missed my grid because i did not realize i was so far back''

Lol rosberg.

We should see an interesting race from rosberg and grosjean.

 

[Dilly]

Whatever Grosjean is taking to be so happy all the time, I want some of it.

 

[nny]

Even in the back of the grid Romain can't contain his smile. I like him.

 

[Wes]

Plus it's The Open this weekend so they would've taken viewers away from themselves by choosing this GP.

 

[Adamm]

He's just happy to be alive

 

[Zinga]

Red Bull are the biggest snakes in F1, every time you think they have been caught they slip out of the FIAs hands if this was Mclaren or Ferrari they would have had the book thrown at them.

 

[nny]

He looks like he still can't believe he gets paid to drive an F1 car.

 

[Diablohead]

I won't be paying for sky next year, I've learned from this season and watch bbc footage where ever possible.

Might get the sky online pack so I can stream on my tablet but not the full tv package again.

 

[Omiee]

Who wouldn't in his shoes. Gets to drive for lotus and is having a really good season so far.

You could not seriously think that?

Hamilton sure he has some bad luck with the stewards.

I'm just waiting for the two weird guys who always come in here to tell us how superior the Sky coverage is, compared to the BBC one.

 

[nny]

Martin Brundle's Grass Walk.

 

[Omiee]

LOL what?

There are actual sky fans here?



I dont get it they ruled in favour of red bull but its certainly not the end of it?

hmm


LOOOOOOOOOL Brundle, nico time for a quicky lol.

 

[brotkasten]

FIA man just confirmed that the current ruling is not the end of it. Brundle thinks the FIA doesn't have enough evidence yet.

 

[nny]

What's that singing the anthem?

Well, thanks guys, I'll be back later after it shows to read the dozens of pages of posts. Enjoy the race.

Which is weird since he said im fine with where we are right now. I think they will ban it from Hungary or after the Hungary grand prix.

 

[smiggyRT]

If they rule it illegal at a later date what would happen to their results this race? I imagine they would stand and Red Bull just be forced to change the car for the next race after the ruling.

 

[Milchjon]

I feel the need to apologize for that performance in the name of my countrymen.

Yeah they'll probably just make sure they change it for the future, I would seriously doubt the FIA would do anything more to them.

 

[Omiee]

Yes, FIA wont want to take back the win or podium places. Its bad for the image of the sport in their opinion. It will just be banned for the next race after the ruling.

Nothing will happen to the results.

 

[Mohonky]

As always, Redbull will benefit from an illegal design for a few races playing their 'that's not how we understand the rules' mantra and get away with no retro-active penalties; screwing the rest of the field.

What a fucking joke. They do it constantly because they know they can get the benefit from it for a few races before moving onto the next 'mis-understood' design.

Fuck off.

Thats what F1 has been all about for years. Looking for loopholes in rules and pushing the boundaries of what is legal within the rules.

 

[brotkasten]

It really was terrible, wow. And what's with the suit?

 

[moojito]

Yeah, no free sky f1 from sky go if you don't have a sky package already, it seems. Just tried to sign up.

 

[zomgbbqftw]

Time to give up on F1 I think. Can't stand the way Red Bull always seem to get away with it.

 

[Omiee]

Your new to F1 i reckon? Its not like they are the first team to ever do so.

What is the prediction on pit stops today?

I have a sky ID in the uk but not free for me, only for new registered I guess :/

 

[brotkasten]

When did fins on the sidepods become a thing? I've seen them on McLaren and Red Bull, I think.

 

[Omiee]

7 more minutes.

The design is not illegal. So where is the problem? Maybe you should fuck off.

Hahahahahaha, new to F1!

Pull the other one, time to take off the blue tinted glasses, this is terrible for the sport.

 

[nny]

I find it funny how the drivers have a small map of the circuit inside the car; just in case they get lost. ;P

 

[Dilly]

Hoping for no repeat of Silverstone. Alonso needs this third win for his championship.

 

[Milchjon]

It really was terrible, wow. And what's with the suit?

I have no clue. Apparently he was part of a TV show, but he didn't even win.

Teams having been getting away with stuff for years

 

[Omiee]

I find it weird actually. By the time the race starts some of these drivers would have driven the same lay out for more than 100 laps but they still have it.

weird.

 

[Risk Breaker]

Have to admit, RBR are masters of cheating

Fixed

 

[Omiee]

Fixed

It's not cheating if its within the rules =D

Yep, it's funny 'cause it's weird.
