Formula One

I definitely miss the Hobbs and Matchett. They were funny and provided relevant technical comments. The new coverage on ESPN so far is ok but, to me, lacking. Certainly Liberty appears to be ok with US TV coverage to be on ESPN’s secondary channels and not willing to invest in better presenters like Hobbs and Matchett - just my opinion. Likely a financial decision to leverage Sky’s coverage.
 
Except for taking a break after Senna was killed in the crash, I've always followed and watched F1.

Don't know if I will continue, due to the - IMO - boring coverage. I want last year's guys back...
 
WOW
Looks like Liberty wants to take F1 down the Indy Car path. So far they have been idiots......
 
So China didn't record....anyone else have this happen?

Also On The Grid only recorded approx 6 minutes

This on DirecTV btw........
 
I have Frontier and it did record. It was a great race. Hope it is replayed today so you can watch it.
 
Now that is how an F1 race is supposed to be run. Talk about comebacks and drama. I have the pre race and races set up separately to record. I also lost part of On the Grid. I changed my settings to allow extra time for both programs. I do like the pre race coverage provided by Sky.

as long as vettel steps on his dick the remainder of the season im a happy camper, even tho he was punted off by Max (keep effin' with the establishment my man!)

Agreed it was a great win for DR and his overtakes at this Chinese GP will be talked about for some time.
 
In regards to Max Verstappen attempted pass on Vettel, I will use the same quote from former MotoGP world champion Casey Stoner that he told Valentino Rossi when they had a similar incident. "Your ambition outweighed your talent"! I give Max credit as there was a gap for a second and he tried to occupy it. F1 needs some other types of passing besides pit stops.

Ricardo (whom I like) would never have been able to do it were it not for the fresh tires just as the safety car came out & the Mercedes & Ferraris were blocked from doing so.

So if you’re not a Vettel fan, who do you follow?

fresh rubber or not, it takes commitment overtaking in a braking zone when the probable outcome is wheel banging with someone going off. DR showed he's got maturity vis-a-vis Max, for instance.

I follow any and all teams/drivers that take wins away from the horsey cars :) I'm not a Fiat fan they've manipulated their way with FIA and every governing body since the '50s and a loss on their books is a win in mind. As for Vettel, DR proved to be the more mentally fit teammate in '14. With identical equipment Ricardo showed Vettel his heels more often than not.
 
best race for me, since a long time.

and concering Verstappen; when i think back of what Vettel did with Webber 2007-2013 and how Schumacher won some titles in his career...

Magnussen in the #20 Haas. Fellow dane and a feisty character by all accounts. ​

While i do like the pairing , i dont miss their continuous meandering and lack of proper race commentary ...

Both Faux 4's are propped up constantly , there are at least 4 guys easily better than those two and BTW , all of Vettels teammates ( going back to his BMW days ) were faster than him , not just DR ...
 
OK I have to say the ESPN coverage is starting to grow on me. It appears that the current guys have better access to the drivers and team personal, especially on the grid walk.....and I don not miss the podium interview. It was stupid.

Shaping up to be a very interesting season.
 
Being the F1 topic, yesterday was 24 years since Ayrton tragically died...for me personally the day when i stopped following F1
