Most defo agree.
Curses have been put on things to stop theft going back to almost the earliest found records of writing. Why stop at books/papers? Add a curse to your car, your bag, your bike, and your dog!

You're making Liz Truss sound too good here, mate.

It has started working again, presumably without input from them. So I can watch again, if I can get past the intermittent BM1301 errors.

Bold of you to call such a person a "creative director."

I'm having the rage. F1TV has decided I'm accessing it from a "restricted geographic region" even though I'm in the UK.

Has F1 made Scotland independent? Is it because I'm using linux? I've emailed them about it so expect to hear back next week that I am indeed too foreign to view their product.

He says this shit for free, why is it news that he does for money as well?

Yea. Their shows are generally run as bad convention panels, but these ones have become very bad.

She's replaced/replacing Laura Winters. I've not seen her before this year.
I don't know if it's her style, but all the f1tv presenters have an inane way of asking questions.

The first race in Saudi almost didn't go ahead due to missile strikes during the weekend. There were comments suggesting they--as in all F1 related people--wouldn't be allowed out of the country if the race didn't go ahead.
I wouldn't be surprised if such things are happening again.

I wrote a 3 part essay last year on Max Verstappen and the massive (over)hype surrounding him. You'd think he was a god or something from how the F1tv folks fawn over him.
I think now that Horner and Marko are gone it will quiet a wee bit (??) but yea...

From what I've read about the Auckland council, not much has occurred to them.

I really dislike it. Why are they just discarding the data? I don't care about neatness, and my can round the numbers in my own damn head.
It looks like dumbing the sport down, which is all kinds of silly.
(I'm a physicist, which may be related to my passion for data.)

'as a real form of transport...'
Fucking hell.

But the bigger gaps mean overtaking is a thing that can happen again!

I noticed this simplification and also thought it was a bag of shite. It's not like there's no space on the broadcast for it.

Fair point.

I like the gift square of "slow zoom in on famous person" 😁

I like how this is sponsored by the letter L.

Aston Martin is also sponsored by Aramco, the Saudi owned oil co. So oF cOuRsE tHeY wAnT tO rAce....

Yea, it seems the announcers and journos just really can't be bothered to say "Sainz" right. It's super easy to say, and, you know, shows a basic level of respect.

F1 is shocked and appalled that you would think their blatant manipulation of rules, races, results, and in many cases just basic observational facts could in any way be described as a "soap opera." This is high drama --uh, I mean, pure sport!

Well, Adelaide saw F1 off by almost killing Mika Häkkinen...

You're suggesting that's the *only* reason the US is/will yet again get away with being the global playground bully?

I heard that RB (maybe just Oliver Mintslaff) hadn't realised how disliked Horner was until he was booed at the F1-75 launch, so more than just on track performance. I'm continually disappointed at how vapid and fawning F1 media is.

Perhaps it's for the best if you don't watch any more...

"All 20 F1 drivers..."

So who's not making it?
Is this how they're telling us there's no room for Cadillac?

I love this clip so much..

Kind of wild to suggest they're "preparing" kids for future by literally excluding them from society.
Thanks for sharing!

I think "Feel the Glory" is a missed opportunity by F1 marketing.

You're right. It's a really complex sport/entertainment complex but you wouldn't know it from how it's discussed.
