Formula 1 2016

Almost every interview Buxton does during the race weekend usually ends up on Formula 1's website

About the only reason I like NBC is because of Will Buxton.

ya i love buxton. i like machete too.

i paid for sky tv through one of those sketchy sites (https://www.123uktv.com/) for almost 2 years so i could get sky f1's coverage (only cause NBCSN had too many commercials).

they give you a login for go.sky.com and a shitty vpn (to spoof a UK ip address). i skipped their VPN service cause it was slow and used tunnelbear instead. the cost was about ~25 a month. the service broke twice, but they had it fixed fast with 1 email to support. it did have a decent amount of channels though. i stopped this year cause i found skytv was making me hate f1.

I use NBC Network through someones DirectTV account. I watch it on my ipad. I don't have cable at the moment, so I stream it. Agreed on the commercials about NBC Sports Network, but when they show Free Practice its commercial free. About the only reason I like NBC is because of Will Buxton.

Has anyone found a reliable website that has quality replays of the races that is not bit torrent? We cut the cable and dish cord last month and have no DVR for broadcast stuff....starting to have withdrawl... I'm willing to pay a yearly subscription but the only site someone suggested is a bit sketchy. Wanted to see if any of you sleuths had found anything new.

Thanks!

[pHILSANITY07]

Yes, thank god indeed. There is a rumor of qualifying being replaced by a Saturday race to decide the starting grid.

[momo]

looks like that garbage qualifying format was scrapped. reverting back to previous format. thank god.

[momo]

yea i think vettel could have won yesterday with a good start.

good race either way. looks like haas hit the ground running.

Australia was an ok race, really happy to see Haas up there and glad Alonso was ok cause that was insane! Qualifying SUCKED out loud, and I was happy to hear they were going to revert back but then they screwed up Bahrain with the same shit! Not quite as bad, but still not worth watching.

Bahrain race was good, but I hated to see Vettle's engine let go on the formation lap. Glad to see Ferrari is looking able to challenge Merc but reliability has to be fixed or it's the same ole crap.

[pHILSANITY07]

very good race, especially at the start with Ferrari shooting pass the Mercedes. Glad Alonso was okay after that crash, that was nasty.

Looks like Vestappen and Carlos Sainz, Jr are already having issues with one another.

Well done Haas and Romain Grosjean. Scores point in debut.

[momo]

yup good race. the midfield is very close. also nice to not see cars 1+ lap down. crazy wreck, glad to see no injuries.

[SC457A]

Was a good race, will not say much, so no spoilers

[momo]

Lol new qualifying system shit canned already. Back to normal in Bahrain.

[pHILSANITY07]

So the new qualifying system is a joke. Wasted an hour of sleep for that. Needs to go back to the old format for the next race.

FP3 was fun to watch. With it being the first and only session that was dry it had a lot of laps done by teams.
Grosjean missed much of practice because of a damaged floor caused on pit road. Grosjean was leaving the garage when Manor's Rio Hoyato (or however you spell his last name) went out in a unsafe release. Stupid move by Manor.

[pHILSANITY07]

So Rosberg bit the wall in FP2. That was pretty much the only highlight with both sessions being in wet conditions. If its dry today, then we'll have a good idea of where teams kind of stand.
