Gaz 300 Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 So lets start of with the news that the BBC will not be showing any races! But channel 4 will be showing 10 live races. http://www.msn.com/en-gb/sport/formula1/f1-to-move-to-channel-4-after-bbc-ends-its-contract-early/ar-BBnMbuK?li=AA9SkIr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchgold92 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Must get back into it in 2016. Hopefully Sky F1 stays as a standard channel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wonder why I'm paying for a tv licence as there's nowt on the bbc now! :thumbdown: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robsz32 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 This season is looking to be a very exciting one. After seeing the results of the winter tests, looks like the gap has been closed or shortened between Mercedes and Ferrari.:thumbup: I am very eager to see how much Honda improved from last season.

coopd Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 1 thing to say about the new format.... Its awful! I really don't get the point of this 90 sec countdown. Does anyone else agree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz 300 Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 Hamilton takes pole :clap: But dont like the new Qualifying set up :thumbdown: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coopd Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Hamilton takes pole :clap: But dont like the new Qualifying set up :thumbdown: Ah, forgot about this thread! Just set up another one. I hate this qualifying format too Gary, its pointless. There were over 4 mins left of the last session when it was decided! Glad Ferrari are looking strong though:) Also, good coverage from C4... Not overly keen on Steve Jones as a presenter though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not overly keen on Steve Jones as a presenter though Bernie Ecclestone has just tweeted he does not like the new set up so expect a change for the next race lol. Steve Jones I dont like either :( Glad to see Mad Max doing well it should be a great race tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve burns Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I agree it's tosh stop insulting tosh,tosh is so much better How can Quali 3 finish with 3.5 minutes left of the 15 If they do not do something about it they will have hardly anyone paying to watch qualifying IMO they should make all of the last 10 left in qualifying have to run at least 3 timed laps and then take the average of those times then at least the punters would get value for money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coopd Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Not a bad idea that... Quite like the average thing. It could help stop the same person being on pole every race because they only need to make a mistake on one of those laps to potentially loose pole;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coopd Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Not happy about this.... It will definitely not help the sport http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-35889736 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't subscribe to Sky, 3 reasons, I don't watch enough TV to warrant getting 'extra', Sky Sports is mostly just football anyway (which is about as exciting to me as a thumb-in-the-eye) and I won't subscribe to ANYTHINING related to Rupert Murdock. It was bad enough when it went over to commercial channels after BBC's budget cuts meant no more F1, but MORE ****ing football, but now to Sky - sad days. :( Edited March 25, 2016 by Funkysi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't have sky and won't be getting it. I hardly watch tv myself, tbh, F1 is about the only thing I actually go out of my way to watch. Very sad that such a prestigious sport is going in that direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkysi Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I'm sure Rupert lined Bernie's pockets handsomely. Bernie can go forth and multiply - I can't wait until he retires, he's an awful ambassador for the sport. I hope they get someone like Jackie Stewart or Nigel Mansell to replace him.

coopd Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I reckon Jackie Stewart would be good actually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
