Any Formula 1 fans

WOW! I've been away too long.

This is the first time I've seen this thread. Thanks bcannon.

I have been following F-1 since Damon Hill was still spitting up on his dad's overalls.
I have been reading through all of the posts to get a feel for the vibe over here.

I think that the best way I would sum up todays race is ORANGE!

I could smell the smoke flares coming out of the TV speakers
(or maybe it was the lingering nitro exhaust fumes on my shirt from IRP today.)

What a treat it has been to have a triple-header after the break!

Lets go Monza!

Crazy to think Max can wrap this up in Singapore or Japan.

Monza F1 practice just started on ESPNU.

Sounds like a few teams will be taking penalties here as well. Carlos, Checo, a few others?

Much needed upgrades for a few. Hope they payoff for Checo, not so much for the whiners..

1hr til lights out on Espn2. Should be a good race.

Went to watch Singapore p3 and qualifying and was a no go. It looks like Disney is holding ESPN hostage, among other channels.. They want another $19.95 a month for me to get ESPN back..damn money hungry chomo promoting ****s, my hate just multiplied ×100 for them.

Looks like I'm going with the $4.99 on the F1 app so I can finish watching the season.

Did anyone experience the same with their ESPN this morning?

I don't know about P3, but I watched qualifying on ESPN this morning.

My son is actually at the race track for all three days. He is under strict orders to take lots of pictures. Ahhh to be young and travel the world!

I saw where Dish was having a dispute?

I don't know any ESPN service that is $20 a month. I have the plus and it was like $80 a year?

I did some research when I got back home and it is Dish that's having the issues. I'm not sure what service it is but I called Dish, our provider, and that's what they quoted to get my ESPN channels back. I'm thinking of going back to Direct but until then I went with the F1 app TV package. Only a couple more months in the season so I'll deal with it for now.

Some of the F1 teams are starting to sound like Democrats going after Donald Trump. They just can’t get over Red Bull winning last year and being so dominant this year. The talks of cheating and over spending is really starting to make me want to just give up on my beloved F1. The Hamilton fans and Mercedes are the worst! They define the whole season by one race! If Max hadn’t been put out of the race at Silverstone and the other race by Mercedes he would have won the championship well before Abu Daubi. I guess maybe I’m just getting too old and just want to watch good racing and not all the BS and political posturing. Hopefully it’s a good race tomorrow but I’m sure the Safety Car will be out again as history has shown in Singapore.

What a Race!!!

 

[bcannon]

Definitely one of the best this year!!!

I hope they don’t penalize Perez, he drove an amazing race. Max did well even though he could of easily taken himself out being overly aggressive at times. Loved listening to Hamilton whine the whole race.

Hope they don't penalize him either, he drove his best race of the year. Surprised Max did as well as he did, not sure this was his race to win the championship.
I laughed hard listening to Louey bitch and moan. He can't face the fact he's not even 2nd best. He finished ahead of his teammate but Russell is a better driver imo.

Re: Hamilton, I think it was Frank Williams that said

'If I need a tenth of a second, I look at the car. If I need a second, I look at the driver'

It really was funny how every team started on the intermediate tires, but only one driver was whining about it.

“I don’t know why you never listen to me”. Whenever he’s not doing well he blames the tyres!
