TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted October 17, 2011 Report Posted October 17, 2011 Fucking hell, more of a surprise that it was only one driver that got killed. Quote
manc_don Posted October 30, 2011 Author Report Posted October 30, 2011 Nice tribute to both Dan wheldon and simoncelli before the Indian gp. Hopefully the race does them proud, certainly looks like a very fast track. Quote
dave_min Posted October 30, 2011 Report Posted October 30, 2011 Hamilton & Massa in coming together shocker! Been a decent enough race sofar. Quote
manc_don Posted October 30, 2011 Author Report Posted October 30, 2011 it was quite an interesting start to the race and nice to see button still going for vettel, despite the fact he probably won't catch him. I was surprised Hamilton didn't get the penalty though, Massa looked raging as he walked off. Quote
Kowalski Posted October 30, 2011 Report Posted October 30, 2011 Not been enough action IMHO. Doesn't look like Button will catch Vettel but I'm still hoping. Quote
manc_don Posted October 30, 2011 Author Report Posted October 30, 2011 Not been enough action IMHO. Doesn't look like Button will catch Vettel but I'm still hoping. To be fair to mcclaren and button they did cut it down to just over 2 seconds, and put him under pressure, but yes, wasn't realistically going to happen. Quote

manc_don Posted November 13, 2011 Author Report Posted November 13, 2011 Can't believe Vettel managed to pip Hamilton at the death of Q3 yesterday (well I can but still). Hopefully Button will be able to have a good race, just want someone, anyone (but Webber or Alonso) to beat Vettel. The times were promising yesterday, so hopefully it's an indicator that McClarren will be able to compete this weekend. Quote

manc_don Posted November 13, 2011 Author Report Posted November 13, 2011 Vettel effectively oot second corner so your wish came true Well, nearly. I wanted Button to win but it was a decent race. Very well driven by Hamilton and the battle for 3rd between Button/Massa/Webber was quite interesting. Just nice to see some others on the podium for a change! A friend of mine was taken out on a yacht yesterday for the qualification by a product supplier! Was moored right opposite the Yas hotel. Quote

dave_min Posted November 27, 2011 Report Posted November 27, 2011 Pretty boring end to the season there. Not looking forward to SKY coverage next season. Quote

Azteca1903 Posted November 27, 2011 Report Posted November 27, 2011 Brundle joining Sky next season according to Sky Sports News. Quote
Tyrant Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 Holy shit Ronaldo has piled it on. Quote
Kowalski Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 Gutted about Brundle joining Sky, wonder who the Beeb will turn to now. Ben Edwards would be good IMHO. I see Sky are launching a new channel for this: BSkyB is to launch a new sports channel devoted entirely to Formula One motor racing and will use it to drive takeup of high definition television. Sky Sports F1 HD will be the satellite broadcaster's first channel devoted to a single sport. Sky bagged UK TV rights to Formula One for the first time earlier this year in a joint deal with the BBC, which previously had exclusive coverage of the sport. The channel, which will broadcast for all of the nine-month F1 season from next year, will be available to subscribers to Sky Sports 1 and Sky Sports 2, and to non-sports customers who subscribe to its HD services. Sky Sports subscribers without HD will receive a standard definition version. Sky Sports F1 HD will broadcast between March and November and feature live coverage of all practice and qualifying sessions and every race in the calender. Quote
Tyrant Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 first channel devoted to a single sport. Fit's "At The Races" then if not devoted to a single sport? Quote

Kowalski Posted December 13, 2011 Report Posted December 13, 2011 Ben Edwards to commentate for BBC next year: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/96736 He's very good IMHO. Quote
Kowalski Posted April 23, 2012 Report Posted April 23, 2012 Anyone else disappointed with Sky's coverage? They seem to have WAY too many people involved. And David Croft has been quite poor. I'm sticking with the Beeb for all their live races. Quote
tlg1903 Posted April 23, 2012 Report Posted April 23, 2012 Not seen sky coverage yet but I've been impressed with the beebs efforts. Losing brundle does not seem to have hindered them in the slightest. The ex engineer they have in the pit lane is a real find imo Quote

I'm sticking with the Beeb for all their live races. Watched the qualifiers on it, and I was very unimpressed. Too much fluff and don't actually talk about anything. The BBC on the other hand as has been said has been very professional and i've thoroughly enjoyed it. They even made the Bahrain race look good Quote
