    And maybe a small handheld mic for when the Paddy Lowe's of the world just happen by.

    Curious about F1 tech and want it explained by a Brit that sounds smart and injects a bit of humor. Check out https://www.youtube.com/user/chainbearf1

    Video explanations of all things F1 for the layman, fan and expert alike - bringing the science, regulations and technical gubbins of F1 terms to the masses without the jargon and confusion!

    Formula 1 broadcasting has a bit of a... formula to it. Not least, the overly pretentious, ultra-poetic intro video.

    Those in Canada can watch all the F1 races this season on TSN....they say.

    https://www.tsn.ca/formula-one-racing-on-tsn-1.187712

    However, if it is like last year, most of the races will be pre-empted by other "sports" and F1 races will be bumped to TSN4, which requires purchase of additional cable packages. Honestly, I had no idea that poker tournaments at 5:00am outranked F1 races as a sporting event in my area.

    I always record them to the DVR & watch later. Skipping the commercials. This year will be the same.

    I have really enjoyed the UK broadcasts of the races, but now with the US getting the Sky feed we are going to get the UK commentators also.

    F1 TV service should be available this week.
    Sounds good.

    Scratch that, sounds perfect.

    Formula One has pushed back the start of a new television streaming service which it had hoped to launch in Australia this weekend.

    I HATE THE NEW COVERAGE!!!!!!!!!

    Ok i feel a little better........but damn. If they are going to not have the commentators do a commercial break then don't show the F'ing commercials!!!

    How many track issues happened during the breaks and we got no idea what the hell happened.
    Anyone got a source for race torrents/downloads?

    The ESPN broadcast sucked. Pre-race started with just a shot of the track and no audio, then cut to a commercial only to return to the same thing, then switch to some E:20 sports show. What the heck? During the race they cut away to a basketball commercial just as the Haas cars are encountering their problems. I miss the NBC Sports coverage and can’t wait until F1 TV comes on and I can just cut out all the crap.

    This makes me wonder if F1 screwed up the feed to push folks to F1's paid streaming service.

    Not a good race by any means today.

    I'm sure it will get better. At least I hope so. Fingers crossed.
