Title: F1 2016
Post by: baldgye on Thu, 17 December 2015, 11:53:14

The season looks to be off to a bad start, before it's even started... BBC to give up broadcasting rights of F1 to ITV (https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/3x7wm9/bbc_to_pull_out_of_f1_coverage_itv_to_pick_up/)

Well at least it means Sky won't get exclusive rights...

:'(

I wonder who they will get to host it. Hopefully DC and Eddie move over to them.

Sky maintains there exclusive rights to the whole Championship, all it means is that ITV will host the few live races the BBC used to host, which means you'll get to enjoy races with advert breaks...

Still the best races IMO ;) Ad breaks I don't mind too much, it's how I remember watching them when I was younger anyway. And so long as they don't put adverts after like, three laps when overtakes are still happening, I will be alright. Just so long as there aren't some ****ing random people dragged up from the depths of the world of 90s motor racing...

I mean, time will tell.. personally I like to watch a lot of the pre-season testing and all that ****... I think if I didn't have sky I would switch to being a WEC fan as you can get access to the whole season for like £20

Is there not a pass you can buy from F1 itself?

Nevermind, it will just be ****ed like NFL Gamepass is thanks to Sky.

Yeah there is a pass, it's called a full Sky package with the Sky Sports add-on and will cost you like £35 a month (or something i don't even know) lmao

So apparently the coverage is going to be picked up by Channel 4 and not ITV

10 Races
no ad-breaks
good news!

Post by: baldgye on Thu, 14 January 2016, 03:05:40

PLEASE LET THIS BE TRUE (http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/35299887), also this could be quite cool, DC & Webber (https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/40s4tz/rumour_webber_and_wolf_to_join_dc_at_c4/) for channel 4's coverage...

...and why maybe Ferrari's 2016 (http://www.grandprixtimes.com/news/display/11065) title fight might not be a realistic goal...

Title: Re: F1 2016

That's be a unique twist if Pastor loses his spot. Also just saw the 10 races, 21 highlights with no ads **** yeah

If you want to watch the Sky coverage live without having to pay a fortune then here's an alternative (https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/3js62h/access_to_rhennostream_sky_sports_f1_hd_720p_50fps/).

I watched the race on mute at work, but holy **** it was good.

Alonso's crash was brutal, but I hope the race directors don't take any action. Seems like Alonso just mis-judged when Gutierrez was going to brake, and he hadn't finished his overtaking manoeuvre in time.

Verstappen's battle with Sainz was good without having to listen to his whining on the radio, it's definitely entertaining to watch the race, I just hope Torro Rosso don't change the way the two of them race each other. I think Sainz thinks it's quite funny how much Max got pissed off :))

Lewis' start was really dreadful, I'm sure there's an explanation for it, but his tacticians really nailed it.
