The Halo is significant and I am happy to see the T wing and Shark Fin go away.

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #2251 on:** January 11, 2018, 09:05:52 PM »

Is the halo really going to have a bar right in front of the driver like that?

LatinVenom · « **Reply #2252 on:** January 13, 2018, 12:08:30 AM »

Yes it will, which a few of the drivers and the old commentators made remarks that it would get on the way of the driver.

I am not sure of that area of the F1 Body is wide enough to have adequate strength if they use 2 bars at the outside of the drivers vision similar to where the pillars of a windshield are.

Why no grid guys?
Why no female drivers?

There is a large segment of the available financial population that is being missed by these marketing people. The first sport to figure out how to market to mixed audiences is going to crush it financially.
I’d like to be part of it.

Here is a potential Indycar solution, FWIW: http://www.racer.com/indycar/item/147172-indycar-windscreen-revealed

That make a little more sense. I know F1 evaluated a similar solution and passed on it.

elff · « **Reply #2258 on:** February 20, 2018, 07:16:03 PM »

the 2018 Cars look amazing. I really like the Yellow Jacket Renault, but Haas, Williams and Alfa Romeo are killer as well. I kind of wish Red Bull would stay with the livery on the car right now, but I think it will have more red and yellow
Damn I am excited for the season to start now and they haven't even revealed the MB or Ferrari

March 23-25 Australia Grand Pri. It will be broadcast on ESPN2 and/or ESPNNews Check your local listings. I cannot find a pre or post race, if you do please let me know.

ESPN2 sat 3-24 at 11:55pm-2:00am is the race.

ESPN2 3-24 1am-2am qualifying

I don't see any practice listed. The times above are central time zone.

No one in their right mind lives in the central time zone.

Not saying you are wrong but where is your wife from again?

I said lives, not ‘is from’
And she married me. She is not in her right mind.

Practice is on ESPNNews Friday @ 11pm eastern daylight savings.

Thanks, I couldn't find anything last week when I looked. The must have changed the listings.

LatinVenom · « **Reply #2268 on:** March 23, 2018, 04:25:50 PM »

I have the same listings as elff since last week.

elff · « **Reply #2269 on:** March 23, 2018, 06:31:46 PM »

Im Giddy with excitement.

LOL

Critterman · « **Reply #2270 on:** March 24, 2018, 10:12:15 AM »

They showed P3 and started an hour later than the listing time, hope you extended your recording.
Qualifying was interesting. Not sure how I feel about the look and colors of the new cars.

LatinVenom · « **Reply #2271 on:** March 24, 2018, 04:12:55 PM »

I missed the other announcers and I almost missed the practice because of the wrong schedule do to the rain.

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #2272 on:** March 24, 2018, 04:19:32 PM »

Watched qualifying, looks like Honda still hasn't figured it out. Haas looks like they could be contenders this year. Alonso has to like the change in powerplants.

What happened with Ricciardo, how did he get a 3 spot penalty?

I didn't see that F'n split screen broadcast hope it stays that way guess we'll see.

elff · « **Reply #2273 on:** March 24, 2018, 08:37:36 PM »

Tomorrow will tell about the split screen.
Unfortunately these announcers suck. I miss Leigh, Steve and Hobbs.

Tomorrow should be very interesting. These cars are incredibly close. Any of the top 6 can win and Haas looked very promising.

I was very surprised about Force India's lack of performance.

Critterman · « **Reply #2274 on:** March 24, 2018, 08:47:15 PM »

Ricardo was penalized in either P1 or P2 for infringement of a new rule concerning red flags. There was one and the stewards said he didn't lift soon enough and then slowed down too much. The announcers didn't understand why because they said he lifted when they would have after the lights went on. They talked about it but never showed it. I think we are getting the feeds from Sky TV in England. Those are the announcers there.
