It took a while for your image to open for me there TS and so it looked like you had even less to say then I.

IMHO, that race was boring.

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #4002 on:** June 16, 2023, 01:09:07 PM »

Kanadian GP this weekend unless they cancel due to smoke?

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #4003 on:** June 17, 2023, 12:10:30 AM »

Well don't bother watching P1

Critterman · « **Reply #4004 on:** June 18, 2023, 05:09:00 PM »

P2 started 30 minutes early so you probably don't have that either. The race??? predictale

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #4005 on:** June 21, 2023, 11:09:30 AM »

Yep missed the first 30 of P2 because the DVR didn't know.

I watched the Ricardo version of the race so as not to have to hear Danica and her clueless commentary. Not exactly must watch TV but better than the alternative. I saw the prerace with Danica and thought it amusing to see the look of the other broadcasters when she was speaking and had no clue what she was talking about.

The race was not that interesting even though it was closer than some of the past races so I have some hope that things will get better.

Mid pack racing has been better lately.
MB is definitely picking up the pace

Let me start off by saying I have no love for the sprint races, but this race WOW

Critterman · « **Reply #4008 on:** July 02, 2023, 08:39:30 PM »

Well the race was something else, over 1200 failure to maintain the track infractions. So many they couldn't get to them all. They did serve several during the race, so many the commentator remarked on it. Then after the race they impose an additional 12 which shifted the final finish. It took 5 hours.

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #4009 on:** July 05, 2023, 11:08:02 AM »

They could fix that real fast if they just said out of bounds = lap not counted.

Just like if they said if you exceed the budget cap none of the races after you exceed the cap count.

Or just develop some code that if enough cars do it, the penalty is curved appropriately.

NASCAR had it right when you could duck below the yellow line so long as you didn't improve your position.

Silverstone was probably one of the better races this year. It looks like Mclaran suddenly has a car that can compete.

Somehow my DVR did not record P3.

Critterman · « **Reply #4012 on:** July 10, 2023, 05:30:39 PM »

for once I agree with everything you say

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #4013 on:** July 10, 2023, 10:57:48 PM »

You previously agreed with me when I said Elff was short.

Critterman · « **Reply #4014 on:** July 12, 2023, 04:39:06 PM »

Short is an over statement

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #4015 on:** July 12, 2023, 09:03:47 PM »

You know he's tall enough to read this thread? Your ankles may not be safe!

TomatoSoup · « **Reply #4016 on:** July 21, 2023, 06:28:36 PM »

OK, I think I hate you all. I have NOT been watching F1, but because of this thread, I started watching 'Drive to Survive' last week. I'm halfway through season 2 already, and I don't normally watch a lot of TV!

So, I believe the next race & qual is this weekend. Is there anyway of watching if you don't have ESPN? (My wife tore up my man-card years ago.)

Critterman · « **Reply #4017 on:** July 22, 2023, 11:48:55 AM »

There is an ESPN app. Don't know if it costs or not because I have the channel. You could check and see. And yes Hungary this weekend.

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #4018 on:** July 22, 2023, 01:05:38 PM »

The is also a Sky TV app that might be better, but not sure if it will work on this side of the pond.

Critterman · « **Reply #4019 on:** July 24, 2023, 09:49:44 AM »

While it was exciting to see Hamilton get the pole after such a dry spell, all that excitement was gone by turn two. Ver ran off and was not see again. Lando drove a good and Perez pulled up his big boy pants, made up spots and ended on the podium. The rest of the race was rather dull.

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #4020 on:** July 28, 2023, 11:01:28 AM »

True dat.

And if Sky TV is reading this why is Danica at a race outside of North America? She's clueless, when others asker her a question and start by saying Danica what.... and she eventually responds with oh do you mean me, you know she doesn't belong there.

Critterman · « **Reply #4021 on:** July 28, 2023, 11:26:31 AM »

Spa this weekend

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #4022 on:** August 10, 2023, 01:11:41 PM »

Is it bad that I have Spa on the DVR and still haven't watched it? I have watched the practice, sprint race, and pre-race but kind of don't care to watch another Max parade.

Critterman · « **Reply #4023 on:** August 16, 2023, 05:16:47 PM »

Yes, every week that goes by means you have to watch it once for every week before you can watch the next race at the end of Aug.

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #4024 on:** August 16, 2023, 09:23:52 PM »

You mean I have to watch another race after this one?
