F1 says all is on as planned, but keeping an eye on the situation.


WEC just cancelled their race in Qatar scheduled for 3/26.

F1 is supposed to be there two weeks afterwards.

Not sure they would replace any of the races unless there was a big gap.


Yeah, it would suck but there’s already “too many” races as it is.

As much as I hate saying that at this point in the season.
Honda promises to have their shite together by the 3rd race this year which happens to be in Japan.
I was reading some article about Honda over the weekend. Said something about various vibrations they can’t get control of damaging the battery for some reason.

Crazy.
Well that’s cool.

The behind the scenes of the O2 live reveal 1st episode is worth watching if nothing else is.

Dts dropped today. Episode two with scooby Doohan and flavio is entertaining so far.


Just tuned in… wouldn’t have thought Buxton was still on it. Thought he went full Indy.

Even a used first gen 4K is great. HDs are still good too but this’ll be the first year we can watch F1 in 4K thanks to this new deal.
You can buy them cheap on eBay

My older samsung can't locate F1 tv app, and on my new Samsung I can't even figure out how to search the apps. It wants to suggest everything for me instead of letting me look. It makes me feel so old and dumb.


Do yourself a favor and go buy decent quality streaming boxes to use instead of the TV’s built in apps.
They sell a cheap one at Walmart called Onn that’s great apparently and Apple TV 4Ks are fantastic if you’re already in the Apple ecosystem.


I have them on all of our TVs including a Panasonic Plasma TV from ~2012.

It’s the best thing I’ve ever done for our TVs. The second best thing is factory resetting the ones that had been internet connected and taking them off the WiFi or Ethernet. Just treating them like they’re dumb TVs, otherwise they all seem to make themselves worse over time and spy on you.

Yeah, some may enjoy it but I don't see how Apple exceeds ESPN viewership at the end of the day... Especially ABC for the America's races.


Well. They can play it on Netflix too apparently and haven’t they said they’re going to put the US races out for free or something like that?

cannot believe that F! put itself behind a paywall in the US.


ESPN is a paywall too.

Was carrying $85/month YouTubeTV to watch F1.

Should be the highest watched F1 race of the year if it’ll be on Apple TV and Netflix at the same time right?

I’m already enjoying the F1 TV access and have watched all the bonus/extra stuff they’ve put out pre-season and signed up or subscribed to all the FP1 FP2 etc on the Apple TV app
This year is our year!

Only a “Ferrari fan” because Seb drug me to them and at this point it’s been so long that they’re basically underdogs.

I just got notification that soil temps in the Baton Rouge area have reached 70 degrees now.

They’ve got so much work to do between now and then. They’ve got to be so embarrassed.
Meanwhile Audi is just cruising right along with their entirely new engine and everything right?
I feel like there’s no news about them.

Yeah, luckily for Honda they’ll get a chance to fix it. Maybe by the time Merc gets their advantage taken away Honda will have some more power to match.

Hard to believe they’ve seemingly dropped the ball this much and “Ford” Red Bull got it so right.

Maybe it was Red Bull all long?
