Yep. And while the populairty is much higher now, I cant imagine the costs were justified for those broadcasts.

SkySports is a well oiled machine. They do a good job of keeping it fresh each race, even though it's the same 10 drivers they're focusing on, at the same locations as the previous season (for the most part).

I can't imagine ESPN wanting to spend the money needed to do their own broadcast.

I like SkySports coverage, especially ole Martin Brundle

If it wasn't the SkySports broadcast I would pay for F1TV to get the announcers from that broadcast.
(oops - meant to reply to this one)

You get two broadcast options now on F1TV - the F1TV team OR the SkySports. I've been 100% F1TV so far this year... even though I enjoy the Sky team as well.

Yep, I was paying for it for the last couple of years. I enjoyed the F1 broadcast this year during FP and Quali, but prefer Sky for the race itself. Trying to cut back on expenses so I'll just stick with ESPN and their Sky rebroadcast.

Nelson Pique apparently stepped in it. Used the N word talking about Hamilton in a Portuguese interview.

Side note: I didn't realize his daughter is Verstappens girlfriend.

And she has a kid with Kvyat. That's an interesting dynamic.

Red Bull just fired Juri Vips because he said a racial slur while streaming on twitch.

Quote:

The Guardian understands F1 will now not allow Piquet access to its races until he publicly apologises and also apologises to Hamilton.

Mercedes, who have supported the seven-time champion's outspoken efforts to promote anti-racism and diversity, meanwhile also immediately expressed support for their driver. "We condemn in the strongest terms any use of racist or discriminatory language of any kind.

It's the "international" option.

Last year that was default and you had the 'pit lane' channel with the F1TV crew.

This year F1TV crew is default and there's a globe icon to toggle over to the sky crew.

I didn't know about the kid but new she was his ex.

Piquet responds and claims comment wasn't meant to be racist. Sounds like it could be similar to Howard Cosell's infamous remark. No racism intended, but used a phrase that came off the wrong way.

This is just me but it's insane how Vips got fired as if Max hasn't used derogatory words before and all he got was community service. Now Vips is being treated like if he was Ticktum 2.0

I need to look up what Vips said to get fired.

This is why I don't think he's going anywhere for a while, whether it's with McLaren or someone else. He's got too big a following and is way too marketable right now.

And McLaren is leaning heavily on the US market. Doubt he goes anywhere next year, but after the current contract I don't see McLaren holding on unless his results improve.

I know he's not the guy anymore, but damn this sport just can't get out of its own way.

I appreciate the "[Putin] is a businessman, like me. Businessmen tend to make mistakes" bit.

Not sure who this Brit is, but I'm pretty confident he didn't make a mistake that led to a massive war.

Not sure why Red Bull was so quick to the trigger, but you can't be making any remark that could be racist and expect to avoid punishment.
jorgerr96

Yeah like I fully expected a punishment, but it seems like people want him completely gone, no second chances. Seem to forget that time Hamilton made fun of his nephew for wearing a dress.

Had a decent time yesterday. Not sightings of drivers and the garages weren't even open for our pit lane walk but got to meet Oscar Piastri, Martin Brundle, and Safety Car driver Bernd Maylander!

Hopping to the paddock club today and try get autographs from a few drivers. There's an inner track here at this track that I believe lets you see the exit of the paddocks and I think my ticket includes that area as well so I'll just go there at the end of the day to try get some Formula 2/3/W Series autographs from drivers I'm mostly interested on

I read yesterday that RB cut ties with him, but not his F2 team.

Biggest reason why is cancel culture.

My son has wandered into the COTA back paddocks area before and hung with the families of the F2 or F3 drivers. He still talks online with a couple of those drivers every now and then.

Good luck getting those autographs. Those series are a lot of fun to follow.

Wait. This is for real? I legitimately thought you were joking. How many cut aways from racing action to see someone's feet are we going to get?

Looks like they were just piloting it with Lando Norris. I don't remember if anyone else had it in use.
