I 100%, honestly, feel like she was brought in by SkyF1 because she's an attractive American woman who knows racing.

In her defense, her post race interviews are really good, as is some of her live commentary. But, through episode 4, her contributions to DTS haven't really hit well.
Could be an issue with what she is saying or what Netflix kept in the final edits.

Yeah, I never had any issues with her on the live broadcast pre and post race. She got same hate on social media for that as well. It's strange.
I think you're probably right about trying to appeal to American women. As for Claire Williams, it does feel weird to have her back. Makes me wonder if any of the other female Sky F1 or F1TV presenters were even approached to take part or if they couldn't contractually, or maybe they wanted too much money. Idk. I'm only 4 episodes in.
i did not care for her on the broadcast. respect her accomplishments as a driver but i didn't ever feel like i was learning anything from her commentary.

I know Lewis and Toto are professionals but I wonder if a "lame duck" factor might limit Mercedes results this year.
I had no idea until now that Toto is a billionaire from starting multiple racing and tech investment firms. I just thought he was a tough as nails team principal and former driver.
I knew he had an investment and finance background, but didn't know it was based around tech and racing. He's also the business manager for some of the drivers.

Meh. It's a produced documentary not a live sports show. I feel like I don't learn anything from any of their commentary. They're just narrating the script the producers want.
Stumbled upon this tweet about the Mercedes car. Pretty interesting design and very creative. I wonder how quickly other teams will protest this while also trying to copy it.
This was a planned change and the chassis has been engineered to do so, with two separate mounting points. Team's have often had a small degree of adjustability, but only a few mm, not 10s of mm.

Its likely this required a new wishbone, to keep the correct and legal geometry. pic.twitter.com/r0fiJP7pAQ

Good for him if true. Haas was supposed to give him shares previously.
Probably the weakest DTS to date… still was enjoyable.
It reminds me all over again how bad Sainz and Ferrari got hosed in Vegas. Ferrari would probably been P2 in The Constructors had the 10 spot penalty not hit them.I know rules are rules, but that's a tough one.

They missed so much. Oscar's spring win, COTA DSQs, Mercedes Qatar incident, Checo on the hot seat
🚨 BREAKING: The Investigation into Christian Horner is understood to have now been completed and a decision is expected to be made and communicated on either Tuesday or Wednesday.

The report, which is thought to run well over 100 pages, is now in the hands of the Red Bull GmbH… pic.twitter.com/OnJLU9RZ8K
Is there a Fantasy League code?
Investigation into what?
Improper conduct with a female staffer. I don't think it has ever been revealed if it was sexual or abusive conduct. RedBull (not RBR) conducted the investigation with a legal firm. The board is supposed to decide Horner's fate Wednesday (maybe).
Oh my. Thanks
Friendly reminder, the race is Saturday at 9am CST, not Sunday.

Yeah of course. I only figured it out because of a TikTok video I was watching and the woman pointed out that the race weekend dates were Thursday-Saturday for this race.
Hah, I set it to record and didn't even notice the date. Thank you
Yes because of Ramadan. Next year Melbourne should be first race due to same reason.
I figured a lot of us would be caught out by this. I guess I'll be watching the race from my daughter's dance competition or when we get home around 11pm.

VCARB put in some great soft runs and Danny Ric took tops in the session
McLaren looking good
Aston looking good and Alonso in good form

I'm about 15 minutes or so in on P1, and lol at Max. He has the fastest lap so far and just said over the radio "Everything is ***** Miles off."
