Can we have another race where Rosberg and Hamilton wipe each other out again? Thanks in advance.

I got up this morning early to catch at least part of the race, went "gently caress it, it'll be Mercedes 1-2 with either Red Bull or Ferrari 3rd, with absolutely fuckall action," and promptly went back to sleep. Looks like I was right.

It'll be a crowdsourced affair, post to twitter with '#worthwatchingtheF1 yes' or '#worthwatchingtheF1 no' and it'll feedback to the site, and the site will give you a percentage of yes/no votes - leaving you able to decide whether to waste your evening watching it on catch up. It could be simpler than that: code:

wuffles posted:Also in quali after Nico's lap, that saggy faced David Hobbs going "That was a SCORCHER" as the camera cuts to Niki Lauda's blank, melted face. As a Milwaukee resident, all I can think of when I think of David Hobbs is his Honda dealership. It still persists no matter how much I remind myself he raced in F1 for a handful of races (six) and has two class wins at Le Mans and took 3rd overall twice.

I think the move away from modified production cars to purpose built cars is what caused GT and TC to become more popular. Well, that, and the move towards LMPs.

simplefish posted:I can't believe that this is a pit lane in 2016. Seems more 1976, and even then... Indy has had some bumper car problems in the pits this year. The Indy 500 had a big problem, then Aleshin loses in the most Russian Dash Cam way in Mid-Ohio. US pit lanes are much more compact than F1, and usually everyone pits around the same time leading to a bit more chaos than F1 pits.

enri posted:I was thinking exactly that during the closing laps. All we need is for a commentator to utter the same thing live on air and invoke the dreaded commentator's curse. But that means Rosberg will win, unless somehow both Merc drives become absolute poo poo, letting the bogan win (Riccardo can only get 351 points, assuming he wins the remaining 8 races).

I'm guessing being the only non-Mercedes winner this year went to his head, combined with being promoted over Kvyat. Doesn't matter that that was the race where both Mercs took each other out, but still.

sticksy posted:Some commentator said that due to him going in backwards like that at that speed and the collapse of the "driver safety cell" (or whatever they call the cockpit) as it should've, that dislodged it but not that there was a failure per se. Doesn't exactly inspire confidence. Related: Tire barriers are better than a plain old steel or concrete wall, but seriously, if they're that close to the track (and not behind a non-paved runoff area), they should consider moving to SAFER.

Grosjean hit with a grid penalty for a gearbox change, starting 17th instead of 12th. Esteban Ocon permitted to race despite not setting a qualifying session time (his practice time was within 107%).

learnincurve posted:Liberty media own Virgin media and also have their sticky fingers in Sky and Fox. Which means NBC will likely lose broadcast rights and they'll give it to Fox... and promptly put it on Fox Sports 1 WHICH NO ONE WATCHES. They did that with the NASCAR races and viewership dropped like mad. This was their plan for the 24 Hours of LeMans one year: http://blackflag.jalopnik.com/foxs-tv-schedule-for-the-24-hours-of-le-mans-is-heinous-1709149579 , and then did this this year: http://blackflag.jalopnik.com/fox-sports-pushed-the-start-of-motorsports-biggest-even-1782209818 . (Not to say all of Fox's sports coverage is bad though. I like their American football coverage over CBS for the day games and their "local" channels pretty much allow all the local teams to be covered (Fox Sports Wisconsin pretty much airs all the Brewers and Bucks games that aren't on ESPN).)

MattD1zzl3 posted:Isnt "Fox Sports 1" just the rebranded "Speed TV"? Their coverage was excellent (only surpassed for me by the BBC) and i'd love to see the broadcasting dream team of Hobbs, Varsha and Matchett together again. It's a replacement in the sense that FS1 occupies the same channel that Speed did, otherwise they're completely different (FS1 is general sports coverage, supposed to be a competitor to ESPN  ). It's not like when Outdoor Life Network slowly shifted to general sports coverage by first picking up the Tour de France and the NHL, becoming Versus eventually, and then NBCSN.

Alain Post posted:Formula One at Road Atlanta would be extremely cool. Only two US courses are FIA Grade 1: Indy and Austin. Daytona, Belle Isle, Laguna Seca, Long Beach, Mid-Ohio, New Jersey, Somona, St. Pete, and The Glen are Grade 2. Baltimore is /technically/ Grade 2, though it hasn't had a race on its streets since 2013. Barber is grade 2+1T. Atlanta doesn't even have a FIA grade. As much as I would love to see a 2nd US F1 race and have that be rotating among all the great road courses we have, the amount of work it would take to get those tracks up to what F1 wants would likely ruin what makes those tracks great. Though the dream of seeing F1 cars losing their poo poo on Turn 5 at Road America always makes me smile

Indy Car has 15 races so far and 8 winners (there could be 9 winners over 16 races, but who knows).  In all seriousness: since 1996, only 7 teams have won a WDC (6 if you want to argue that Brawn and Mercedes are the same team, just different coats of paint). Same with WCC. In that time span, only twice has a team won WCC and not won WDC (1999 and 2008)
