Navi x and live tv. There is alot so you got to search for one that works.

Quality is not all that but the commentary is great.

[bgh]

[kamakazi]

[NR8]

Max Verstappen keeps on surprising me.

Rosberg being a whiny beyotch

[NR8]

Verstappen's engine goes kaput. What a shame

[MG Man]

[RASC]

Guys the action is over at World Endurance Championship!

[MG Man]

[CocaineMachine]

[bgh]

Bahrain qualifying was great. Ferrari has some pace as vettel was on pole for a less than a seconds...
Top 4 lewis, vettel, nico, kimi.

[janfar]

Hope I can see this race tonight... it will be epic.

[NR8]

Looks like it will. Thoroughly enjoyed last year.

Race is at 11 am btw.

[janfar]

NR8... i an on the other side of the world.

What a race... Kimi took it too them. Lol at Rosberg blaming his brakes for losing the position. He had no chance against the Iceman.

Hi janfar, how yuh goin?

Nah I don't like Rosberg either... but I think that he was right about his brakes.
IIRC Hamilton also had a radio transmission about the same issue a few laps earlier.

BTW what ride do you own these days?

[MG Man]

if Hamilshithead was really as good as the fanboys claim, he would have dispatched Vettel by lap 4, and ran down and blitzed Nico by lap 15.....
discuss

[NR8]

I think he could have. But if he did he would have destroyed his tires. Simple as that imho.
Does it even make sense debating Rosberg vs Hamilton? Nope.

[NR8]

Good job by Bottas to split the Ferraris btw. You think think Williams took a step back from their performance last season, or have Ferrari have just come out that good from nowhere? I was really expecting Williams to be closer to Mercedes this season.

[MG Man]

I think if Williams had stronger drivers, they'd be right up there in the mix.....

[NR8]

I agree in the sense that I think Massa is kinda holding them back. But on the flip side Bottas has great potential imo.
Was nice to see Susie Wolff driving this weekend btw. Toto is a lucky man

[janfar]

Race was another run around. Other than the sheit coverage I get here it was just lame. Things are pretty bad when the highlight of the race is Pastor's mandatory crash.

Sanctifier, sold the evo. Driving nothing right now. Well... for now that is. Not in Trini these day so dont really need to have car. Wife bought a GLA250. Nice little peppy turbo engine. You still have the Evo??

don't talk to me when im going through the corners!!!!!

Refueling to return in 2017

http://www1.skysports.com/f1/news/12433 ... g-for-2017

[janfar]

Michelin wants to re-enter F1. Why doesnt the FIA want a tyre war. That would be great for tyre development instead of Pirelli monopolizing the sport.

[NR8]

Cuz the FIA mandated Pirelli to make faster wearing tires as a way to make the races more exciting for viewers. Pirelli is just doing what the FIA is telling them to do. And also because Ecclestone probably won't want want to give up the money that Pirelli is bringing.

[MG Man]

yup....F1 is getting so damn fake and contrived :-/
I rather the days when Mansell had to manage a single set of tyres for the whole race, than this current paradigm where you can 'overtake' with a pit stop and win

[NR8]

Whats' your take on re-instituting refueling MG? The cars should be faster. I've only been following F1 seriously for about 3 years now so I'm a bit excited to see what it brings.

[MG Man]

refueling has pros and cons, but it would definitely bring a better wildcard than tyre changes, but imo still brings too much pit strategy into the game....if you delete tyre changes and fuelling, then your driver has to save his tyres early on to capitalize on a lighter payload later in the game....imagine a race where nobody wants to runaway with the lead from lap 1, and you have a mad scrap for position in the last ten laps, where it's all or nothing because you may kill a tyre or run out of fuel.....

[MadCrix]

now that will be proper racing

[janfar]

Let your voice be heard.
