2021 Formula 1 Season

I put $2 on Norris to make the podium.

I hate TSN and their F1 on tsn5 garbage. One of the biggest sports in the world and biggest race and they have it on their extra channels. They are going to force me to get F1 tv.

Does anyone have the cheaper F1 “tv access” package? How soon after the race does the replay get put up? I figure with the time differences, if the replay is soon enough that would work.

Edit: figured out the replays happen 2 days after the event. Meh, too long. Guess I’ll just watch YouTube highlights.

Get F1 TV 110% worth it, I got sick of TSN having commercials every f%#king time something important happened and never looked back. Replays are nearly instant if you don’t catch it live.

Oh man. I know it's not TSN's fault, but they're lack of having someone monitor when a commercial should come on seemed to always shoot them (well us, really) in the foot. ALWAYS during one of the sparse events that actually happen in an F1 race.

I got F1TV last year and used it for all the 2020 races. It worked spectacularly. This year, it's been a bit hit and miss. Buffer type issues where you have to refresh the stream page for it to play again. Happened about 5 times today in qualifying, but then finally worked for all of Q3.

Another vote for F1 tv. It glitched on me for one race last year and I seem to have lost the ability to cast it from the app but it's a much nicer way to watch the races. And with pro the replays are up right away so you can sleep in as long as you turn off notifications on your phone. Very important to turn off notifications. Very.

As for the race I predict there's gonna be a wreck in turn one taking out 3 of the top ten including Ham and allowing some unlikely cars to earn some points.

[KelVarnsen]

Bottas is always likely to get a Bottas start and wreck someone

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Sounds like Ferrari effed up and Leclerc’s gearbox is wrecked. They said it was fine just a few hours ago. Now he’s out of the race. Of they’d changed it he would have started 6th.

Maybe not his gearbox? Either way, he’s out.

[btimbit]

I thought they'd at least butcher a pit stop and lose the podium but a DNS, wow

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Hahaha. To see both Mercs have bad luck on the same lap puts a smile on my face.

[btimbit]

Wow, that one I did not see coming

[Cecil Terwilliger]

The Monaco tv race director is a ####ing #######. Terrible during qually, even worse during the race. This is unacceptable for an amateur HS broadcast let alone a professional billion dollar organization.


On the other hand hearing Hamilton whine and complain is music to my ears.

Cutting away from an overtake is unforgivable. So brutal

[dammage79]

Hell yeah! Lando with another podium!

[btimbit]

Very interesting race, despite the predictable lack of overtakes.

Best part of nightshift, I get home just in time to crack a beer and watch F1

[FurnaceFace]

Well that wrecked a bunch of predictions! I think 2 in the right order for me and 7/10. Bottas needs to sacrifice a boat or something, he has the worst luck.

Thanks for the good press on F1 tv. Based on what I read, I assume I need to get the pro package to get same day replays? The TSN commercials are always maddening, seemed to always cut away when they are talking to someone on track or in the middle of incidents.

Edit: I didn’t even think about US channels, ABC has the race on right now.

Ricciardo and McLaren appears to be a massive mistake for both.

Id be cruious how someone like Russell would fare in a McLaren. I mean they use Merc powerplants now..

As for todays results I think i did pretty well. 2 correct podiums and 4 correct overall. And 8 out of 10

[rubecube]

Pretty new to F1 but had a good laugh at Hamilton's hissy fit when his crew told him Perez had pole on him.
