Am I alone in not liking what I feel is Sky's over commercialisation of their F1 broadcasting? My thinking is that Brundle (others, too) only went to Sky for the money rather than them making a better show.
I think sky are making offers they would be stupid to refuse to be honest. I generally time it so I tune in for just before the actual race starts cant be doing with half the nonsense they go on about before.
It's Sky, they overcommercialise every dedicated sports channel, and crossover so the get even wider coverage on their non-sport channels (take SkyOne/SkyF1 live race simulcasts). You've got to hand it to them though, they put on a damn good show and have a huge team. I stuck the telly on SkyF1 yesterday to watch FP1, and then F2 qualifying, then FP2. With those tearful tributes to Niki, the interviews and insight is second to none, I don't even mind the often repetitive fillers inbetween shows such as when Brundle took the Lotus 49 around Zandvoort. Great stuff.
aww... vettel survived his clip with the wall... that would've been hilarious had he written the car off...
I like to think that somewhere in Italy, there is a nice villa in the mountains, in that villa Maurizio Arrivabene and Stefania Bocchi are sat in front of their big TV on their big sofa with nice Italian beers and they're laughing their arses off. Binotto is certainly making it look like Ferrari sacked the wrong guy.
Seriously wtf Ferrari. Vettel is done in my eyes and le clerc is your future and yet you keep shafting him. I can't see them winning ever again because they believe in their own hype to much
Well Vettel was throwing the Retirement word about in his interview with C4's Mckenzie... plus given how often he was clipping the wall [he hit a wall at least 3 times today], his head isn't in it.
In all honesty unless he has the perfect car with no competition he struggles, yes he's a four time champ but I don't feel he had to work for it. I actually really like the guy but I don't rate him.
Vettel's contract runs out at the end of the 2020 season, I reckon he'll retire. Ricciardo's Renault contract runs out at... the end of the 2020 season. If I was Ferrari I would be approaching him with offers yesterday.
How in fugs name did they think a five second time penalty is a fitting punishment for releasing a car into pit lane traffic?
