Assuming it'll have to be fairly early in the evening too, otherwise it's no good for the East Coast either. So like 3/4am in Europe... I'm ok with that, it'll bring back memories of getting up for the Aus GP before they made that a late afternoon race

I'd forgotten about that track. The track and pit lane using either side of the tunnel was so cool

Yeah I think the track layout would've been revised for 2008 had Champcar not been BETRAYED :whistling:

I can't really remember much of the race, but I do remember the race gallerys Champcar used to upload to its website being full of pictures like these as drivers tried to straightline the chicane:

*Edit* Oh yeah, and my avatar lol

Looks like Ben Edwards is going to commentate some races in the PLC in F1TV. Buxton is going to do the others.

'While the news of Edwards’ return to the booth is fantastic for subscribers of F1 TV Pro, fans in the UK will not be able to listen legally to Edwards’ commentary this season.

The premium-tier of F1’s over-the-top platform remains geo-blocked to UK fans thanks to F1’s existing deal with Sky Sports which runs until the end of 2024.'


Sadly we won't 'legally' be able to listen to him in the UK during live races, but I wonder if the feed will be used this year on F1's Youtube channel for their race highlights videos?

In Germany, Sky give you the choice of German commentary or no commentary, despite apparently having offered the UK feed in the past.

To make it worse, when the Sky box default to English sound (as mine is set to do), there's no problem playing the English soundtracks for clip shows and trailers :lol:

Youtube Channel, yes please. I'm sure there'll be a few HIGHLY LEGAL streams to find with him on too

Once again the main feed commentator might be annoying, but there's a paid alternative offered by F1 that contains superior commentary with Ben Edwards
Ahhh, the more things change the more they stay the same

Hope he gets the season review too... :metal:

Masi acted constantly in such good faith, they just HAD to fire him for his own good so he wasn't corrupted by the bad faith of the FIA

Oh well, we didn't expect them to say "You know what, we fucked up, we put too much on the guys plate and as a result he made a few mistakes due to the pressure he was under. It won't happen again" did we?

Posted on the Newsround and now will post here while we wait for the next race thread. An Aramco plant at Jeddah was aimed by a strike from Yemen forces. F1 race might be in jeopardy.
