Here's a great video about the first 10 minutes of Zandvoort with lots of driver/team chatter. It's amazing so many teams dismissed the drivers feedback. 

 

 

It's because the drivers are the Boy Who Cried Wolf.  Everything is always a problem with them.  It has to be hard for the teams to know when something is actually a real issue.

Bottas was really pushing for inters from the get to.  His race would have gone quite differently if the team had listened.

So since it's the offseason, I watched a 10 minute highlight replay of the 1984 Grand Prix in Dallas. Holy shit, the sport has come a long way. What a shitshow.

For one, they were just setup under tents in the pits. Second, they ran it on July 9, 1984 when it was 100 degrees. The track was literally coming apart when they put last-minute in patches in corners. Nigel Mansell's car stopped just before the finish line and he started to push it over the line and collapsed. Cars would die and they literally just parked them on the side of the track and kept the race going. Shit was wild. 

 

 

A couple of pics of mine from the race

Isn't that how we all thought it would go as soon as Daddy Stroll signed up Fernando? He's paying him $$$ to shove his son in a locker every Sunday.  But at least Fernando shares his brake settings first.

Do  they have one of those for every team? I bet Checo doesn't want to see the RBR one...

There were others, but not sure if they had every team. I think they had RBR.

Is it sacrilege to want Ferrari to run a yellow car for a weekend?  

Posted

Oh no, just realized that not only is the Spectrum/ESPN dispute going to cost me a bunch of football games this weekend, but it's also going to cost me all of the Monza sessions.

It just got real.

I'm looking for options.  It looks like there's not currently a free trial on F1TV but it's only $10/month so I could do it for a month to bridge, what is hopefully, a short gap.  

And honestly, since I seldom watch Euro races or sessions live, I could just go with the $3/month option that gives me replays.

BUT, that doesn't solve my college football problems.

Does anyone use YouTube TV for ESPN and sports?  If so, does it have to be live, or are replays available?  It looks like I could get a short free trial on Youtube TV that would cover the weekend anyway.

YTTV “DVR” is great. I’ve been a user for several years now.

They keep jacking the price up but its still worth it, mostly.

And Ferrari gets my hopes up in FP2 once again.  What will they fuck up this weekend?

1) Tire choices

2) A pip stop (almost a given)

3) Strategy (a given)

All of them at once I suppose Meme Generator - Imgflip

Definitely do the free YouTubeTV trial to get you through this weekend and see how you like it.  I have YTTV and absolutely LOVE it; I'll never go back.  Fuck cable and fuck DTV.

No, you don't have to be live.  You can set it to "Record all F1 events," and they'll be there.  Every FP, every quali, every race.  It will record replays as well, at which point you can select whether you want to watch the "live" race that aired on ESPN2 or the replay.  You can also do this for specific sports teams (Texas football, basketball) or leagues (NFL, CFB, etc. This one is the way to go.)

One dwnside is YTTV doesn't have Ballys Sports (not sure if Spectrum did).

Oh, and one especially awesome feature: YTTV will record the full event without you telling it to record longer, so you don't have to worry about rain delays like last weekend or CFB games that seemingly last 4.5 hours nowadays.

My YTTV worked perfect last race, switched the channel over and everything.

You must be an iPhone user. They don't get along with the Googs.

Yep. Best DVR I've ever seen, by far.

Yeah that's the only drawback for me. When I want to watch Stars or Astros games it's been a stream or nothing for me. But then just the other day my neighbor across the street logged me into her mom's DirecTV account, which should solve both problems. /csb

Yeah that's the only time it's cut anything short for me. I was surprised.

Same. Jumped on ESPN app and watched the end.

Yeah I finished it on F1TV, but I went back and checked again later and like Anton said, it had magically fixed itself. Just the best DVR ...
