F1 season 2016

[Octopus]

Honestly, when you see the difference in ten seconds on the track it is unbelievable.

I agree with what you have said . Competition is one thing ; unfair advantage , another altogether.

The spirit of the days of teams lending parts is long gone.

I remember the bad blood between Senna and Prost .... Honda brought 4 engines to a race , lined them up in front of the press, and asked both drivers to choose an engine.

The same should be done for ALL the cars using the same engines..... or the manufactures shouldn't be allowed to have a team.

The good "old" Cosworth days - with over 1/2 the grid using the same power plant!

If Red Bull had secured engines from Mercedes or Ferrari for 2016 - I would have put money on them beating the supplier - and that's why they didn't get a new engine supply!

Those were classic races too. Senna and Mansell too.
Some great racing then, a lot of drivers outclassed there cars .
My particular favourite was Hakkinen he was doing things with that Maclaren when Mansell said it was unsafe to drive.

 

[ruston]

Their cars ,even lol.

As my brother says "the cream always rises to the top" - no matter what happens in qualiy, Hammy will be there...

Sadly , not always true. I watched Alonso at Silverstone do the very best he could with the once mighty Maclaren, back of the field for most of the race.
It was so sad to see.[/QUOTE]

Quite frankly the Maclaren could not be described as an F1 car, it was a total joke. Alonso driving around in an airport hire car would have been more successful.

That's true. We were at 'Beckets' , as he tried his best to push through the corners the car was backfiring like an old site dumper on a limiter. The Mauritius looked like a Mercedes in comparison.

I'm hoping mclaren have sorted a few of there issues out for this season and are at least fighting with the middle part of the grid. Saying middle part of grid would be good to see manor further up there with there new Mercedes engine and Williams gearbox

I would love to see Jenson have a blistering season before he retires. A real gentleman.

100% agree with you on that

And Alonso too. It would be great to see then both battling near the front

Without a doubt . There are a lot of drivers on the grid that are great, but Jenson is a true ambassador. So is Filipe , in my opinion.

I have got one but it's not that good

What box have you got Murdoch?

What really pxsses me off about the Sky package is that you have too pay about £60 per month to watch F1 in HD.

If it was £10 per month for F1 HE ONLY I would subscribe tomorrow

See Sky have the F1 right's to 2024. Perhaps by then, there'll have sorted out qualifying.

So for me its C4 until the end of '18 then no more F1

I do not know what Bernie and CVC are thinking...... to watch Sky F1 HD would cost £67 a month - viewers will be turning away from the sport and as viewer numbers fall, so will the advertising revenues AND the sponsors.

Talk about turkeys voting for Xmas......

And what about the EU - where is the competition? Is all TV excluded from the free market?

Whats the big problem ? All you need to do is Down load one of the many free HD players like Ace player (Not Flash it's naff ) plug your PC to TV via HDMI and watch it Stream free ! been doin this for Years . Most players these days allow you to record to your hard drive so late races arnt a problem so end of problem. This goes for any live sport you like + film or tv show. Some internet providers are cottoning on to this and now block sites but if you use a VPN your good to go again ! Happy Days lol.

Watched L hamilton win last year on my internet phone ( Not pc ) on a beach in Mexico its so easy !
+ my missis could watch emmerdale farm live while we were havin lunch lol
