2014 F1 thread.

Looking forward to the race to night, qualifying saw my fantasy team in a lockout for the first 4 spots




The big K struck Seb again with a gearbox issue, back 5 places you go :mrgreen:, so glad he is not in my team this year, freed up $8M, maybe I should buy him some lollipops to suck on . I do hope Massa can heap pace with his team mate and also finish.

Channel Ten are showing the race live which is unusual. The EU races are usually on One (like tonight's qualifying) live or at 1030ish on Ten.

I am guessing they making more ad revenue by showing it on Ten.

And perhaps they didn't have any ratings critical thing to show.

 

[whatmeworry]

I think recently if the race is in primetime it has become more common to show it on Ten, probably a reflection that F1 is actually popular in Australia.

Or channel Ten has rationalised why spend more by showing another program on Ten... Plus it might cost them more broadcasting on HD then SD.

In ADL the race is on One, watching the pre race show now.
TEN is screening 2014 MEL Comedy Festival from 10pm

See VET start at 15th is giving me a bit of a laugh!

My wife just asked why i was making a coffee at this time if night.

Then she realised F1 is back!

 

[moa999]

Needed a coffee to stay awake during most of that race, minus the last five laps

Not a bad effort though to get up and finish 4th.

Great to see Daniel claim a podium and actually keep it!

 

[Buzzard]

I'm with moa999.

A very good drive from Seb to finish 4th, but except for the last few laps the race was ho hum.
Mind you, it did give me plenty of time on AFF but I think I drove froggerADL mad with the number of PM's I sent - it was more like a chat room.

First race I fall asleep on for a long time... mercedes just very dominant.

Good drive by Dan and Seb.

 

[eastwest101]

Fairly boring race except for the end whenSeb and Alonso came alive, good wheel to wheel racing, good to see Lotus and Williams with some sort of race pace, not so fun for me being a Ferrari and a Sauber fan. Full credit to mercedes for allowing Hamilton & Rosberg to race eachother.

Mrs eastwest101 fell asleep.....

Sounds like I made the right choice going to bed after the first round of pit stops.

It's been such a struggle to watch this season, at least Monaco will be up next!

 

[Grooba]

Yea it's been tough, but not as tough as the wait is between seasons!

Unfortunately, although Monaco is a visually spectacular race, the cars have outgrown the street circuit which affords little overtaking. It's usually quite processional.

Agreed. It really shouldn't be on the F1 Calendar anymore.

 

[hummel]

I suggest watching the GP2 race before the F1 if possible for the Monaco round. Those guys race for sheep stations.

Sir Jack Brabham has died. A sad day for motor sport.
