2025 F1 Thread

[Flashback]

Just watched it...could have been half as long and still got the same details.
Whitehall did a decent job, but who were the other presenters?

They will do it again I think but it needs to in Netherlands next year so HAM gets booed.
Then Melbourne the year after etc...or make it like Eurovision in the winners country.
If it is in UK every year its the same old SKY F1 arguement.

The music sucked, one guy would be good at a NASCAR Race and with the exception of the old fogeys of half of Take That I didnt know anyone else....
It could be much better with some more well know musical names. Or just do as Red Bull did and play something classic rock.

I wonder if the Teams designed their own "intro" thing or it was done by whoever was running the show...

Interesting the biggest boo of the night was for the FIA. More than VER, Horner and Eccelstone all put together. Under the woke laws of the FIA those fans should be charged with bullying and thrown out....lol

Yeah, I noticed on the highlights too where there was a UK driver in the team, that's what they showed rather than the other driver. I guess London is the most central timezone across all places they race and also a high number of British drivers. Had a very American feel to it as well, but no surprise there with the American ownership of F1.

Yes the American influence is turning it into the Superbowl...
I preferred it pre netflix when you could actually get a ticket and only car people went.
That new movie is only going to make it worse,

Im glad I saw Senna, Prost, Mansell etc back in their day fight on and off the track. Then be mates again over a beer and a smoke a few days later. They didnt carry on like a bunch of schoolgirls. These days you cant even have a beer and a smoke and you get a fine for swearing after you get shoved into a wall at 300kmh. If you dont want to hear it, dont monitor the radio on live TV.

Im sure I would drop a few F bombs if that happenned to me...

Each team had the responsibility of planning their own seven-minute segment, so what you saw from each team was what each decided for themselves.

Whitehall did a decent job, but who were the other presenters?

The others were Laura Winter, Ariana Bravo and Lawrence Barretto, who are the regular faces of F1TV. Barretto is a respected F1 journo and Winter is often the one interviewing drivers during the drivers’ parade on race day.

Interesting the biggest boo of the night was for the FIA.

That was rather telling, wasn’t it?

Im sure I would drop a few F bombs if that happenned to me...

That’s why I thought Whitehall’s chat with Gordon Ramsay was perfect
