TV All-Race Venue Events & Schedules... here.
Don't forget to check the F1-GP thread: ...F1-GP.
Don’t plan on getting Apple TV so I will have to settle for the practice qualifying and race summaries put out by F1 on Youtube.
I thought they’d be going around the track counter-clockwise.
Same here. ESPN’s race coverage is gone. The race’s highlights — usually 8-10mins — is also available later in the day, or next day.
I’m surprised the Chineys haven’t set-up roadblocks or mined the track...
I like that racing better than NASCAR.
The racing that involves making a right turn every now and then... Constant left turns typically result in complete boredom.
A Tilkering designed to say “up” in Mandarin. (上). The character is part of the city’s name. Bernie wanted effectively Tournament Players Clubs hosting F1 races with the same formulaic ideals.
Main thing is a huge long straight into a tight turn is the Tilkering specification. That will result in likely more lifting in the tightest turns to charge the 🪫 battery to become 🔋 battery. This Net Zero by 2030 is bravo sierra from Obamites. With the Tilkerings that F1 has, it is much easier to avoid they hope what happened in Melbourne. The chances they hope of this lift on straights will be a storyline.
Apple has proven left wing bias promoting news.
Road racing is real racing. TRASHCAR is pathetic crap; good only for the wrecks.
I didn't plan on getting Apple TV either. I'm getting sick of being nickeled and dimed to death by streaming services - YouTube TV, Netflix, Hulu, Peacock, etc. It's getting out of control.
But I am an iPhone user, and Apple is selling a bundle called Apple One which consists of Apple TV, Apple Music, Apple Arcade, Apple News, Apple Fitness, and 2TB of Cloud storage for $20/mo.
And one subscription is sharable among up to five family members. Just the cloud storage for me and my wife were already paying was half of the monthly Apple One subscription, and we never paid for Apple Music before but that alone would be the other half.
So I bit the bullet and bought Apple One. I don't use the News, Fitness, or Arcade, but I suppose Apple Music is nice, and as I said the iCloud+ being bumped up to 2TB is OK for my picture-taking crazy spouse.
But the F1 coverage turned out to be very good. It is the Sky Sports coverage. You get the main program, plus if you watch live you can choose to watch any of the in-car cameras for every driver.
So although I'm not happy about it, it turns out that Apple One isn't too terrible if you're an Apple iPhone user.
I am not an Apple iPhone user. I already have Peacock and Prime so that is all for me. I may get rid of them too.
“Rotisserie Wing”...
LOL.
The whole point is their audiences will be reduced to the elites. Exhibit A is Miami Gardens 2023 when (gasp) Kamala’s husband and his dottir showed up at the race. That’s Apple’s audience target.
