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. (δΈ). 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 πͺ« battery to become π 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.
