@mfreire I’m fine with China although they support more the local product wish is fair to be honest. The WEC race had a big crowd, Abu Dhabi is well marketed but only if you’re a rich guy…
@mfreire I know this is a supposition but from a realistic POV. You’re a doing the thing that Bernie always wanted to do. Races everywhere in exotic places so he can fill his pockets with $$$$$$$$$$$$.
A 27-race calendar is something impossible from the logistic POV also team and even some journalist didn’t wanted a 20+ race calendar for obvious reason. I’d bring back testing of course.
Starting a season in January. This is not 1979 where you could race with a 2 year old car and still being competitive.
I know this is a supposition, a dream or whatever but this is too fantastic to be real….@fer-no65 At the beginning I was keen to see what Mediapro was offering but after finding out that Directv was involve. No thanks. Fox Sport’s coverage is crappy indeed starting from the pit reporter to the commentators especially the guy who has a sort of man crush with Ferrari and also the coverage it lacks of professionalism as they talk of “old f1” rather than what is actually happening on the race track.
Checking the headline I got it wrong (bit of sensationalism from me) but still anyway a serious matter because the significance of F1 for the Brazilians and viceversa is huge.
About the TV rights, the big thing here has been that Mediapro brought the TV rights of F1 in Latin America (except Brazil) on march. The contract runs from 2015 until 2019.1) Bottas
2) Rosberg
3) Hamilton
4) Ricciardo
5) Alonso
6) Hulkenberg
7) Kyviat
8) Vettel
9) Massa
10) Bianchi1. What country are you in?

Yes5. Do they also show practice sessions live?
Yes, since 20116. If they are a subscription channel, what does a full year’s subscription cost (excluding limited time offers)?
Well it’s a bit confusing but if you wanna watch F1 live in Chile you have to buy the “Fox Sports Premium” (7 pounds per month) to get the F1 races and Qualy live while the Free Practices and GP2-GP3 are live on Fox Sports 3 which is available on every cable company here without paying an extra price.
Here’s the mindblowing fact. The “Fox Sports Premium” runs only for Chile. Places like Argentina, Colombia, etc don’t have to pay for that “premium pack” they watch the races on Fox Sports.7. Do they broadcast coverage online? If so please post link/s

Until 2012 F1 was being shown Free to air on Chilevision then Fox Sports broke the contract at the end of that season……about the Showrun. Red Bull did a few laps and some Donuts
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v17j97YHXhoHere’s singing the Chilean Anthem
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoDxNQEG3HII was as a “Photographer Assitance” so i had an All Acess pass and i walk into the Garage, spoke with the Engineers, David Coulthard signed my cap, freed Red Bull, free Food, beautiful Girls it was cool.
I can’t tell you if the showrun was lame because the last time an F1 car did a Showrun was in 2006 and of course everything was different. So we didn’t care about those detaills we just enjoyed the Showrun. : )Red Bull came to Chile too, it was awesome to be honest.
Coulthard drove the Car and did some runs and a lot of Donuts was amazing see how the RB7 could handled Santiago Streets are a quite bumpy.
About the Showrun i was in the VIP Zone as a “Photographer Assitance”.@raymondu999 true, i don´t uses the live timing app i use the live timing web site even they troll me for that on twitter.
Conor Daly even he drove a F1 with Force India, Alex Brundle maybe can get the same sucess a he´s father Martin but i believe he will drive a F1.
well first to all my twitter since a F1 FAN start to follow me !pum¡ my twitter change now i have followers from UK, Scotland, US, Argentina, Uruguay, Cyprus, Spain, Austria, Mexico even from Bangladesh and Chile my country too.
wake up in different hours 2 am, 3am, 5 am, 6 am, 7 am.
pay more attention in the times for FP and Qualy.
and start to tweet in English.to me the worst driver in Formula 1 history was Al Pease and Yuji Ide.
Victor “Al” Pease: Canadian driver, he drove in the Canadian GP one time (1969) for John Maryon. during the 1969 Canadian GP at Mosport Park he was DSQ for being too slow, !!yes too slow¡¡ maybe a fact was the heavy rain in that race but you cant drive in a track 69 km/h per lap. the DSQ happend when Ken Tyrrell made a scandal when Jackie Stewart almost crash with him.
he had sucess but in the Canadian motorsport even he was inducted as a member of the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame in 1998.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/alonsomanso/6962024674/in/photostream/ (Al Pearse)about Yuji Ide everyone knows about him, but i leave this video when he drove in the Suzuka 1000km in 2006. is in Japanese but but I believe we can understand the images by themselves.
