Actually , Strange that I was thinking the exact thing a couple of days ago . It’s a good idea for street circuits . But yeah , FOM will never listen to anything . Heck they didn’t even bother about double points .
Tough To answer as I haven’t seen much of both . But , I’d say 80s as they perhaps had too many intense driver rivalry pairings .
Williams BMW or Williams-Mercedes ?
LOL . Loved the subtitle slip and Magnussen character . Yeah, despite the mobil 1 sales pitch , they have the humor sorted out.
Kobayashi on Vettel !
Well , I’d say the most exciting pass was that of Rosberg on Vettel as Vettel offered more resistance than Alonso .So, that would be my pass of the weekend.
But FOM was rubbish in China as we did not catch most of the incidents live . We also didn’t get to see the entire duel of Kobayashi and Max at the end in the feed. The one which did not happen .
I would also pick Lewis Hamilton and Nico Hulkenberg . I am immensely looking forward to Hulk in a competitive car just to see what he can do . That would be enough incentive for me to sign him up ( assuming I have enough $$ )
Another good enough combo would be Alonso and Lewis . I know their past , but somehow I feel they can be in the same team someday .
If I were to pick upcoming talents, I’d pick Danil Kvyat and Magnussen . They both look pretty hungry and super quick .
1. What country are you in (and state, if applicable)
India.
2. Which channels broadcast F1 near you?
Star Sports 4 ( It used to change between Star Sports 2 and Star Sports 4 ).
3. Do they show all the races live or only a limited number (if so, how many?)
All races .
4. Do they also show qualifying live?
Yes.
5. Do they also show practice sessions live?
Yes.
6. If they are a subscription channel, what does a full year’s subscription cost (excluding limited time offers)?
Usually the channel is combined with others . But to give you an idea , you would have to pay Rs 360 for a year (which works out to 6 $ a year ) if you were to add only that particular channel . Better deals are found in combos.
7. Do they broadcast coverage online? If so please post link/s
I don’t know .
8. Please supply any other relevant information such as alternative viewing options1)okay , first of all , they feed the sky commentary . So essentially we listen to martin brundle commentary but not the grid walks . But the pre-race is boring with Alex yoong.
2)You can route the channel through regular cable or through DTH with minor cost differences.
3)No HD option as of now .
It’s an older video . They call him the magician for a reason https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mefLkzDyQS4
I think teams do have a little influence over all this twitter stuff though I feel there are some drivers who still keep it personal .
Take for example the double tweets of Nico and Lewis which was featured in the round up . I was shocked !
Yeah , but if this is true , it’s a bad thing to say by LDM which is again , not uncommon . LDM always wants to get naughty doesn’t he . First it was giving knives as presents , then the Ferrari -Alonso web page ear tweak and now this . Ferrari better up their game next year or he will lose his cool further. I am exceedingly curious as to how Kimi will deal with this stuff next year . I have a vague memory of a video I saw in youtube where Kimi talls LDM’s manager to sod off while doing an ad.
