Can't tell if serious. Outside of the extended...diffuser? Trailer hitch? Barbeque? it looks great.

If Williams survives long enough they'll eventually be back on top!
From the cockpit forward, it looks good. Behind there...no. The shark fin, the split rear wing and supersized diffusers are all awful.
Just stream it, the best feed is the Sky feed because they have Ted.

That looks like Bruno Senna's car after Schumacher tried an overtake.
The timezones are really rough for pacific time to watch live. That's why I'd love something I can watch when I can without needing cable/DVR.

As I said last page, the official www.f1tv.com has you covered. All sessions available shortly after airing (less than an hour generally).
Yeah. I do wonder what they'll do with the calender. Swap them with another race, or just have a long break? Logistically (if you even can swap races) it's basically Russia or Singapore that fit the bill. Otherwise we're looking at a near month break after three races, that impacts the momentum big time for Liberty I can imagine.
Sorry, had two tabs open and posted in the wrong one!
I don't mind that FE car. I assume the truncated wing setup is to allow the cars to follow each other more closely, which I approve of.
Well I assume they wouldn't outright cancel China? Like I think they will do everything to get it to show up somewhere during the year. But Germany does fit in the timespan. And logistically it would also be doable for the team. Iirc the teams start with two full sets of gear/buildings etc. Australia has kit 1 (that then travels to Vietnam > China > Canada etc.) And Bahrein the teams start with Kit 2 where they do the European races with. So logistically it would be possible. Just have the Bahrein gear transfer to Germany.
But the hosting and ticket sales, that would be rough on such a short notice. And Hockenheim seems to have an event that weekend already. Postponing it a week also wouldn't be an option because then the teams would have another triple header which they basically all agreed on would never happen again.
Interesting what's going to happen next.

That quote is only true because Honda was getting lapped multiple times per race when they joined F1. So yeah, they are the biggest improvers for sure. Are they ahead of Ferrari or Mercedes though? I'd be surprised if that were the case in 2020 since it was far from true up until 2019.

To actually clarify why not. F1TV Pro isn't available in the UK, you're gonna need the Now TV app and a sub to that instead.
The bad: As others have said, there's no live coverage (and nothing more recent than 2018 season the last time I checked) and no F2/support race stuff
The good: The archive races are pretty great, almost all of them are there going back to 1980, some as short highlights, but most as 30min highlights or the full races
The indifferent: I quite like being able to look at the live timing during practice of a GP weekend. And they've started adding extra content, e.g. the F2 documentary series which was quite interesting, and some post 2019 season reviews, but I've not dipped into that stuff too much.
I just about squeeze value out of it, but having had it for a couple of years I feel like I've seen most of the archive races I want to, so it's getting harder to justify keeping it on.
Thanks for the responses.
From the sounds of it I don't think I'll bother - I don't mind missing out on the races live, but if they're not going to post them a day or 2 after that's kind of what I'd want it for. Well that and the archive.
Its a shame really, its something that for what the service is in a lot of countries I'd happily give them money, but for the service here it sounds like its still lacking a bit too much

This really is exactly what I was looking for, thank you (just wanted to follow up again).
I think I can access this on the PS4 browser so I can watch on TV yeah? What are the highlights of 2019's season (race wise) so I can get in the mood for this year?
OP

Not sure about PS4 browser, but yeah, you'll need something that either has a browser or streams a browser or if you have an Android TV, sideloading the phone app is also an option.
Unfortunately the app situation remains a bit dire.
As for races, we actually did an end of year survey which had the following five top races:

When Merc starts not winning. The season was a real snoozer starting off. Austria is a good starting point.
On the subject of "best driver" I think this analysis from a redditor is pretty much the best I've seen:
https://f1metrics.wordpress.com/2019/11/22/the-f1metrics-top-100/
It's biased towards modern drivers because of improved training standards, but comparing between drivers of the same era I think it does pretty well.

Thank you both! I'm really pumped to see some racing again.
Even leaving aside the unfortunate ending, Bahrain was pretty good, had some decent battles. China was funny with ferraris tripping over each other. Canada had excellent drama.
If you really want to watch the pinnacle of the sport, that perfectly captures the spirit of the past years watch the French GP.
Part of the reason I stopped watching was my buddy and I actually falling asleep to multiple races in one season (somewhere around 2013)
I see I can watch classic seasons from 81' too now so that's probably more where I'll be heading. Just hearing those engine notes again...

I want to get into MotoGP but they make it basically impossible to watch a race. In the US, races are shown on the BeIn Sports network, which I don't have access to through my TV provider. And their version of F1TV, Video Pass, is like $150 a year! That's almost twice as much as F1TV costs. So the only way I can watch a race is through ...questionable... means, and often that means I can't watch it live. Add in the fact that the owners of MotoGP are incredibly stingy with highlights or analysis videos online.. it almost seems like it's not worth the effort.
I'd love to follow MotoGP more closely, but for right now I'll stick with F1 (and Supercross for that sweet dirt bike action).
NBC Sports is becoming the new SPEED lol.
They have Indy, NASCAR, IMSA and now MotoGP.

I perfer MotoGP to F1, but the only bugbear is Marquez is just too good at the moment.
Haas adopting that Mclaren livery strategy of hiding the dick nose with color choices, I like it.
