FIA Formula One 2018 |OT| Halo: Racing Evolved
- Thread starter Aiii
- Start date
Oh another Turrini article, he was totally off the chart before last season... Mercedes will still have the edge on the engine front though.
I'm currently paying $65 AUD a month to watch F1 on foxtel. I don't watch anything else on TV so it's pretty much a waste of money from the last race of the year until Melbourne.
I also don't go to the Australian Grand Prix anymore as I spend my ticket money on foxtel instead.
So I'll pay anything less than 65 a month for streaming.
Sky's contract is up for renewal soon, right? I assume F1 will want to keep streaming rights for themselves in future.
Keith? Really? No Sir, i don't believe you. I mean it is the sexiest name on Earth but it just doesn't jibe well with the rest of commoner names he has there. It's a bit too classy and sticks out like a sore thumb.
Nah, it went to a few countries but was hung up on the UK a bit because of the Sky deal. But at least it ended up here in it's proper network form.
In Canada it's basically a TV channel with no VOD. WWE really caved into the Canadian broadcasters there
It has to be noted that Sky basically produce the world feed for F1 so any deal will be more involved than just broadcast rights.
Thanks for the info.
Formula E news:
Pininfarina and Mahidra Racing signed a strategic partnership today. This could also be a sign of Pininfarina doing designs for Mahidra on other fields as well
Why "great news" ?
Marc Surer was best commentator/F1 expert and not biased.
Because it makes the streaming service from Liberty more likely to be available here and I'd rather have that than paying for Sky when I just want to watch F1.
Unfortunately I have a friend getting married that weekend. Already tried to persuade the fucker to move it forward a week.
I'll try and take photos of the classic gp they have a couple of weeks before and also the lead up to it.
And you think that will be cheaper?
Without Sky, I'm probably done with F1 for now. Surer was the only decent expert and I'm not gonna pay 10-20 Euros or whatever they gonna ask on top.
I don't see how Liberty's service is going to be more expensive than the Sky Sports package that includes F1. Not to mention the absolutely awful apps Sky has everywhere, with 720p streaming only.
I think it will be very expensive with bad commentators and with no access from my country.
I hate so much watching F1 on RTL and most Ebel. Comercial break every 10 minutes and without friday practices its a mess.
I agree, so shocked even right now. Loved Surer the perfect guy as F1 expert. My local tv is like watching parody.
I'd be fine with 720p if it were 50/60fps but Sky Ticket is still only 25fps. A high framerate's gonna be an absolute must for Liberty's service.

Fuck. Only extended Sky because of F1 last christmas. Guess i'm gonna drop F1 until the Liberty thing launches. Can't be arsed to watch on RTL.
Cool, I have nothing to post right now, I just wanted to know.
I'd love to follow Indycar more closely but unfortunately Band does an awful job bringing the races on air over here.
I'm going to set one up next month. It's probably going to be the most promotion IndyCar has had in years lol.
LMAO, you did a great job with the Daytona one. Let's see if Indycar regain some ground with these better looking cars they have now.
FYI there is already a non-F1 Motorsports thread here:

Talking about F1 streaming prices.. I don't think they're idiots, and Bernie 'bleed them dry" Ecclestone isn't involved anymore.
I think F1 will make it competitive and value for money and actually make the sport attractive again for fans. Eurosport in the UK costs something like £6 or £7 a month, Netflix £7ish, Now TV (Game of Thrones, Walking Dead etc) is £7. For a one sport service with 20 races a year I'd expect no more than those to be honest. Even £10 a month would be great to me personally, although I want widespread native apps for the service with 4K and high frame rate race coverage. No reason why not (recently acquired 75mbps broadband and can effortlessly stream amazingly detailed 4K60fps videos on YouTube, F1 like that would be bloody incredible.)
I think people are being very forgetful that this company actually wants to make F1 more popular and more accessible to people, far from the ethos of Ecclestone.

I like the confidence.
Japanese motorsport journalist Masami Yamaguchi says Honda have gained 90bhp since spec 3.8 was introduced.

I'll refuse to watch F1 on RTL. Their whole bias on german drivers is unbearable. Sky on the other hand had enthuastic commentators who just want to see great racing. I know they reported record numbers for subscriptions but what's left on Sky? 80% of Bundesliga, 60% of Champions League, other sports like golf, tennis and handball that have very limited viewership. I wouldn't be surprised if they leave the german market 5-10 years from now completely.
I might cave in if Liberty Media or someone else announce an affordable streaming service. 10€ a month (at most) if coverage is top-class and quality is great (HD + 60fps).

People going ballistic on FB/Twitter because there is a Halo. But responses from F-E community manager on Facebook are pure comedy gold.
Zurich E-prix map. Standing ovations for chicane....yeah right

We won't see whole S5 F-E car until Tuesday. Unless somebody will leak it
Probably not, but we will have to wait a little longer for F1 cars being unveiled.
