Pretty sure those segments apply to social media.
DHL fastest pitstops and fastest lap existed last year at least
Don't think commentators have to say "here's Rolex super slow mo"

So what if they have to mention a few sponsors during the broadcast, I don't see what the big deal is.

I can't wait to watch my beloved Williams trundling around in 15th every single race, everyone is basically saying their car is crap, and the drivers are what they are... Hopefully the race at the front is actually a race.
Fair play to Hamilton, his hair is worth every penny he paid for it.
I'm legit jealous.
It's like each has their own halo - why stop at the cars?
F1 2015 was pretty nice, and not that light on content as it featured 2014 cars as well.
The singleplayer was rather slim though. 2017, with the 6+ season spanning extensive upgrade tree and numerous historical cars plus various alternative season modes, is probably one of the best "bang for buck" F1 games even outside of Codemasters.
There's corporate logos all around the track and on cars. Who cares what they call a pit stop. They aren't adding commercials every five minutes like US broadcasts.
The career mode was bad and there was no safety car though. A bare bones first effort from them this gen, but free is nice. 2016 and 2017 were huge steps.
I'd still be playing 2017 career, but Codemasters messed something up in a patch and AI cars occasionally pit every lap in changeable rain conditions. Killed my 5 season career and Codemasters is just ignoring it while making 2018 now.

Is that on console? I just had a race where I expected the AI to pit during changeable conditions but they actually DIDN'T. I've never seen that behaviour you're describing
That happened to me, too. Got my first podium in that Sauber! Do you save when you pit? I do, and I though that it may have something to do with that.
I've had a fantastic time with 2017. As I've got to know the AI and their quirks, the cracks begin to show, but not sufficiently to lessen my enjoyment.
Holy fuck there's a race this weekend!!!! That snuck up on me. Their F1TV subscription thing ready yet?
I was talking more about the 3 minute music montages without commentary rumours.
I run 50% races on console. I got 5 seasons into a career and hundreds of hours before having it happen, so they possibly screwed something up in a patch. I loved 2017 but that killed it for me really.
There's a big thread about it on the Codemasters forum.
This TV graphics mock-up I found on Reddit really drives home how terrible the new font is: https://imgur.com/a/YrHMc
No, won't launch this weekend.
I doubt it. Even series like Indycar and Nascar that do post full races do it like a week or two later. F1 also has a streaming service to sell.
F1's YouTube channel did have thorough race highlights last year though.
Looking forward to another season of 4k50 action, HAM rinsing BOT, VET cracking, RAI not giving a shit, RIC getting shown up by VER, ItsAFerrari.gif, Toto sounding and looking like Mcbain, Honda excuses and McLaren failing.
Gonna be great!

I wish they would use a fixed width font for the racer abbreviations.
Also does anyone feel like the stint consistency is too much information? I kinda dislike it. It's the same when they used the new qualifying graphics in Melbourne last year, I hated them too:
So that's what Buxton was so happy about. He gets to do these segments every weekend! I want him to walk past Ted during his notebooks and exchange awkward glares.
1. Darren heath
2. Hamilton making a post on insta reminding folks about his rookie season
3. Hamilton talked about diversity in F1
