Formula1 2016

[Cleoriff]

Channel 4 has taken over the terrestrial viewing for Formula 1 after BBC opted out of the contract.

I love F1 and am a bit dubious as to how successful this will be. However they have stated there will be no adverts during race time (thank god)

Yesterday they officially revealed the presenting team......

David Coulthard, Mark Webber, Alain Prost, Alex Zanardi, Susie Wolff, Karun Chandhok, Eddie Jordan and Bruno Senna; alongside seasoned live presenters and journalists Steve Jones, Ben Edwards and Lee McKenzie.

It also says Guy Martin will be making appearances

I echo that sentiment @jonsie. All we need now is for Lewis to come last and Andy Murray to be knocked out in the first round...

How much worse do you rekon it could get?

[Cleoriff]

Well a lot of sport interest this week....I may become Welsh...I am sure I have some ancestors somewhere...Or Scottish...and will Andy Murray to win....and pray that Lewis knows about the controls on his car...

Even worse..no damn sun!!

Main sport here is Fleece a Felang and you participate whether you want to or not. Great fun....

I'm amazed that got past the Word Police !!

[jonsie]

It should be Ferang but there is no 'r' in the Thai a language as they can't pronounce it. Change any word to include L and it can be so funny....I'm happy to say that I'm looked on here as a Sir...They also can't pronounce ST....comes out as SirTeve. ...

Stress not started yet. Withdrawal symptoms will disappear at 8.45am tomorrow when P1 starts....Not sure what will happen after qualifying on Saturday though...

He needs to hope he qualifies high up the grid then or else it could be another start from the back row!
