What better way to start the new F1 thread than wishing Lewis Hamilton a Happy 34th Birthday

Here's hoping for a great season and another world championship for the lad from Stevenage

Get In Lewis and hopefully

PS: New cars are revealed from February 12th. Testing starts February 18th..

Have given up trying to watch F1 as I'm not paying Sky/Comcast's rip off sports pass prices.

Hoping I can get another deal on the NowTV movie and entertainment passes come Black Friday otherwise they might be going too.

I use the free Mobdro app @Anonymous

or via the website

I have just downloaded SkyGo to my PC. (Well my grandson did it if honest)

So although I have Mobdro and Skygo on my phone...I won't bother installing Mobdro on my Windows PC. Too much of a faff as you have to install an Android emulator to get it working...and from experience it keeps buffering during races.

Bluestacks works pretty well tbh https://www.bluestacks.com/

No I don't bother on my PC, just the phones and tablet.

I find Bluestacks really slows down my laptop so I uninstalled it.

No, I used it originally and it was ok at the start but got progressively worse. I tried NOXplayer which was better for a while...

Since I have SkyGo on PC I will stick with that on the rare occasions I can't watch Sky F1 on TV...

I have Modbro on an Amazn Firestick so I can use it either on the TV or the laptop.

Now though, I have no wifi as I have cancelled Virginmedia so I have to tether both from my EE sim.

Got recommended to try livenet TV (android app).
Usually works fine, although quality sometimes leaves a little to be desired...

Must admit, of all those I've tried, I did find Mobdro the best.

Particularly when I was in Spain I had an Android WiFi box and it had more than one Sky F1channel...so if one buffered I scrolled down to the next.

Also it had Movistar sports and F1 was always shown. It didn't bother me that it was in Spanish, as I was only interested in the racing and not the commentary.

Of course Mobdro also gave you all the UK channels, via the  wifi box....something we missed in Southern Spain when Sky 'changed the satellite settings'

All those satellite dishes on apartments and villas become pretty obsolete!!

The Sports Bars got their coverage from Algeciras.

BREAKING NEWS!!

Alexander Albon will be replacing Pierre Gasly after the summer break at Spa.

Great news in my opinion......However whatever happened to " We won't be replacing Gasly this season?"

See...this is what happens when you are fed up of the summer break and are waiting for racing to re-commence at the end of August
