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

Tyre temps....as DC has commented he's turning in to the corner much later than Rosberg. By turning in later he's increasing the temperature and hoping to get more grip

Thanks ...now I understand...

[MI5]

Car set up better on Ros's car.

Smart move by Red Bull to pit now - puts pressure on Mercedes to pit out of phase.

[Cleoriff]

Mercedes telling Lewis to speed up as he is backing Nico into Red Bulls...lol

[Cleoriff]

And then they threatened to pit Nico first if he didnt

[jonsie]

Lewis extending lead now....

[MI5]

So they should if Lewis is struggling (deliberately or otherwise).......

[MI5]

Lewis gets the first call......

2.7 seconds pit stop
