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

If I am being fair I watched the Sky F1 diagnosistic screen. and it really didnt show he did anything wrong. Had he braked he would have locked up....and unlike Austria he was turning the steering wheel well to the right. I am being magnanimous as lewis won...So he can take my grudging opinion and think himself lucky....

It's not that he turned the wheel.........if he hadn't he'd have gone straight on..........it's when he turned the wheel.

When they showed the in-car shot he turned the wheel extremely late into the corner either that was deliberate or he was under heavy braking therefore unable to turn the wheel.......he would not necessarily have to lock up.

He had to turn the wheel "well to the right" because he was so deep into the corner.

Exactly that ^^^

Rosberg made no attempt to turn the wheel until he was sure Ves was well off the track - slam dunk for the stewards

Oh well that  was my one and only magnanimous comment about Rosberg. If honest I was also led by the commentators....so I have no problem retracting....He lost that  race with his c*ck up at the start.....and I have no problem with that at all.......We all know who the best driver is....

We're not privy to the Mercedes telemetry so we're only guessing but all the video shown so far points to a deliberate move.

In fairness I have just this minute watched it on the Ch4 highlight show....in slow motion from a different camera angle....and yeah.....dirty cheat....

And that's why NR was penalised
