Formula1 2016

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

Another of Bernie's plans that didn't work out

Strangely enough I saw him on an unrelated programme today, I was expecting him to keel over and die at any time

Brilliant comment from Christian Horner >>>

"The problem is it looked like he stopped and then kept going, as if he was off to Cologne, so that is probably what caught the attention of the stewards"

No need to say to whom he was referring is there ??????

No need at all....I also think because he had previous form ie Austria...they were going to look very very carefully at that.

I totally agree, of course, but it was "racing" when Verstappen did it on lap 1

With or without the penalty he would never have caught Lewis so they can do what they like among the rest of the riffraff....

Prob would have finished 2nd though and the points gap would be much less.

And more team points too
