Damn, your right, cant you tell they are father and son just by looking at them

Well done Brazil.

Pole for the sprint race.

If you think they're lookalikes you should see Nico Rosberg!

Complete with the porn star moustache and mullet?

Nice to see so many F1 names in this. Senna, Piquet, Rosberg...

I say again. They need to get the lack on on screen sector times and lap times sorted out for it to be a good package.

Flibster · 24 Sep 2005 at 15:55

Yup.

And give us some live timing...

Is it me or are you not going for the UK or where ever you are from and be more inclined to go for BRazil as it is Pique or Holland as its Jos The Boss. Ie the drivers.

TripleT · 24 Sep 2005 at 15:56

Anyone else find the coverage from sky really really poor? :confused:

Hope it improves I mean no timing, nothing!

goreblast · 24 Sep 2005 at 15:56

It makes it a mockery that the commentators are saying "what was his time?" and it pops up on our screen 20 seconds after the lap has finished and before John Watson tells us.

goreblast · 24 Sep 2005 at 15:58

Very bad. Georgie - blonde bimbo shouting all the time with stupid grin. The woman in the pitlane - the whole country is cheerin for you?????!?!?!! and the production was the worst of all.

TripleT · 24 Sep 2005 at 15:59

Hey the coverage was poor but lay off blondie

Memphis · 24 Sep 2005 at 16:02

The blond is smoking but she can't present for ****. Also means the BSB have lost Keith for tomorrow, and all he's doing here is the occasional slot interviewing the odd driver or too. The other female pitlane presenter is useless, she can go away.

Live timing as above is needed BADLY.

I'm not saying I hate this, but they need to sort out the niggles.

Flibster · 24 Sep 2005 at 16:03

They've only had 3 months to work on it - it's the first race - I'm expecting there will be changes.

Bikini for blondie would be a good start.

Looks like there's a few wrinkles with the on car cameras, the main one was the lack of timings tbh. Give me timings and I can forgive the rest..

rpstewart · 24 Sep 2005 at 16:05

To be honest the Sky presentation is no worse than ITV was in their first year with Jim Rosenthal desperately trying to turn it into a football match...

The timing issues will be the organisers though, hopefully they'll get that sorted by the next race.

Enough time for a bacon and egg buttie before the F1 comes on.

Is there nowhere online that is streaming it?

I assume you mean a tv picture? Thats never gonna happen if there is a TV deal involving money Im afraid. If you mean live timings, then that sort of thing involves lots of tech, which we might see one day.

Good thread Flib. Lets hope over time more details of timings etc become available. I can imagine it taking till next season tbh tho.

Do the Aussies really have a driver called 'Will Power'? It must be a joke, surely?
