Completely forgot that the Indycar season started this weekend with the St Petersburg round; took this from Indycar twitter so ignore the "Fox" logo's its all on Sky Sports F1 as usual in the UK although Fox have taken over coverage from NBC in the USA this year.

Full schedule for the year below but the first race is on at 5PM Sky Sports F1 tomorrow!

So many teething issues with the qualifying broadcast. Missing DOG overlays, delays when they were working and I'm not sure if it's going to be like this for the season or just qualifying, but so many ad breaks and no voiceover from Tom Gaymor during them. We'll see if the race is any better. My Fav O'Ward in 23rd!!!

Just caught the highlights so haven't seen it live but I did read a fair few comments that the International Feed had been pretty problematic, hopefully will get fixed!

Ooh thanks for the heads up didn't realise it started today!

Heart sank when I saw that Thermal Club race was on the calendar again but at least it's a proper points round this year!
 
We still see no overlay on the Halo that the US feed has and they keep talking about, but we at least have the 'tree' on the left and Tom Gaymor back during the ad breaks.

Not the most exciting race, hopefully someone will push Professor Palou for the championship this year.

I think St Pete hasn't ever been amazing, it's almost one line for most of it, you really need to muscle your way past and your 'victim' needs to cooperate a little. The new 'green' tyre only lasting 10 laps didn't help. It became a strategy race.
 
Qualifying programme starts at 21:00 on Sky F1, at 21:03, they do to an advert break and we get no sound.

I really detest these feeds from American TV.
 
6 laps in and you can already tell this race is gonna be a turkey :p

Might be the 2nd McLaren 1-2 of the day though!

Edit: Whoever designed the FOX timing tower needs sacking as well. I don't need to see Hertas gurning mug on my TV for the whole race instead of showing better overview of the standings!
