Does NowTv work the same way ?

It's the perfect time for my location. :D I'll be done in, in a few races time though.

I'm not sure what I'm hoping to see to be honest. I'd prefer none of them have made wild steps, and it's a mess with at least 6 drivers having a close shot at pole position and the win. Maybe even an Aston Martin breakthrough to have 7 in with a chance? *fingers crossed*
No chance with AM I think... This year is surely just a stop gap/info gather until next years regulation change and Newey being involved.

Aston looked dreadful in testing. Alonso is going to have a miserable year, I think. Newey is unlikely to be arriving soon enough to really change things for 2026 either; their hopes are reliant on Honda coming out a mile ahead in the engine race, and Newey delivering for 2027.

Edit Actually, I realise Newey is arriving earlier than I thought, for some reason I didn't think he was there until the last quarter of this year, but he actually started this month. With that much time he probably can exert plenty of influence on next year's car.

It's not, it's ~£36/month. There was an offer recently though.

Edit - if you sub for 6 months there's an offer for £26/month at the moment but you have to pay extra for HD (£6) or UHD (£9).


I used to use NowTV before just getting full Sky and the quality of the stream was terrible, but that was 5 years ago. Felt like I was getting 720p@30fps. Wasn't worth the money but they would give you deals fairly often if you cancelled.

I know Sky is expensive but the UHD/HDR and 50FPS coverage along with the red button is a fairly good product
 
Ooh yeah! Saturday looks overcast but dry so Quali should be a strong indicator of each team's performance. Sunday is a coin flip whether it rains or not, so could throw things in to complete disarray, especially for all the rookies.

I've not used them for years, but they keep on sending me emails like the above.
Seemed to good to pass up on this year.
 
I'll try and watch it, but I'm not sure my young son will let me. Sleeps with one eye open that kid and hears everything :cry:

Be interesting if the weather comes true for a wet race and a good test for the rookies.

Roll on the 2025 season, the winter break is forever shrinking but it still seems too long.
