Where do you watch these F1 races? They're never broadcast on a major network.

yup nbc sports network bought the rights after speed decided to imploded itself and turn into fox sports one.

most of the races are on the otherside of the world so they are happening at random hours of the early morning here. nbc sports is cool because they are airing everything live and doing mid-day re-runs.

best thing to do is schedule the dvr.

NBC Sports Network, but this weekend's race at Monaco will be on NBC proper.

6:30 prerace, 7am start i think

Anyone know if the teams build a short car for Monaco still. I know years ago the they built short wheelbase cars because of the hairpin and tight track.

I wish Weber would get his starts togeather this season, his last I feel. Kimi will go to Red Bull with Vettel. But that might be like 2 rooster's in the hen house. ie Senna and Prost.

I hate the tire issues but it makes for a good race.

No short cars; pretty sure the regs would forbid that these days as well.

i think the chassis is the same but most years the front and rear wings are unique to monaco and not used again all year because it is so different. i know the steering rack is different to for the full lock ratio thanks to the hairpin.

I feel bad for the guy at the very back that got stopped in time but subsequently stalled, haha.

I'll try and get a few quick pictures of qualifying in a few minutes and post them a little later. It's rediculous.

Nothin'?

Sergio fucking Perez deserves to be Cecotto'd. I had been liking how he was driving this year, but today was completely out of hand. If the rest of the field hadn't be driving exclusively to protect him from himself, he would have been out by lap 20. Really unfortunate for Kimi (and Alonso, as much as it pains me to say), and for the rest of the world that's sick of watching Vettle finger the air as a World Champion.
