Gandalph Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Anyone finding F1 racing about as interesting as watching grass grow these days. I'm sitting trying to watch the Hungarian Grand Prix and finding it boring, what with Mark Brundle and the other bloke that's with him blabbering on. Damn boring. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belatucadrus Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Have to disagree on that one, I thought it was the first watchable Hungarian GP as it's usually a processional bore with cars ending up in the same order they started. This one had overtaking spins and exploding cars ! I think part of the problem with the presenters is that the Beeb has long been of the view that Sportsmen make the best commentators, I disagree it's OK to have one like James Hunt to bounce off a pro like Murray but put two together and it's lacking in spark. They need somebody with enthusiasm, the gift of the gab and a vocabulary up to the task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalph Posted August 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 The only exciting bit for me was when Hamilton went in to have the intermediate tyres fitted when that shower came on. He must have thought that Button was going to do the same. Hamilton handed the race to Button with that bit of bad calculation. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn boring. :( I have to disagree as since KERS and DRS have been introduced, there is more opportunity to see overtaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton handed the race to Button with that bit of bad calculation. :(In the post-race interview, Hamilton said that he asked for slick tyres and was blaming the in-car radio saying that it was playing up !Anyway, next season we won't be able to see all of the races live only half of them (10 races out of 20) as Sky has outbid the BBC for the exclusive rights :( We can still see the other 10 races but they will be pre-recorded and we will only see the highlights./>http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/9550930.stmI'm not paying over £30 a month for Sky Sports when all I would watch was F1 as I'm not into cricket, rugby or football.

Gandalph Posted August 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 I'm with you on that one Curly, No way is Murdoch getting his hands on my wallet. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belatucadrus Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Likewise, Sky can go whistle as far as I'm concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurlyWhirly Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I went on to the Sky Sports website and chatted online with a customer rep.It's even more expensive than I thought as to transfer my broadband and phone to Sky along with Sky Sports, I would have to take out an associated TV package taking the cost to £52 a month which is almost double what I'm paying now for my broadband and phone with O2 at £27.75 a month :( As much as I like F1, I don't think it's worth an additional £25 a month and don't forget that if I subscribed, I wouldn't be watching the cricket, rugby or football matches.There should be a budget version for motorheads like me :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
