    Channel 4 and ITV aren't even part of your license either mate, due to their advertisement. Just paying for the BBC and it's a shambles.

    David Coulthard has been announced as the first of Channel 4's new F1 broadcasting team.

    I'd be surprised if they don't go for Eddie Jordan as well.

    Channel 4's live races this year:

    Bahrain
    Spain
    Europe (Azerbaijan)
    Britain
    Hungary
    Belgium
    Italy
    Malaysia
    Mexico
    Abu Dhabi

    No Monaco or the season opener in Australia, I'm assuming Sky said no to these.

    New qualifying needs tinkering it seems, teams are struggling hugely to get their drivers back out after they have done their first run in each session which is causing a lot of people to be timed out

    Some amount of money, you wonder why too as it's not really that popular is it? might only be in Scotland though but I probably havent really watched it since I was under 16 year old and dont recall anyone ever talking about it either.

    Is there certain countries where it's more popular?

    Qualifying was a joke but I really enjoyed that race. The C4 coverage was excellent too.

    Shame Ferrari * it up tactically, would have liked to see Mercedes taken down a peg.

    The Alonso crash was scary as *. Insane that he walked away unhurt.

    Managed to get up in time for my first GP of the season.
    Hamilton goes from 4th to 15th and sitting 11th half way through the race.
    Great success.

    Love the sport, but find these past few years I like too many drivers, rosberg, vettel, Kimi. That actually cheering on Hamilton's failure is just as rewarding now.

    They need to put a jobby break in this sport though. Morning hangover dump is needed, 19 laps to wait...

    For those not wanting to know result, look away now...






























    Vettel just tore kvyat a new one at end of race about driving etiquette.
    Rosberg just stands with a small grin "fight amongst yourselves boys"

    Huge cheers in Spain as Hamilton and Rosberg take each other out on the first lap.

    Huge win for Max Verstappen as he becomes the youngest Grand Prix winner ever at 18. The previous record holder was a comparatively OAP-esque 21-year-old Vettel.

    Just finished watching it, great win for Verstappen but what the * was Rosberg thinking, absolutely reckless driving.
