We get the SKY broadcast but on ESPN. Used to be that NBCSN covered it here, and I enjoyed their commentators, but the SKY guys are growing on me.
Any Formula 1 Fans?

Over here Sky is a subscription only channel and I just can't afford it at the moment. If I could I would get it as Sky sports put out a quality product with top commentators (whatever the sport) and great production values.
Easy: Move to the States! We also get more EPL than you do in the UK.
The internet is your friend. Since free-to-air lost the Ashes, F1 and I believe shortly the Six Nations I have found ways to watch regardless.
Yep,there are ways. It's a hassle and the quality frequently isn't good, but it can be done. I watch hockey that way on the road (Capitals).
Yeah, those sites have loaded me up with adware so I bought a cheap computer to watch the Sky F1 broadcast before ESPN got it. I still watch the before and after stuff that ESPN doesn’t carry on the computer. Ted’s Notebook is must see TV in the lax house. ?
He's never really taken fitness that seriously, he's one of those guys who's wired a little differently. Mr smooth and drives really fast. He had some nice results last year in the 24's + he's in really good physical shape going into this year. He's an unbelievably normal and nice guy.
I had loaded the F1 Calendar in my Outlook and reminders keep popping up (Spanish GP was this weekend)....sad.
Another US F1 fan here. I respect the work Mercedes, Ferrari, and Red Bull have done to achieve excellence, but it would be nice to see some parity come in to the sport and get the midfield teams a little closer to the front. I hope the 2021 regs truly are a move in that direction.
More parity, yes, and perhaps a touch of overtaking. Hell, you could insist Hamilton relinquish the lead a couple of times each race and see what he can do.
Most definitely. I’m a pretty die-hard Ferrari fan, but I like some other teams and drivers as well. I’d love to see our sole American team do better, and I definitely have a hard time seeing Williams struggling like it has. I’d like Frank Williams to see another winning season. I’m not sure things will get better until either hybrid technology is removed from the formula or it becomes commonplace enough that it isn’t an engineering nightmare. I love the engineering aspect of F1, but I also want to see some wheel-to-wheel racing, dammit. ?
For a start I'd like to see them bin the hybrid engines then go back to stick shift rather than paddles and also get rid of the steering wheels looking like something NASA invented, strip it all back a bit. This situation where the engineer is feeding the driver info on the fly during a race should go as well, and maybe look at a way of making the cars not so aerodynamically efficient so as to aid overtaking.
Oh and I'd bring back the grid girls also?.
I agree. I would love to see Haas improve and be more consistent. I'm not sure what the final verdict was on their crappy 2019 season (disregarding the pit stop fiascos). It would be nice to see another North American team enter.
Williams needs a hard reboot.
I really enjoy IndyCar for fast-paced wheel-to-wheel racing from start to finish. Even a mid-level team has a chance in IndyCar. Quite a few former F1 drivers in the field.
Yeah, there are a handful of former F1 drivers. Frankly I thought it was a dumbass move for Haas to not give Alexander Rossi a drive. Gutierrez washed out, and Rossi went on to be a very competitive driver in Indycar. I’m frankly not a big fan of Grosjean either.
