BTW since Graham is supposedly not qualified to drive an F1 car he should be posting in here with our expert panel. We could use the new blood.

I haven't seen any STR halo pics but the article on Racer says the STR's halo looks "slightly more F1".

Moar streaming news

https://f1broadcasting.co/2018/01/21...-moves-closer/
Despite no official announcement, yet, Formula 1’s over-the-top service continues to move forward in the background. Former GP2 commentator and NBC pit lane reporter Will Buxton is all but confirmed, alongside a line-up that may feature James Allen, Johnny Herbert, and Rosanna Tennant.

One early left-field rumour was that Allen and Herbert would form the commentary team, but recent suggestions indicate that FOM will take the Sky Sports F1 commentary, made up of David Croft and Martin Brundle.

A survey distributed by Hall & Partners on behalf of Formula 1 last weekend suggested that only five countries will have access to the live over-the-top service at launch. They are USA, Mexico, Germany, France, and the Netherlands. You can add Spain and the rest of Latin America to that list based on more recent rights announcements.

Allen would prob be limited pre and post race bullshit. What matters is it wood be Crofty and Brundle doing the commentary.

Indy Car really has been using the same wheel design for a long time. They really need to update the look, especially since the newer cars actually look decent.

Do the asymmetrical nature of the trees/shrubs along the driveway bother you?
