unfortunately this means the odds of getting the sky broadcast commercial free via an over-the-top internet only subscription is zero

 

I'm sure you'll be able to get it via the Hooli app

 

shut up and take my money, Chase

 

With announcers that don't know you went to commercial? Pass.

(I don't know why I'm complaining. I will be watching bootleg sky streams this year just like the previous 2.)

 

Don't they do that with Indycar doe?

 

I think it actually started with Champ Car. They call it "side by side".

 

Interesting little change in rules already

 

I don't agree. I would think the OTT web subscription will take the Sky feed b4 ESPN crams in their commercials. I would hope Liberty is smart enough to know this. I could see them maybe having a base package costing a mere pittance that has commercials, but for any serious package they won't get any interest if they charge more than a couple bucks a month and still have commercials.

 

new driver weight rules for 2019

 

Interesting info.

 

Toto Wolf lol

 

The engine reg changes are by far the most interesting to me. The banning of EGR, the limit on IAT, and the wording changes for some of the internal components suggest either tomfoolery was going on or was about too and the FIA wanted to protect the teams from themselves.

Oh and the change to 5.10.5 (concerning storing or recycling fuel) is particularly interesting.

 

Wow didn't see those changes

Wonder if Mercedes will have to abide by the oil consumption rules

 

I snagged this from F1T (pink are the changes for 2018)



Before 2018 the regs explicitly allowed EGR now its banned.

 

Those standard got tough!!

 

I also wonder if there was something to the FIA expanding upon the wording for the injectors. Does this mean some other type of injector is allowed? Water is ruled out by 5.14.2...

STR/Honda First start up.

 

of course the OTT would be commercial free. the problem with just sending sky'd feed OTT is you just put dollar amount on the value of commercials. that's a no-no in media that lives on advertising. the wording of the original PR leaves me skeptical of whether or not the ESPN/ABC deal was for exclusive broadcast rights or not. i'm not sure why ESPN would pay to pick up coverage only to lose eyeballs to FOM's own service.

we're 35 days out from the first race weekend and there's been zero news of an OTT offering. i'm not optimistic. and if you think i'm going to pay for ESPN so i can watch ads you can insert a derogatory idiom here.

 

 

I want to give F1 my money to watch the races commercial free, and to increase their revenues so that **** Christian Silt (who runs Formula Money) can STFU. Now that his sugar daddy is out (bernie), he's all salty.

 

 

The new 2018 F2 cars were shaken down today.
