Thanks. And then just running late to change it back again.

I'll post next week if still there.

This reminds me of the old days when Mnet didn't "turn off" open time and you could see a bit of the 8pm movie on Sundays.

They actually still do open time on satellite, lol.

Watching it on F1TV is so much better though, I like that you can switch between the Sky Sports commentary and the F1TV commentary. Crofty can have his day, but overall I have been preferring F1TVs commentary team.

the complaints in the office today about how the sky commentators were having a go at Oscar for passing lando and costing him the title fight and bla bla bla.

I dont normally comment on british bias in F1, but it sounds like it was in full swing again this weekend on Sky...

Initially when I got F1TV, also started out watching the Sky Sport stream. Then eventually got annoyed by the BritBias and switched to F1TV stream. After 2 weeks I really enjoyed and now I just don't see myself watching the Sky stream ever again.

@wingnut771 you've got both (Sky via DStv)? Agree with the preference? ^^

I find the F1TV commentary and content to be much better in terms of insights, less hyperbolic and generally better created - initially also used to switch to the Sky stream but don't even consider it nowadays

F1tv commentary is also starting to go British bias.
I am waiting for SABC to cast the F1 so we can have some local unbiased commentary like with the rugby

Same, when in ZA, I'll watch on DSTV on mute and use F1TV audio on laptop.

The one exception was yesterday, watching in a bar in Rome, Sky IT's commentary is way more entertaining, although I didn't understand much!

Syncing is difficult to maintain though, surely?

F1TV is miles better mainly because I can see what they are talking about. With Sky commentary, there are often times they are talking about something which us non-sky broadcast plebs don't get to see so we just have to use our imagination.

F1TV also has Sky commentary if you want and:

A tracker:


Data:

Driver Cams:

Yeah, a bit of a PITA during the race, but much easier during FPs and Quali, since there's a timer.

I use my phone for onboards and data and watch the race on my TV

You guys really need to check our Multiviewer for F1TV - info overload, but very cool.

Max literally told RB in 2022 to never ask him to swap places with anyone. You win or you lose. Don't expect a team mate to give you the points.

I get what you trying to say, but Max is the wrong example. Let us not forget ... "Checo is a legend" from 2021.

Even with certain sky options you can't always see everything.

F1TV FTW!

I use F1.com Live Timing to see the times and the track viewer occasionally but that is the advantage of watching on the PC with two 38" screens. No one else in the house watches F1 so they have the netflix and youtube on the TV to entertain them.
