F1 - General discussion and 2017

[Fox1]

Keep going over the white line and the kerbs will chew the suspension and spit the car's into the gravel traps of no return.

Missing Decals?

Ron Dennis has only been gone a week and the standards are dropping already.

 

[ScottulusMaximus]

Bit of a mess at the end but didn't look like anyone was improving, drivers are having to push hard for time and this track is punishing them for it. Brilliant circuit!

Level heads will win the day today, expect more in the wall.

At what time do the race get underway? 14h00?

 

[Polish]

Yupp I think do, normal European times should apply

Red bull guys really do have the most fun off track.
Amazing how well a drinks company post Coca Cola / Pepsi has done.

Anyone know if there's a way to reduce video quality on AceStreams to improve overall experience? I'm sitting in Haiti and internet is not the worst but it stops every now and then. The quality looks superb but I'd rather have a below par picture and no interruptions if that's possible.

 

[caroper]

Bit rate is fixed by source but you can increase the buffer size to reduce buffering.
Press pause and let it buffer for a few minutes, that often helps.

You can also try some lower quality streams - my two favorites are:
969dbafa76bbd0ca37d73629f392c83fcf9cc295
53793f3854af450d1c62dc9c3f659e60e7b99400


and here are 2 HQ streams with many peers at the moment:

Sky Sports F1 HD - 1080p 6000kbps 8ea4f336595d7a957ff51ffe5ff5a1dc10c60000
Sky Sports F1 HD - 720p 2000kbps e42460fdf545a96abd3a73e6e4c33c7e4f87abb7

p.s.
if you have switched streams it may help to close the ace client in the system try first to flush existing peers.
You can also change your options in the system tray client, mine are:

@sabre wolf

The race is also on Sky Sports 1 if you want to try one of their streams.

^^Thanks guys, very helpful!

*Yawn. Hopefully it changes

 

[Dave]

Who else wants Lewis to get past Danny Ric just for the awkwardness it will cause on the podium?

+1

But I would prefer an DNF for Vettel and Danny Ric stays on the podium.

Oh, your idea is much better

Rain.... here we go

 

[JerryMungo]

Ah well... a bit bland there but there you go.

Only got a little exciting in the last couple of laps, one of those instantly forgotten races...
