Putting it on Apple is stupid. Their ratings in the US cannot possibly compete with a free channel like ESPN.

fricking Charl. It doesn't help that the usually elite Ferrari pit crew fumbled multiple times, but he should have been able to preserve a place or two at the end.

Weirdly, the Ferrari seems to have retained an edge over everyone else off the line. Hopefully, they can continue riding that and maybe they can manufacture some wins.

Technically, it isn't free, but is part of every cable/streaming package out there.

The big loss is Miami, Canada, Monaco, Austin, and Brazil not being broadcast on ABC like normal. (pretty sure LV was on ESPN due to time of race being midnight)

But as I said in my other post, ESPN is def fricking F1 by shadow banning the race results.

On our way to the airport. That was an amazing experience!

Glad to see Kimi win, but perhaps more excited to see Lewis and Max drive in person. Well done F1 and Miami

Despite me being to a dozen plus races in the last decade I have never seen Lewis win.

Have seen Kimi win which is a wild statistic.

ESPN is the most expensive channel on cable. It's definitely not free.

I like watching the Sky sports feed this year. That’s the plus


In what world is ESPN free?

The sky sports feed is the feed ESPN always aired right? With Martin Brundle and Crofty?

Damn what a shite show for Sharl. He needs to find the voodoo doll someone’s using on him.

Of course they do, in ad revenue.

I'm sure Apple got a big sub boost, though. They seem to be the only winners here.

I like the Apple layout better than the one ESPN had and I like the fact we get F1 TV as part of it.

I was very skeptical at first but it’s been good

Those are some big balls on Chuck to be pushing 300 kph on a busted-arse suspension.
