Hmmm, not sure why mine is different. Think I am still under the trial membership. Wonder if that matters.

Also realized I didnt have multiviewer capabilities.

For some reason I thought the race was 8pm central but see it’s 10pm. Could have swore I looked earlier this week and was surprised at the time.

Oh shite. I see coverage I guess starts at 8:50. Does that mean race starts at 10? Sucks.

Yeah I pointed this out earlier. The time you see on the Apple TV app is deceptive, it's the start of TV coverage. I go to the F1 site to see the actual start times. It automatically provides the time in my time zone too which is cool.

It seems my issue is because I am not part of that iLife.

Different capabilities in the apps depending on if you are using an apple device or not

I'm trying to rewatch Qualitfying on the F1 app, and the driver radios don't seem to be coming through.

Anyone else having this issue?

Yeah, that’s fricked up.

the scariest part about mercedes is that they took THIS car, fixed it in 2 hours and it was p2 in q3


It’s pretty crazy.

Aston Martin/Honda can’t design/engineer/build a car without it shaking itself apart but Merc can rebuild this total loss of a car in an hour and a half and throw it on the front row. Scary good.

The ovals kill people wanting to watch racing.



In the first 85 laps today at Phoenix they had 254 passes. How is that not racing?

IndyCar on ovals is pretty damn awesome i think. Fox sucks though and its hard for me to stay interested with commercials.

Some people believe it's not legitimate racing if there are too many passes.

Were they real passes or just because one car was at a significant disadvantage (i.e tires/fuel/aero)

I do think Liberty/F1 pushed to have F1 more like Indy with forced passes due to incompatible strategy/advantages. They believe more passes means more drama and more excitement. Just artificially disadvantage a driver/car to make it happen.

All passes on tracks are real passes, road course or oval

I disagree but I understand everyone has their interest in what style of competition they like.

I used the add to calendar feature so it always keep it correct on my phone even when I’m jumping time zones.

Oh they’re reliable, you just have to work on them every weekend. Just a LOT of preventative maintenance.
