Formula 1 2021

Really hope Mercedes isn't far ahead, but when you look at how early they stopped development on last year's car you have to suspect that they have been sandbagging in testing and are going to pull their usual 0.6 second advantage in Q3 and 20 second lead over the next rival in the race.

As a Vettel supporter I hope Aston Martin does well, but I think the midfield teams will be very close now, especially since McLaren has Mercedes power with a world class driver and now that Renault has Alonso back to help guide their car for this year and next year.
 
Keen to see how much (if any) Mercedes have been sandbagging and how much Red Bull caught up.

Will also be nice to see how drivers like Perez, Vettel and Alonso shape up against their team mates.

Also hope Mazepin causes an actual fist-fight.

As a Williams supporter I have not made up my mind on how I feel now that they are not the last privateer anymore.
 
Same, I'm super excited to see how they perform.

My F1TV Pro access is ready ;)
Also looking into this as DSTV Now is becoming such a pain. Does it work 100% in SA or do you have to have VPNs and Spoofed IPS and be a hackerman 2.0 to get it working?
 
Been watching Drive to Survive S03 this past weekend. So amped for the new season to start. Super keen to see what Checo is going to do with the redbull although I really liked Albon.
 
Looking forward to having 3 rookies this season, I think yuki tsunoda is going to surprise alot of people.

Mick will obviously take a while to adjust as he always does but on the other hand Callum Ilott deserved a seat this year alot more then Nikita Mazepin but money gets you very far in f1

also hoping for williams to have a better year and constantly fighting for points.

It works 100% without needing a VPN. They've upgraded the stream quality as well. Much higher frame rates now. Quality is as good as I've ever seen on any 50fps/1080p stream.

If you have an Apple TV, there's any enterprising dev on Reddit that made his own F1TV app. I've been running it since the start of the preseason test and it's been streaming perfectly. You'll still need a valid subscription of course.

I'm having the opposite with DSTV Now. Works perfectly for me and i'm not even in SA, been travelling to multiple different countries over the last few years and i just use a VPN connected to SA and it works flawlessly.
 
Watched via F1TV yesterday must say enjoyed it more than DSTV. Runs very smooth. A lot more content available as well which is a bonus.
Have signed up and will use this going forward.
DSTV seemed to buffer a lot, I have a 100meg fiber and a pretty new uhd samsung tv and yeah while watching it would often buffer I then need to go out and back in then it will continue. This also happens on my cousins tv while watching the football. So its not my tv or line.
 
That’s interesting because if the roles were reversed and Lewis won this way no one would say anything. The first incident was completely unbelievable to not give Max the position. But nobody cares about that right?

Dstv app is power hungry. It does exactly what you saying on my tv and media player. BUT on my Xbox series S & X it runs silky smooth

I reckon the series S is the best bang for buck “media centre” you can buy. Buy the PDP Xbox series media remote off Amazon and it’s a golden setup. No regular smart device can compare

No lasting advantage? Are you sure we watched the same race? Both Nico and Button agreed that the decision should’ve been to let Max through.

Max deserved the win thoroughly. FIA made the decision and RedBull capitalised. Mercedes were sleeping. But yeah, everybody has an opinion. Don’t blame the driver though, blame the FIA.
 
Team lewis and Team max are too biased against each other have a civil discussion/argument with each other. I think max has earned his title the hard way this year, lewis was on fire throughout the year but at times did make a few lapses here and there that is unbecoming of his experience. So thats my opinion, attack it as you wish.
Carlos sainz is the true champion this year, going to a new team and beating Leclerc at his own is nothing short of remarkable.
Alonso to the same effect was great as always.
And finally Ricciardo... my man... eish.

P.S race control needs to be better, their miscommunication, their lack of consistency. They also need to clarify ahead of time how much they lean towards either the letter of the law or the spirit of the law, so the teams and drivers know the limit before lights out.
