Ferrari Mailing List: Re: F1 on Speed

[Stephen Sherman (stephensherman44]

Do the math 100/ number of races, if they do a pre and post race 20 @ 2hrs (3 hrs with pre and post) give 60 you should get qualifying in the 40 hours left.

Got an email from Autoweek that NBC Sports will Broadcast all but 4 F1 races live and NBC will broadcast 4.

There will be 100 hours of coverage that means no quailtying or practice.

Guess I will have to find it on the web.

Hey Robert,

 

Yeah, Nigel was a trick – loved his wounded bird limp! Alonso was lucky (or unlucky) depending on your perspective when the Lotus jumped on his car. Hamilton is a good driver but seems kind of a lost soul these days.  Massa – we love him and hope he continues to drive like he did in the last couple of races – hot stuff.  I used to hate Alonso because he used to take it up to Michael, and he was the only one to do so, back in the day. He’s the best driver this year on the grid by a country mile, dragging a car, that just hasn’t deserved to be there, consistently into the top points! And you are right – Webber is one cool dude – pity he has had 2 or 3 seasons of so-so starts. If he could get that right, he’d beat Vettel who is a great front runner but less so in the pack. My 2c worth.

 

Cheers,

Grahame

 

PS Where do I get one of them there red cardinal outfits?

I actually miss Nigel going and punching someone everyone and a while especially when he went after the non drivers!!!!  HA. It is still a bloodspot Alonso could have been killed 2 races ago, I think if the car that ran over him was a foot closer......I still cant believe Hamilton left

Mclaren!!!!!!!!!I am also glad to see Massa getting better, there is a whole thread on fchat about how bad he sucks. I am still 100% behind him, Alsonso I tolerate cause he can drive but still not my favorite. I wish Weber was at

Ferrari he is my idea of what a F1 driver should be, but then im getting old!   HAAAA

I’m just a lurker-f/owner who usually doesn’t enter in the fray, but I have to add that Rick has hit the nail with his assessment of the American tv viewing public, sad a tale as that might be.  WRT f1 not being sport, I would have to counter that f1 drivers are surely athletes of the first order.  Brian

Agreed, thus my comments about American brands in Europe and Asia.  No one here (defined as <0.1%) gives a s#!t about F1.  And if you looked at the stands in last weekend's race, they don't seem to care in Korea either!  I'm afaid that the Bernie-Swan-Song is about making as much money as possible in the SHORT TERM (after all, what else does he have, at his age?) and screw the future market.  Therre's certainly no consideration of the history of Formula 1.

 

And no Erik, I have no dilusions about F1 being a 'sport'.  It isn't.  Its an entertainment business.  And because it doesn't encourage drivers to hit one another on and off the track, or the bully voting a driver off the island, or involve some slutty New Jersey (pseudo-) housewife, it won't sell here.  And that's why I believe the goal is to get the American marketing money, not the Americans.

Rick:

After 15 years you haven't figured out that this is about the money and not the fans?  I've walked away from watching, if I do catch a race, I DVR it at watch it in about 15 minutes...  I don't think that it is going to be successful in TX or NJ, but Bernie will get his share.  The sport is basically arbitrary and irrelevant.  Yawn.

Hello old Friends,

With Bernie-Vision switching from SpeedTV to NBC (or NBC Sports) for 2013, I fear my following of F1 may come to a close (after 15 years of religious following).  The issue here is not anything against NBC, other than the four big networks' propensity for hate-TV (Vote the bastard off!!!, Cheat on your Wife and WWF).  The issue is that I live in south Texas, and Sunday morning TV in Texas is church.  If F1 is shown at all on the NBC affiliate, it will be delayed broadcast - unless it interferes with football.  Now if we're talking about some NBC Sports network, I probably won't get it at all as I have no sports channels on my TV service.

Forgive the rant, please.  This is just another Bernie-induced cock-up.  Bringing F1 back to America is not for Americans.  Its for the advertising of American brands in Europe and Asia.  After all, who watches F1 in America?  The FerrariLIST, FerrariCHAT and three guys who moved here from Germany.

-rick, disillusioned
