Diffey's Nascar style shouting is extremely annoying to me. He'd be a good radio announcer, but that's about it IMO.

Had to go to DirectTV to get NBCSN, but I'm ready to go.
Can't wait! Have a good one, Mike |

A good and interesting race!
And I had to laugh when Diffey said that next weekend, because he will be announcing the IndyCar race, the substitute for him on the F1 broadcast will be... Bob Varsha!! :rofl: Excellent!! Z// |

That is interesting! Varsha has been doing the Continental and Grand AM broadcasts - which are the ones Diffey always did. Contract requirement for Varsha?
So I've got $20 that says Varsha "replaces" Diffey next year (if not sooner since Speed is now supposed to be ending in August.) The fact that Varsha is substituting for Diffey on the F1 broadcast and not on the IndyCar broadcast is telling since clearly F1 prioritizes over IndyCar. I wonder if Speed is going to do their round-the-clock Le Mans coverage one last time in June. I'll be sorry to see that go away. :( Z// |
F1 in Malaysia this weekend. :rock:
Varsha is back. :rock: :rock: Kimi is looking good. :rock: :rock: :rock: |

Kimi is looking good. I'd love to see Massa take this one ("Massa is faster than you." :lol:) Z// |

Not sure where you got that idea. Last night's race was shown live. Next week's race in Malaysia is scheduled for 4 PM local Malaysia time which is 4:00 AM Eastern which is exactly what NBCSportsNet shows as the time for their race coverage.
Here's NBC's schedule: http://scores.nbcsports.msnbc.com/ra...p?series=FORM1 And here's where you can get the actual local (race track) times and covert them to your local time: http://www.formula1.com/default.html See the list of races? Click on one and on the race's page - on the right - are the times and the "convert to my local time" button. Use that to compare with what NBC is telling you. Z// Good to hear Varsha's voice. Not that Diffie's bad, he isn't. Nice 'pit stop' by LH in the McLaren pit :D |

Getting broadcast times from NBCs site is dang near impossible.

Nice 'pit stop' by LH in the McLaren pit :D It's pretty easy to go back on autopilot when you are under stress, and when you are familiar with a certain pit team...you can make a mistake like that. More telling was Hamilton came in 3rd...and could have placed higher if the team had not told him to cruise home to save fuel. Mercedes is on the rise...and those who questioned Hamilton's decision to leave McLaren are left with egg on their faces. The 2014 engine rules I'm sure had a lot to do with Lewis jumping to Mercedes, as McLaren is no longer a works team for Mercedes. They (McLaren) don't get the first line engines anymore...and are not privy to development and engineering data from Mercedes anymore, something you really need when developing a new car for a completely new engine spec. Some interesting inter team rivalries going on this weekend...wonder how that's going to play out over the season? |

like Lewis said post-race...Button did the same thing as well when he came to McLaren.

Some interesting inter team rivalries going on this weekend...wonder how that's going to play out over the season? It was very interesting to see inter team rivalries. I have been somewhat surprised to see Red Bull keep Webber. I am most interested to see what happens with Vettel, how the team chemistry evolves and if he starts looking for another ride. Wouldn't surprised me to see him jump to McLaren or Ferrari. |

Works teams tend to do better after an engine rules change. Rumors are swirling McLaren may become Honda's defaco works team, a combination that has worked great in the past.

If Vettel jumps from Red Bull and Adrian Newey he is clearly, certifiably, crazy...he'll not find a better position than where he currently is. I would say that Webber is the one more likely to go elsewhere...team owner Dietrich Mateschitz practically worships Sebastian and gives him nearly anything he wants. Why would you go anywhere else when you have an owner who thinks you're an F1 god and have the best aero man in the business designing your cars?
Btw, Nigel Mansell won his only championship (1992) with a car that could almost literally kick the ass of the competition without a driver in it at all - the Williams FW14 - another Adrian Newey car, btw. :lol: Hamilton finally grew into an adult and realized that he had to leave the nest and do one on his own. That will happen with Vettel, too. He has too much brain to just stay in one place forever. He'd go batty. Z// |
