It's going to take some super stars walking away for this madness to end.

I like Max but wish he would throw his helmet down, walk away and tell the world precisely why.

So since it too 10 years for the FIA to figure out that grooved tires suck, How many years do you think it will take for them to figure out no one wants to watch this hybrid debacle?

I didn't care for the grooved tires but that's easy to fix.

So it's the degree of hate that measures how long it'll be in place? No idea but you're making it sound ,Ike you won't be around to find out.

3798j Between having to listen to Apples IDIOT presenters (taped broadcasts) and the nature of the racing, not necessary the competitiveness, its a good chance I will loose interest. I didn't set my alarm for 1:30am to watch PP2 and have yet to watch it and probably won't

Wait. Are you aware you have two different choices of announcers/broadcasts on AppleTV? Either the F1tv feed or the Skytv can be chosen to watch FP's, qualifying and the race.

Only on live feeds, not tape. That is why I'm only watching live. The Apple idiots are like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.
My schedule is harsh these days working with India on our new web site. Sleep is good

You can go on Appletv right now (or later) and watch either FP1 or FP2 using either F1tv or Skytv. No need to tape.
Or am I missing your point?

This is a screenshot taken just now of Appletv listing of Skytv's broadcast of FP1 and FP2. You do have to navigate to the bottom to see the Sky stuff.

Wait until Baku, Monza, LV, Spa, Canada.

Is Tifosi ready for Ferrari to be complete a$$ at Monza?

It is weird, if you watch it live. The SkyF1 shows up as replay. I missed FP1 live, the SkyF1 FP1 is not available on AppleTV. I watched the beginning of SkyF1 FP2 late last night, it is still available to watch.

Just looked up how to do it. You have to link your Appltv to F1tv. Use F1tv app on streaming device. Choose session you want to watch and then choose "International" from drop down. It will switch over to SkyF1 broadcast. Not sure why it has to be so complicated.

No you have my point correct.

Live vs. Recorded: The Sky Sports feed is primarily available during live events; replays on Apple TV often default to the F1 TV feed.

Alternative Replays: For guaranteed Sky Sports replays, users report needing to watch through the F1 TV app directly rather than the Apple TV app.

I just spent 30 minutes of my life trying to get the Formula 1 to work and I suspect you have to have more than the Apple TV subscription but the Premium package to watch it on a PC. That's a hell no for me.
