The color is looking much better in natural light...
One, I cannot deal with Vettle wearing green... It seems so very very wrong.

two, what is up with Lance wearing last years Helmet?

@All,

Whilst it may be starting to look a little better in some of the new pictures it is however NOT nor will it ever be British Racing Green or even close to it. Despite the fact that Aston Martin as sponsors did indeed declare the car was going to be British Racing Green it just isn't and it's not even close IMHO. So minus several million points for that disappointment from them straight away and I like most am eager to see if Vettel still has it and can make a good job this season or as I think he is past his sell by date and it will show soon enough no where to hide this season for him now.

Marc

Human rights also. Every survey F1 sends me I throw in that they are hypocrites for having Aramco as sponsor yet have end racism on their tracks. . That’s all I will say on the matter.

But would you prefer it if they weren't hypocritical and did nothing to address racism either?

Mercedes keeps on winning double titles with Hamilton and Bottas. They're not going to rock the boat as long as they keep winning.

That is a shame. Senna-Prost dual in the same cars was the best time in F1.

It would be great to see a Max-Lewis dual in the same cars.

I can’t find anything official outside of blogs speculating that Aston Martin will either take over or share the duties (with Merc) of both safety and medical cars

I sure as hell wouldn’t want an Aston Martin coming to rescue me if I was in trouble.

Lol. My grandfather has had a '14 DB9 for (obviously) the last 7-8 years and the worst issue he had was letting the battery die and not being able to get in the car. No valet/actual key and no access to battery. Had to be towed to the dealer.
But yeah, would have been a huge issue if he were coming to save me in it...point taken.

Well it’s official. Safety and medical car duties will be split between Mercedes and Aston Martin

Thinking I’ll get the F1 package this year and saw that you can select car cams. How is that? Does it work during qualifying too?

Yes, it works for qualifying as well. I have used it before and it's okay. I use the driver tracker display far more though. The only downside to these peripheral video feeds is, it becomes the dominant video source replacing the main qualifying/race feed. It doesn't become a split/dual or window within window display. So, if you want to simultaneously watch the qualifying/race footage as well as a specific driver cam, and/or driver tracker, you will need to have multiple windows open to do so... and that has its own challenges. At least that's how 2020 was. They have been promising an overhaul for a while.

If you want to buy the F1 package, you should watch out for their early bird specials that as usually released around this time of year.

Awesome, thanks. I haven’t watched much since Senna died. TV has changed a lo since then.

I highly recommend the F1 package. The archive of seasons past is very cool.

I'm trying to figure out what I want to do in regards to watching races.
I don't have cable, but have always been able to watch the races live on the Apple TV using the NBCSN app and more recently the ESPN app.
I used my parents credentials to log in, so i was effectively bootlegging it lol.
But they (the cable company) have been making that harder to do, unsurprisingly. I have my workarounds, but I only watched a few races live last year.
I just don't have the time to watch the races live like I used to, and with all the social media it is hard to not have the race spoiled if I miss it live.
So spending $80 on F1TV sort of seems like a waste since I either want to watch it live, or not at all.

I have noticed that when watching live, my cursing and swearing to be much more beneficial than when I curse and swear watching a recorded race. YMMV.😜

Well, interesting. Not my favorite. Seems like they couldn’t decide so they put all the ideas in one.
