Does anyone (including whoever thought it was a "good idea") have any clue WTF that supposed Enhanced Audio and speaker symbol was all about??

For every improvement Liberty / FOM / FIA make, they embody and equally dumb / pointless piece of gimmickry.
I think they are trying lots of things which is good. They can always revert back.. at least it is evolving...

Genuinely don't have a problem with that - have a problem with the apparently random "throw enough stuff at it and hope something sticks" approach, which smacks of desperation and poor planning.

Perhaps they do, but your criticism towards me is unfounded. I was just pointing out that it looked nothing like Hamilton but looked exactly like a generic stereotypical black guy.

Good to do offline, with a sample audience, or for P1 perhaps. It's mostly WWF-esque frippery, I'm sure the kids love it.

What, in practice, is the difference between FP1 and FP3? Casual fans aren’t watching.

Ben Edwards was taking the ‘enhanced audio’ as his cue to shut up for a bit which is refreshing and it also sounded as though they turned the trackside microphones up for a while and both of those things are fine by me.

Genuine chance of Q3 for Williams?

ETA: Well for Stroll at least...

I do find it odd that people worry that fans/customers are literally dying of old age but then make a disparaging remark about the kids loving something. Whatever they do it's still better than the ropey old ste of the 1980s.
It looks a bit fakey to me - but then I don't like wonky ads painted on rugby pitches. Makes my eyes go funny.

Have you heard Kubica's Canada crash with the trackside mics turned up? It sounds like a bomb going off. It really does change your perspective of the violence of a crash.
Link to a clip? Think I remember that it was brutal

None of these look anything like anyone, you deeply closeted racist.

No you were trying to make it out that it was a racist piece of art.

Do any of the drivers look like they do in that so called artwork?

It's just trying to make something out of nothing.

Mr Chandhok is full of great information.

As it has been mentioned on here before his knowledge is of a super fan as well as a ex F1 driver.

Refreshing.

Jackie Stewart interview next which will be worth the watch.

Shocking accident.

The sound on this clip sounds fake or enhanced but in a bad way.

Although it will be a reiteration of everything he's ever said - ever.

I'm actually in the official Jackie Stewart bio DVD (although I am in the background and slightly out of focus).

It certainly was, but I enjoyed Bob's response after the event:

Interviewer: Have you seen the crash?

Kubica: Seen it? I was there!

Silverstone - Coys Festival 2000. They were filming with Jackie, Ken Tyrrell, Derek Gardner and a Tyrrell F1 car.

I'm afraid that where Jackie Stewart is concerned I just turn off, I appreciate everything that he has achieved in his life but I just cannot stand the man.

I can be repetitive but he is part of a disappearing generation of drivers and soon none of them will be left. Listen to him while you can.
