So when will F1 be streamed live on the internet for free? Seems to make more sense to increase your viewing audience and then gain your revenue from advertisement.

Can't believe how entertaining the race was I thought it was going to be boring 200 times round in a circle but I was very wrong really enjoyed it

Same here - I really enjoyed it.

I'm not sure I would follow an entire season, but I would definitely watch again.

My thoughts:

1) Good to see an F1 driver mixing it up at the front
2) Genuine excitement as anyone in the top 10 in the last 10 laps could be the winner

Is it time to get F1 on some ovals? Rockingham/Lausiztring/Motegi for example.

But unlike FOM indy organisers don't jump on any stream or clip and get it shut down for copyright

Thoroughly enjoyed that. Will watch more. Along with Moto GP it makes F1 looks embarrassingly dull

Oh and those on board cameras are needed in F1 pronto.

One of the things that I love about F1 is the strategy. If the result is a lottery in the last few laps then that detracts from it.

That's not to say that I didn't enjoy this race though, because I genuinely did.

Liberty Media seem to be a lot more accommodating in that respect than Bernie was. So you never know.

I have had a lovely free and completely legal stream from ABC, still have it on.

Just interviewing Chilton.


Had it on full screen during the racing.

Would you trust Pirellis on a banked oval at 230mph for lap after lap?

Oh! The ABC stream I was on ended just after Sato got all "milky milky" in the Indycar equivalent of Parc Ferme.

Do you have a link to yours please?

Ahh, I missed that for a hooky Youtube stream that was quite good.
