Anyone watch the race today? I'm happy to announce that Fox was kind enough to show the entire grand prix.

Son of a b***h!

Did you miss it?

How did you like it?

Well the nice part was that they just used the Speed Channel guys so it wasn't unbearable, and they didn't feel the need to explain things like it was the first race ever shown on TV like Fox normally does.

All and all I wasn't disappointed...plus they didn't cut away till after the trophies which was nice

I agree. It was better than normal Fox broadcasts. I still wish they would at least show the whole thing rather than having the pre and post race on Speed.

I just found the greatest Formula 1 (free) app ever! "Maxis F1 for iPad" and "Maxis Formula1 2012" for iPhone.

The iPad version has essentially everything you need to keep track of the season. It keeps driver/team and manufacturer standings, track statistics and maps, race schedule with times and a countdown clock, news releases... It is awesome!

so it took me ages to watch the hungary GP... it was about a week after the race that i watched it... then s**t got busy in my life so i haven't been able to check in here... great timing with this summer break but i'm definitely looking forward to the spa race in 2 weeks.

I have the ESPN F1 app, It sounds like it has a lot of the same functions, but I'll check that one out too.

Haha it seems like Hungary was forever ago. I'm looking forward to Spa as well, one of my favorite tracks. Where do you find the races live streamed? I'm going to be at college and won't have access to Speed channel.

 

[Billy.]

I cancelled my cable TV so I don't have Speed either

 

[anfrey]

watched the monza race last night... wow, that was a great race. a bit sad for me not being able to see romain race (i felt his penalty was a bit stiff), but a great race nonetheless. a handful of more laps and checo may have been able to push for the win.

 

[Billy.]

Not the outcome I was expecting, but I'm sure Red Bull will get their s**t back together

 

[ReedMann]

It was a great race. Unfortunately Hamilton had to win...

I also felt that Grosjean's penalty was harsh, but it seems like the FIA has been cracking down recently.

I'm also happy because my guys, Alonso and Raikkonen, are both in the top 3 of the driver's championship!

 

[anfrey]

my housemate is a RBR fan. he was devastated watching the race and seeing both his guys retire...

I'm very surprised with d'ambrosio and his driving. for being a third driver he handled the challenge of racing very well.

I've also been noticing a lot of improvement by Charles Pic. he's been doing noticeably better as the season progresses.

personally I'm happy with how the drivers championship is looking pointswise. the gaps are getting smaller and this second half of the season is looking to be very competitive. wish i had time and money to go to the COTA race...

[Billy.]

I was thinking of road tripping to the COTA grand prix, too. Sounds like it would be a blast!

 

[anfrey]

too bad it's so prohibitively expensive for me...

who's exited for Singapore this weekend!

[SGH-T989/Tapatalk]

 

[ReedMann]

Stoked! Watching live stream qualifying right now. I love that its a night race.

 

[anfrey]

can't wait to watch the race later today. I'll check back in after watching. really exited to see romain back on the track again.

I missed the race yesterday, I was testing with my race team I looked up the results though and am ready for discussion haha
