Alex Wurz was actually the first name that came to my mind as I was writing that post :pImDyingYouIdiot said:The whole governing structure of F1 needs an revamp. I doubt it would be enough to just replace Bernie. Pretty much all the people responsible, and especially the right holders, are stuck in the middle ages.
Also, who would fit the bill to replace Bernie? Alex Wurz possibly? He knows the sport, is genuinely interested in improving it, and he's young. The sport certainly needs some young blood. -

Agreed, the F1 race just goes away so fast.. But that's why we have the 24-hour Le Mans race ;)RevolvingPrawn said:
Lol, I'm one of those people who can watch 6 hours of BTCC coverage or 6 hours of a WEC race and feel like I need more motorsport at the end ;)MBKF1 said:Without a doubt mate, considering the races are 3x longer, the racing is so much more entertaining. The only problem is it will never become popular with the casual viewer as they just don't want to watch 6 hours of racing. To be honest, neither do I. I usually just watch hour long highlights, I never watch the full 6 hours. -
I think what we need is Bernie to pop his clogs, and then one of the former drivers take his place, rather than some business man only looking to make money. -

Bugger. Has that happened already or happening in the future? I know they're showing the Silverstone 6 hours from start to finish live but no idea about the races after.fIsince08 said:
Can't, Motors TV has lost the rights to that.RevolvingPrawn said:Maybe once this deal kicks in we all switch over to WEC? Racing's better anyway so...
Edit: My bad, it isn't on Motors TV after all. Damn article was a year old lol. Looks like BT Sport have it so there's another motorsport I'll have to use an online stream for. -
Maybe once this deal kicks in we all switch over to WEC? Racing's better anyway so... -
fIsince08 said:Mark my words, this could end Formula 1 altogether. Sky's viewing figures have declined 30% year on year and Channel4's figures are nowhere near BBC's, which weren't exactly brilliant either. Bernie Ecclestone continues to fail to acknowledge that a fan base - and more importantly a young fan base - is necessary if the sport is to survive.
Failing to put live F1 on FTA TV will only cause the rapid decline in viewers to continue - if not make the problem worse. We could end up with an entire generation of people failing to get into F1 and essentially bring the sport to its knees. Less viewers = less sponsors wanting to join. Less sponsors = less money for the already struggling teams. Less money = less teams. Less teams = no F1.
Just look at how the BTCC has blossomed since moving from BBC's highlights. It's now had one new manufacturer join in each of the last two seasons, signed a contract for live FTA through to 2024 and has a full 32 car grid.

Bernie's piles of money are blocking the view.VetteIfan said:We're not even a week in to the new season, and between the qualifying rules and the loss of free to air TV, off track topics are already dominating the sport's headlines. Can the bigwigs in F1 not see that this is one of the simplest problems that need fixing? Focus needs to be on competition. -
So basically F1 will be ditching a large number of casual fans who can't afford Sky. I honestly can't see any upside to that deal...
At least we have online streams of the channel we need, because with F1 leaving free to air TV that'll be the only way I watch from 2019. -
Happy birthday @Lukedfrt! -
The graphics are a major improvement over the old ones.
Shall we hand Lorenzo the championship now? After his performance tonight I can't see anybody beating him overall this season. -
Haas F1 documentary in the link below if anybody is trying to kill time before FP1! Other than the American narrator, seems pretty decent :)

@fIsince08 How can you not like him? :( He's so down to earth it's awesome :p
@MBKF1 Nah it's not essential watching before the F1 starts, but if you plan on staying up for practice then it's a great show for killing an hour. Shows to the average person just how powerful an F1 car really is, and reminds even long term F1 fans just how awesome the cars we love are :) -
Anybody watching Channel 4? Speed with Guy Martin F1 special is on, he's taking his Tyco BMW up against DC in a Red Bull F1 car. -
Red Bull and Aston Martin are teaming up. It's mainly Red Bull lending Aston Adrian Newey to create a new car, but Red Bull will be running Aston Martin logo's on the car.

2014 for me, the handling was more fun. It was fairly planted most of the time but CM actually managed to get the kicks of oversteer from the extra torque in there pretty damn well. Also there's so many mods for 14 which make it awesome, I ended up running it with around 30 mods and utterly loved it.
It's very much a copy/paste of 13 on most things, but the handling is way more fun to me. Also the AI are harder in 14, legend was about half a second slower than me, while legend on 13 were 2 seconds slower than me.
What's your PC specs btw? I won't recommend 2015 even if your PC could run it :p The racing on it is very good, the AI are so massively improved it's great. But the game is broken in many ways too. -
I think you can tell that advert is made by people who have no idea about F1 or it's fans. Super cringey!ImDyingYouIdiot said:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fg1kj0E93JA
This just in: Bernie's new cost-cutting idea sees F1 teams delivering their cars via surfboards.
As for the livery, they've basically gone from all black, to all yellow. Boring as hell, there's no creativity in it whatsoever. -

Everything you just posted is FROM WEEKS AGO you complete and utter idiot. And the stuff that isn't is replying TO YOU after YOU POSTED STUFF ABOUT THE BLOODY GAME. And I don't see how any of that isn't just stuff someone excited about a game and talking to their friend about it?Hughesy said:
Did you do any of the missions? Honestly dude, the first hour or so I spent on it I was just confused by the whole thing, but after putting 9 hours into it there's so many cool things, so many awesome little detailsRevolvingPrawn said:
This is the face I'm pulling at you right now... How was it a joke if it wasn't funny?Mexicola said:
To be fair, I did. :|RevolvingPrawn said:I'm not entirely sure how anybody could see what you said as a joke?
plz dont fite guis xox
Maybe it's from last week where you posted bullshit articles about The Division and in the same post said I was forcing my opinion on others? After clearly stating the game didn't interest you, you still had to get a shot off at it right? I don't understand why you were hating on it, if it doesn't interest you then it doesn't make sense. As for saying that I was forcing my opinion on others, I hadn't even posted in The Game Thread about the bloody game until you posted links with misleading information in them. Yes I'd PM'd with you about it, but the last time I mentioned it was 2 weeks before. How does that count as forcing my opinion on others?Hughesy said:At least someone did lol.
I still enjoy the racing to some extent, I'm just not a fan of the series overall and don't follow it closely. Really not sure what I've done to piss you off, last week we were close friends, now you just jump down my throat at every opportunity, nice one...
It is essentially Destiny but with a lot of added little things heh. There was moments every now and then where we were playing, and both of us would just be like "This game is **** awesome" lol.
Just give it more time dude, doesn't seem great to start with, but it does get better and better. And it's a lot more fun when you aren't playing alone!
Lame dude
I really think you shoulda given it more of a chance and played with us, it's a much better game than I was expecting it to be.I'm gutted you don't like it man lol, been playing it again with Martin tonight, we're both massively looking forward to the main game release
We've been playing mostly in a part called the Dark Zone with other players, last night sucked because so many people were dicks and shot us for no reason. Tonight's been awesome, we hooked up with a group of about 7 other players and just went up against AI, no one backstabbed anyone else and we were all healing and reviving each other
When we did run up against rogue players (it marks them red for killing other players) we had a shootout, then their rogue status timed out and made them normal players again, but made us rogue because we were still shooting lol. So we bailed, they chased, after a short while our rogue status timed out and they stopped shooting, did the salute emote at us and ran off lol. It was cool!
And I still think you're missing out
The beta was excellent, I'm massively looking forward to getting home and loading it up
No need to keep attacking the game just because you thought it was boring dude, to me it's awesome.
Thing is though, I consider add on packs with in-game skins and clothing as DLC, not microtransactions. A microtransaction to me is something you can pay for so you don't have to wait for something in game and can progress quicker, The Division doesn't have that.
Also, the server issues, GTA Online had much much bigger server problems when it was launched, yet you love GTA Online just as much as I do
Another thing about the map and DLC, Destiny did the exact same thing but you enjoyed that game
And you barely scratched the surface when you played the beta, you never even tried out the Dark Zone which is easily one of the most fun things about The Division! If you'd stayed on it, played some with Martin and I and still didn't like it then fair enough. But I just don't think you gave it enough of a chance, and you were already calling it boring before trying it so you were pretty much predisposed to not like it unfortunately bud.
But just because you don't like it, doesn't mean others will feel the same way, I loved the beta, and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna feel the same way about the full game.
----------------------
Nowhere did I said others won't enjoy the game, I said "I" found it boring.
So all of this, none of it said I should get the game and that I'm missing out no? Even though I made my opinion clear on the subject? The only thing that's lame is you going Donald Trump bat **** crazy on me just because I don't like a game. Won't say no more on the subject or ruin this thread anymore, just has me all confused as to how you've reacted towards me.
I find it absolutely hilarious that you're getting shitty because I was talking about a game you don't like, when you did THE EXACT SAME THING with Ark. I told you I was done with it, yet had to suffer through weeks of you still blabbering on about it telling me all the shit you got up to with your brother on the game, yet I wasn't fucking interested. Did I call you Donald Trump for going on about it and not just cutting it the fuck out? No I did not. You're being a complete hypocrite.
The funny thing is, this isn't even about a fucking game and you can't see that. It's about the fact you've s aid I'm forcing my opinion on others, but to do that I'd have actually had to go on to others about how great the game is. I didn't. Stop badmouthing me in public posts and we can leave this. Real classy too btw, posting PM's, just the kind of thing you expect a friend to do right?
You know it's funny right, you're quoting all that stuff from PM's yet you neglected to include the date on any of that. It was a conversation that took place from Feb 20th, to Feb 21st. I never mentioned the game to you again in PM's. If I was forcing my opinion on you I'd have carried on talking about it BUT I DID NOT.
So maybe stop bullshitting about me yea? -
If there was a button that said 'dick', you'd have a number 1 next to it right now ;)Mexicola said:

I'm not entirely sure how anybody could see what you said as a joke? You've told me in the past you have no interest in Formula E, that electric cars have nothing to do with the future of the auto industry, and that you'd never drive one. How else would I see it when you say Formula E must have poor viewing figures?Hughesy said:Dude what the fuck is wrong with you?
I watched the race on BT and enjoyed it, just found ITV showing snooker over Formula E a strange one so made a joke, but as usual you can't see that. Really not sure what's got into you over this past week, everything I say you jump down my throat for no reason at all.... -
Wanna stop being a troll and bashing things you don't like because you prejudged them?Some viewing figures for you.http://www.fiaformulae.com/en/news/2015/june/formula-e-finale-draws-12m-on-itv.aspxhttp://cleantechnica.com/2015/11/14/formula-e-surpasses-formula-1-in-viewership-say-what/http://thejudge13.com/2015/06/30/formula-e-decider-draws-more-live-viewers-in-uk-than-f1/ -
