Watching the BBC stream and they're discussing the Driver of the Year.
Suzie: Who do you think is the driver of the year?
Christian Horner: Pastor Maldonado...  : :
Suzie: He had some pretty nice saves this year
Christian Horner: He had some pretty nice crashes too :
Fucking LOL Christian Horner is on fire

I have to admit, after many many many years of watching F1 religiously, I think the sport has finally lost my attention and me as a fan. I constantly forgot races were happening and never set my PVR to record them. Up until last season (and for the past 10 seasons approx) I'd set my PVR religiously and never missed a minute. The races I did watch this year, I fast forwarded through 1/3 of them on average.
This sport is broken. It is uncompetitive and boring to watch. Unfortunately the freeze on engine development has done more harm than good. Honestly, the only thing I enjoyed this season was the occasional Q3 qualifying (Lewis v Nico) and i'll give thanks to whomever came up with the idea of putting back the sparks coming off the baseboards.
I managed to watch years of Schumacher domination. I barely survived Vettel's time dominating everyone. 2014 was interesting because of the new engines. But 2015 I think has been the most disappointing for me.

But 2015 I think has been the most disappointing for me. | My sentiments exactly. Same here, I started forgetting about races, and stopped really paying attention after Singapore. It doesn't help when TSN fucks viewers over and puts the races or quali on TSN2, which I refuse to pay extra for.
2012 was the last exciting season to watch for good competition among all the teams. Remember 7 different winners in 7 races?
I never understood the thought behind introducing a radical new engine package, and then placing a development freeze on it. It's like if a builder didn't knock it out of the park on the first try, they would have a hell of a time ever catching up. The "development tokens" are insufficient, there were so many races where the announcers were hyping up "Ferrari's new BIG engine development, More power!" and then seeing any actual track improvement.
They should have had a couple seasons of completely open development to allow builders to level the field and then froze it up.
I don't want to see "Tire Management", I don't want to see "Fuel Management".
I want to see drivers, driving the cars as hard as they can, throughout the whole race.

I was with Telus and I had TSN1-4, so I could pretty much PVR everything. If the Telus program guide was wrong, I'd torrent it lol
However, I just changed to Shaw(cheaper) and the package I have doesn't include TSN2-4 and only TSN. I just looked around and was able to find a pretty good live stream and just watched it live. So I'll just do that from now on or torrent it a couple hours after. Quote:

If the pecking order is still Merc with a 0.5-1sec lead over Ferrari and/or if McLaren isn't near the top, I think I'm gonna pull a Alonso and take a sabbatical from F1 : :

I think its massively disappointing to watch where the sport is headed. Personally I feel this is the strongest group of drivers to ever race at one time and we watch them drive slowly.
Then the new rules come out with more aero and the tires aren't changing. I'll keep watching because I love racing and the caliber of driver is unmatched.. but it is frustrating.

I've posted the one i use before, but we're not allowed to make them a direct link, because google, so you'll have to discern it from this message here: only VIP users will be able to skip their set top BOX aka .TV to stream sports instead (one word btw)
and if you don't get it, just google the bold characters :P
