Yes, It's something Liberty decided to do along with the 10 past the hour start time.

I saw something suggesting both were changes mainly aimed at the US audience at the request of ESPN, Don't know if thats true or not though.

I used to be a fan but the guy just needs to quit now and find another job, half the time he doesn't know why he crashes (well slow the fuck down a tad and the tail won't come round), and the other half of the time he doesn't even seem to know what track he's at.

maybe Lewis likes to play his racing sims using steering and braking aids, like a noobie (just like me)

I had hoped to get some good OnBoard laps from Kubica but he rarely popped up on any of Sky's feeds so this was the only lap I was able to get.

Massive aero means massively unsettled by wind direction, I guess.

Magnussen is such an arse, there's zero need for that stuff in Free Practice, I hope the FIA give him race bans because currently he's getting away with it

I fully agree with that.

where are the times that the Pirelli's sucked bigtime compared to Good Year, but at certain tracks or conditions where suddenly better. These kind of variables we will never see again.

If in the end all the cars are within 0.01 second of each other it will become even more a procession.

It's what happened in NASCAR. They used to have their strengths and weaknesses but they became so obsessed with making the cars all equal, the only difference ended up being just the badge. Then they added aero...

It's what BTCC does well. And why Indycar cut aero on its cars. Just look at this years IndyCar front wing compared to what the F1 teams run.

What's the significance with comparing it to a Trulli onboard from 2007?

That McLaren nose is almost as hideous as the Catherham nose of 2014....scratch that...its worse.

Also I can't fathom how KMag hasn't been turfed out. They will seriously wait for him to cause a colossal accident and then massively over react. It isn't like he weaves around like a complete retard like Maldanado...oh no, he is much much worse. He does the subtle sly extremely late relatively smallish moves that are way way more dangerous as the driver behind is already committed and practically alongside. At least the Maldanado's and De Crasharis's telegraph their weaves and are avoidable.
