I'm looking forward to the turbo V4's.
Don't look at me angry, V10 was the best but the V4 would better reflect the times we live in and the current state of Europe. Days of glory long past. It's up to Asia to pick up the slack.

>halo became real
Fuck me. Just fuck me. I don't think I can do this season. I don't thnik I've ever seen such a simple thing so completely fuck up the profile of something. It's like a crane mount or something that they forgot to take off the car. Regardless of what angle you look at it from it just protrudes outward unnaturally and fucks up whatever good lines were left on the modern cars. Bonus points for making the driver even harder to see. I hated what little human connection you could still manage to get by at least having their little heads bobbing around.

so "F1 TV"
liberty is saying they are going to aggressively block VPN. this means for the forseeable future the usual pirate streams will 100% be around thanks to the paid service being unavailable in the UK. also those of us who like to shitpost or do anything else during the races would be looking at needing a second dmz'd device to go bare IP for the service, or play whack-a-mole hopping VPN exits in the middle of a race.
moreover there are no further technical details other than the desktop service is due to launch first. they seem to be consulting the big players in the paid streaming space which would imply it will be some utter bullshit that only runs on the latest version of chrome in an open page with 30+ externally loaded tracking javascripts.
suggestions are the commentary will also be geo-locked, so for example if you were in the USA you couldn't listen to the races in canal+ french.
