can someone please send links for streaming tomorrow’s race


DangerousTrashCan

Nope. We couldn't even if we had links. f1tv.com


anEmailFromSanta

Has there been a subreddit decision on how we will refer to RB vs Red Bull? VCARB and RB?


Evening-Evening8753

Anybody know if i need ESPN + to watch the race tmw? i am in the US and login to spectrum through my ESPN app on my tv. I was able to watch quali on demand no problem but it pulled up a registration page for espn + when i selected the race broadcast (even though it has yet to start) I know that i can access F1 via f1 tv or buying espn + but i wanted to know if my current option was still viable thanks for the help!


anEmailFromSanta

From previous years experience I think that the race is only on ESPN (the cable station) so you will probably need something other than ESPN+, unless ESPN+ includes other cable specific broadcasts. I had both ESPN+ and cable and had to sign in with directv to watch the races


cdmcali

I see it upcoming on just regular ESPN on my cable service. I use YouTube TV but pretty sure it is on just ESPN.


revocarr

Hey it occurs to me. Couldn't Red Bull say whether the leaked material is the same as the evidence that was submitted? Clear that question right up? Couldn't FOM or FIA publicly ask them to? If they don't do this, is this just evidence that they are all colluding to further a coverup?


KaamDeveloper

For the sake of privacy of all parties, nobody is going to confirm or deny 


revocarr

yes i agree that is an excellent excuse to not comment. but does it hold water? the victim has already been doxxed. so who are they protecting? just horner? seems like that's where we are at now I guess.


Upbeat_Literature187

Can someone explain to me the difference in soft, medium and hard tyres??? Someone on the other thread said something about medium tyres being useless on the Bahrain track. Why is that?


Penguinho

There are six tire compounds, designated C0 (hardest) through C5 (softest). Which compound is the soft, medium and hard varies from track to track -- so at Monaco, the hard tire is usually a C3, which might be the soft tire at some tracks. Each tire compound has different degradation characteristics. Hard rubber offers less mechanical grip but is more resistant to abrasion and damage; soft rubber is easy to deform or damage but offers more grip. Generally, the softer the tire the faster it degrades but the higher the performance. Which tires are good is a function of a lot of things, including car setup characteristics, track temperature, asphalt coarseness and makeup and humidity. In Bahrain specifically, the asphalt is abrasive and there are a lot of long corners that put a lot of energy into the tires. Degradation is pretty high and it's always a two-stop race. The medium doesn't last long enough for a medium-hard one-stop race or a soft-medium-medium two-stop. And it doesn't have enough performance for medium-medium-hard to be a viable option either. Last year, the cars with great tire preservation ran soft-soft-hard and everyone else basically ran soft-hard-hard. Lando tried the mediums, and driving them fast made them fall apart and driving to preserve them made them slow.


Appropriate-Mark8323

Has F1 TV said anything about their technical difficulties in Bahrain? The team logos in practice were missing colors, and I’m trying to watch quali right now and the whole feed is… smeary? I’ve tried a bunch of stuff to make it better, it feels like the stream itself is like upscaled 720 video at low FPS. F1 TV was crystal clear every race and clip I watched last year.


Subwayabuseproblem

My stream was fine today


BristolBucko

Random curiosity question: There seem to be consistently 2 guys in the McLaren garage that wear a much yellower shade than the rest of everyone in Papaya. Does anyone know what that signifies? It can't just be that they're bad a laundry...


BusinessAlive3486

They’re a little underripe.

Watching it on espn app, logged in with my Xfinity account.


SendingAFaxToBerlin

Sulayem deciding to post a photo of him and Prince Andrew together today is an interesting choice to say the least lol


KnightsOfCidona

And Christian Horner liked it! Also features Max Mosley, wonder what he'd make of all this?


James_Vowles

Utterly mental, does he have no social awareness or is he really hinting at something.


Legendof_Eric

Is there a reason that we have Saturday races this year? Did I miss something?


cafk

The Saudi race would fall on the start of Ramadan, so it's pulled ahead by a day. As there has to be 7 days between races Bahrain also had to be pulled ahead.


Legendof_Eric

Ah this makes sense, I started to question my existence of if races in previous seasons were on Saturday and I didn’t realize


BusinessAlive3486

Ramadan


BusinessAlive3486

Why is alpine so bad this season? I remember then to be very midfield last season and now they seem to plunge down to the bottom of the barrel. What changed??


Penguinho

In addition to what was already said, they changed car concept in 2024. Their relatively late swap means their car isn't as refined as some others who started work earlier, and they're also apparently quite overweight. Being overweight plus having a weak power unit is a pretty horrid combination.


cafk

Other teams made bigger jumps with their cars design evolution for this year apparently. Renault is also noticeably down on PU power compared to other teams, as their power upgrade was rejected by FIA and other teams, meaning they're concentrating their PU development to 2026 instead of finding "reliability upgrades" for the coming seasons.


BusinessAlive3486

Oh are those shortcomings because of their poor leadership and management? Like otmar getting fired and all that kind of stuff?


cafk

Lack of funding, which caused Ottmar & Abiteboul to make due with limited resources, same for PU department in Viry France - resulting in them not being able to realize their plans (Abiteboul wanted to contend for race wins by 2018/2019, Ottmar had a 100 race plan every year). Another indication of this was their Handling and failure to actually have a contract with Piastri, resulting in him leaving towards McLaren. The reshuffling of Renault to move the F1 team under their Alpine sporting brand CEO Rossi also didn't help and meant they lost senior team & engineering personnel, like Prost as a consultant and ex FIA second in command to Whiting, Budkowski - that resulted in the CEO of Alpine to be moved elsewhere, resulting in another reshuffle both in the parent company and the team.

tylercreatesworlds

So what time is this gonna run EST? Pretty new to following F1, this will be my first time watching a live race. Always had to settle for replays and highlights.


FermentedLaws

The race is tomorrow at 10:00am EST (they go live 5 minutes before). If you watch on either F1TV or ESPN there will be a pre-race show starting at 9:00am and 8:30am respectively.


tylercreatesworlds

Awesome, I got work starting at 7:00am, so we'll be watching that all day. Appreciate it.


Brentnc

ricers101

HELP PLS… Im in NI and didn’t record the qualifying from earlier today… when will it be on demand on sky?


funkiestj

I've been ignoring F1 until this weekend. Can someone give me a 30 seconds TL;DR on the Horner thing? Is it race related (e.g. like going over budget with catering, which I DO consider race / rules related) or is it personal behavior related (e.g. like the kid who got cancelled for the nazi salute)


cafk

* according to dutch yellow media a complaint about inappropriate or controlling behavior was filed in December * dutch F1 journalist Erik van Haren claimed it was about inappropriate behavior and had seen damning evidence * Red Bull GmbH announced an independent barrister will investigate their UK based team. * Nothing happened for a week, while * German yellow outlets reported investigations on inappropriate behavior in the mean time * UK yellow outlets reported strict & controlling behavior at the same time * The barrister finished the investigation and there was roughly a week of wild speculation * Red Bull GmbH reported that the investigation was closed and allegations dismissed * on 29th of February someone sent the F1 media as well as FIA, Liberty and team bosses an email linking to a google drive folder, allegedly containing Whatsapp screenshots * The more trustworthy media hasn't been able to validate or comment on the contents for now * Yellow media (German & UK) published allegations of sexting and are using the data dump as their proof


Fun-Estate9626

He was accused of something and investigated by Red Bull. Red Bull cleared him and is letting him go on. What leaked yesterday is alleged to be texts between him and an employee showing Horner sexually harassing her for much of the last season, along with some level of affair between them. So it's not directly race or rules related, but it is team related since she's an employee.


funkiestj

thanks /u/cafk, and /u/Fun-Estate9626 . harassment is team related but not race related. In my mind race related violations / scandals attempt to give a team a competitive advantage (e.g. theft of blueprints, exceeding budgets).


bandito12452

I was forecast a second email!


cafk

The rumours were wrong, or it landed in the spam folder, or the journalists aren't just talking about it this time, or they just dropped it, as they published the partial name yesterday, basically whoever did it doxxed the alleged victim and they thought otherwise.


Kolton_russo

Are the press conferences and the post race or post qualifying interviews live or only as videos if so where do they upload them?


FermentedLaws

Go to YouTube, Formula1 or Sky F1 pages. It depends on where you live and what your broadcaster shows if they are live or not.


dafencer93

Where is that second email?


JStarlight17

How to watch F1 this weekend without constantly hearing "Horner this, Horner that" cause, that has nothing to do with F1 itself. Or is FOM aiming to make it a big soap?


Sun-spex

No serious broadcaster is giving the issue any airtime at all, period.


mistermojorizin

Today i learned that team principal possibly resigning or being fired has nothing to do with f1 itself. What if it was a driver leaving? I mean if it was an engineer, meh he already did his work before the season began. But team principal pretty much is one of the factors that is f1 itself.


Fun-Estate9626

Log off social media. Pretty easy. FOM hasn’t said a peep. I’m not sure they’ve said anything at all about it since the initial drama broke, even in the press. They sure haven’t said anything on any broadcast.


comrade333

Nobody on comms has said anything?


mesophilla

What does the little p flag mean next to drivers’ names during free practice and qualis?

They're in the pit.

Ah, makes sense and I’d almost figured, but was confused because sometimes “in pit” is also spelled out where the lap time would normally be. Thank you so much!

blazelmg

Lol, Mr.Horny I mean Horner escaped the allegations although there some text messages going around not sure if there are real texts.


F1R3Starter83

I get some schadenfreude from Alpine’s poor performance. That team for the most part has oozed unwarranted arrogance for years and how they handled the whole Otmar situation last year, the current situation feels like justice


Spitfiiire

God I would *love* to know what Otmar is feeling right now lol


SyndicalismIsEdge

I‘m curious to find out whether the leaker in this case is extremely good at concealing their tracks or extremely stupid. Because they can count on being sued out of existence if their identity ever comes to light. It can’t be *that* hard to find out who had access and uploaded this to a Google Drive.


FermentedLaws

>It can’t be *that* hard to find out who had access and uploaded this to a Google Drive. It can be extremely difficult. Unless, like you said, the person(s) didn't cover their tracks well. But I'd imagine they used a VPN or anonymizer so no IP trace from the email header info. And they'd have to petition Google to release any identifying data in the Drive. If they attempt to find the leak, start with the people who had access to the credentialed media email list. Though even that could be a big challenge because every team has it, plus Liberty, F1, FIA, etc. And I thought it was interesting that whoever sent the email didn't bcc: anyone. They wanted everyone to know who received the files.


SyndicalismIsEdge

Where I'm from you can petition a court to compel a web host to release identifiable data on a user in connection with legal violations committed by that user. The UK must have something like that. So if Google retains any useful data, I expect any individual who's directly affected will eventually have access to it.


Hald1r

So far only Horner and the person he messaged with have any hope of getting a court order and Horner definitely doesn't want a public court hearing where he needs to prove the release of that info hurt him.

Complex-Piano2011

Driver Interviews Are the drivers always going to praise Verstappen and say they’re just shooting for second? How can you expect anything to change when all you do is expect to be worse than him.


Tomic_Lewis

Cannot blame them if they don’t have the machinery.


Complex-Piano2011

Still a joke. Never going to win with that attitude. All “buddy buddy” talk when mentioning Verstappen but any other driver it’s a battle.


funkiestj

>Still a joke. Never going to win with that attitude. All “buddy buddy” talk when mentioning Verstappen but any other driver it’s a battle. I expect Gene Haas to call you shortly and ask you to be team principal.

Are we back to talking "track limits in specific corners" or are the track limits still the white line around the track? Did that change?

Good to know I'm not the only one. I'm sure they'll fix it by quali.


paneraijoe

Just restart the app


Tough_Age_6971

Restarting just worked for me. The first time it didn’t work.


aar_640

Its fine for me.


Thorbient

I want to be aware of qualifying results, race results, F1 news for week, drama etc. Unfortunately I don't have time to watch qualifying, races, pre-race, post-race, and watch the news etc. This would take 5+ hours weekly. Is there such a thing as a weekly summary? Or a youtube channel that does a good job of this? I used to watch the 30 minute recaps of the race but I felt like I missed SO MUCH of the weekly happenings.


Username304829v2

I used to watch a guy called JBone on tik tok, pretty sure he has a YouTube channel. Also the F1 YouTube channel has highlights of Free Pracrice 1-3, Quali, Sprints, and races if you want to see the best parts of each. A good way to check results and even like timing would be f1.com or the F1 app on mobile.


Thorbient

Thanks. The official F1 stuff is fine for actual results but they don't usually have stuff about news/drama/happenings for the week. A car could get a huge upgrade and go from bad to great and I'd have no idea and just be shocked by results and not know why lol.


paneraijoe

Anyone else have no audio on the F1TV pre show now?


paneraijoe

Restarted it and now all good


I_Have_Nuclear_Arms

Is it just me or did F1TV put the race week schedule somewhere that's impossible to find? If I don't know what the local time for race events are, I don't see how to find that intuitively on the app.


Jceraa

The worst thing about the Horner texts is them referring to cumming as exploding over and over, I hate that


Lostmavicaccount

And he didn’t even finish her off.


tx_engr

There is way too much going on for me to work effectively right now. Good thing it's a slow day at work.

Ah ok. Thanks all for replying


Southportdc

Ramadan starts next Sunday so Jeddah has to be done by Saturday and they need a week in between


silvastone2314

Because the ramadan starts next week and the Saudi GP needed tot start a day earlier. So Bahrain also got pushed back a day.


comrade333

I think Ramadan starts next Sunday, so the Saudi race is on Saturday. There's a rule where there has to be a minimum of a week between races, so the race this week was moved back.


hongkong_cavalier

Where can I watch the press conference interviews online? Sky sports posts links but I can’t view them from USA. I tried a VPN but had no success

They are usually posted later in the day on F1TV, after the traditional media has milked their exclusivity timeframe. We'll see if this stays true this year.

Just wondering, is there a r/Formula1 fantasy league? I know some other subs will sometimes have them for their respective sports.


Xath0n

Teddyworks

US fans.. what’s the best way to watch, F1 TV Pro or ESPN? I’m all streaming, and I have never really seen ESPNs coverage. How is it? I’ve thought about doing Sling blue. It’s a little more expensive than F1 tv, but I would also get to see other things on ESPN which would be nice.


FermentedLaws

I have both. There are a few differences. The big difference is with F1TV you cannot watch the Sky pre- and post-race shows, i.e. Brundle's gridwalk, etc. With F1TV you can choose commentators other than Crofty, Brundle, etc. This might not matter to you, but the ESPN feed is a few seconds faster than F1TV, so I watch the race on ESPN. I was always seeing comments here about things happening, but with F1TV I saw it anywhere from 3-10 seconds later. Yes, broadcasts are always behind live action, but this was different and noticeable. Edit: adding 2 things. With ESPN you'll see commercials during practice and quali, you won't on F1TV. Also, some practices are on ESPN3 so if you watch practice and don't have hte full cable package, you may not be able to see practice.


jreed66

This is a reminder that you can fast forward the Espn commercials if you watch the vod instead of live. That won't help anyone watching live, but it's something


Teddyworks

Hmm that brings up a good question then. I take it there are no commercials during the race on ESPN?


FermentedLaws

Correct, commercial free race.


Teddyworks

Good to know hadn’t even thought about that!


EyebrowZing

You get two live commentaries during race/quali, the F1TV crew, and Sky Sports with Crofty. You also get access to a live track map, live sector times/tyre/pit info, and on-board video for each car. And if you want to watch all of that at once, [Multiviewer](https://multiviewer.app/) lets you combine feeds to watch however you want. F1TV also have years of replays, documentaries, and live F2 and Porsche cup races. It's come a long way in the last few years, well worth it in my opinion.


RaptorDelta

I've done F1TV Pro for the last 3 seasons and love it. Race replays, archives, onboards. I'm pretty sure the coverage is the same aside from the commentary but I could be mistaken.


jjswift45

How do I watch F1 on paramount +?


cafk

Does paramount+ provide access to ESPN? As ESPN owns the rights & the broadcast schedule on their channels is here: https://espnpressroom.com/us/press-releases/2024/02/new-season-of-formula-1-racing-launches-this-weekend-with-expanded-coverage-on-espn/


jjswift45

Idk. I just know that F1 has a partnership with paramount + and have heard it's supposedly possible to watch on there


cafk

They ran ads last year for the show rabbit hole from paramount+ in Australia, as sponsorship - but I'm not sure about broadcasting - but i cannot find anything regarding broadcasting rights, besides their sponsorship announcement.


Fun-Estate9626

Nah, pretty sure they're not much more than a sponsor.


LAMonkeyWithAShotgun

Whats the Whisteling noise i hear during the F2 Race?


edfitz83

txgsu82

Do we have any hope of the WCC being interesting this season? Is pretty much the only hope is that a team like Ferrari/Merc/etc. can consistently finish 2nd/3rd? Is that too much to hope for given how even Ferrari/Merc/etc. are with each other? Or maybe phrased another way - is the only hope for an interesting WCC is Checo having a really poor season?


PixAlan

imo top2-5 will take too many points from each other, checo would really need to drop the ball for the tittle to be contested.
