Man I've not played it in ages. Really enjoyed it when it released on steam. Should go back and see what's changed since and see what mods are worth it.
How's the mobile flavour of Motorsport Manager? I feel that'd fit my play approach a bit more.
So... is there any way to make the PC version of Motorsport Manager a bit less of a clicking orgy? It seems that half the game is waiting for something to load or click to get from a loading/preview screen to a screen where I can actually do something.
Happy that Ferrari is doing well. They were doing well last year too. It was Vettels temper that cost them the championship. Hope he has matured.
OP
OP
That will likely result in a crash.
Leclerc has awesome smoothness to His driving. His driving reminds me of Alan Prost. Must be a French thing (I know he's not from France)
What? That sucks, also found his notebooks really enjoyable.
Edit: reading up on it now Davidson seems to be gone as well. Those two were the best parts for me of the sky coverage.
They bringing on some of the C4 team? Any news on what C4 will be doing for coverage?
Pretty much the only good thing about Sky F1. Where will I get my post-race gossip from now on?
Chandhok went to Sky but C4s presenting lineup is largely unchanged this year. He's the only one that's gone.
If I'm Mr F1TV boss I'm jumping over myself to sign Ted.
Big loss for Sky IMO.
If that's true, it's a big loss for sky. Even if the notebook was part gossip, it was one of the more entertaining segments on the show before and after a race. I second the idea of F1TV signing him up instantly.
Ooh £65 for virgin media plus sports and 200MB internet. Only £5 more than i'm Paying already...
..only for new customers - you stupid loyal bastard can pay £82.25
Nope. Also can't believe they still charge you for the privilege fr watching in HD - not even 4k, just regular old HD (£7 a month extra!)

Sigh. Sky coverage just keeps on getting worse and worse. I hope he will land somewhere, I quite liked his reports.
I don't know if he will be a good fit on F1TV, since Will Buxton is already doing a good paddock coverage there.
It's not Lazenby's job to contribute though, he's the glue that binds Sky's coverage together. Bland glue, but glue nonetheless. That said I do quite enjoy Vernon Kay doing Formula E, so I can't claim a different presenter wouldn't make things more entertaining.
It's his job to contribute to the role he's there to do (ie. keep me engaged enough to want to watch their pre and post race shows), but for me at least he comes across just as uninformed and as uninterested in F1 as he did 8 years ago when they started. In contrast to Ted who is someone who came across as someone who has a genuine passion for reporting on the sport (whether you like his style or not) and so I actually want to watch the content he produced for them.
The best part is everything is HD native these days anyway. It's downscaled for you which ironically, requires slightly more work.
Notebook would definitely have to get dropped, however Ted could provide pit commentary during races for F1TV or chat with the drivers during the GP build up.
I don't think F1TV needs Kravitz' tabloid style of reporting. Always trying to get that gotcha moment with the team personell or drivers.
His notebook segments were informative but Buxton has showed how you you do that format in a much better and positive way.

Nice! Would be great if Brundle went back to calling the race and Jenson on the side. Brundle and DC on BBC several years back was my favorite combo.
we'll have to wait see what the setup will be but yeah, what you've suggested would be pretty good imo
Thought this was a very interesting interview with Robert Kubica. It's long at 20 minutes but it was interesting to hear all of his thoughts:
What the fuck?
What the fuck!?
Ted was great. Great attitude, fantastically pointless content. He delivered exactly the sort of bullshit you need to sustain 24/7 coverage of a 3/3 sport.
Ant was a great straight man and really seemed to know his stuff, very Gary Neville esque.
Can't believe Teds gone.......wasn't a big fan of him personally but his contribution and passion for F1 were undeniable.
Without Alonso the only talent left in this (rigged)"competition" is Ricciardo and probably Leclerc. Nonetheless I'll keep watching it, even tho I hate it.
Depending on the car dynamics, I hope for great fights between Lewis, Max and LeClerc. Unfortunately don't see Danny on Renault close to them.
I don't think we'll see anything until Melbourne. those rumors also had Ted's contract expiring at the end of February, so its likely he's still under contract, and a lot of people are staying silent because of just that.
