The completely spoiler free "Should I watch the full race or just highlights?" thread

#1

Post by John »

As the title says.

Me and I guess others won't be up before the break of dawn to watch the Thunder from Down under.

I was hoping that someone who watches the race could kindly fill in with a spoiler free advice as to watch the entire GP or just the highlights.

Cheerio, chaps.

Watch the full race.

I won’t be watching live as I’m heading into NYC for a Half Marathon. I will watch the full race though, will watch when I get back around lunchtime.

I'll try to let you know... But it's entirely possible that I'll still be sleeping before you wake up.

I guess I could give a heads up...I was going to head to a sports bar to watch the race today, but with the quali result, it doesn't seem worth going out and spending the money.

Yes, the inevitable 2 minutes of highlights that will appear on the F1 YouTube channel later will be more than sufficient.

Can't wait for the Top 5 Moments of the Australian GP video, where this amazing event occupies places 2, 3 and 4.

Bumping this for tomorrow as I'll be out and about during the race.

Highlights or full race? I'll check in here when I get back home.

It will be another Hamilton assolo. The funny thing is that he’s never shown in tv because liberty is so ashamed of the poor racing content formula 1 is offering nowdays

.... which is a blessing as it means we get to see some of the more interesting midfield dices and 'Last Lap Lando' finishes. :smiley:

Is that really meaningful? We had tons of that also back in the days and they were also showed on tv without being called Rubens or Nelson laps.
But are we watching the race to see who arrives 5th or who wins it?

Well it is just me saying I get to see some decent racing rather that having to endure cameras focusing on a Lewis solo Sunday afternoon cruise. :wink:
