If Bahrain was surrounded by grass and motorsport fans instead of sand and sand, it would be a really good venue. Turn 11 is a belter and the whole middle sector is fun to drive, but there's overtaking available into the first and last corners too.

He is indeed a streamer, plays things like iRacing using one of those nerd rigs like Pepe has.
And Gran Turismo licenses with Guitar Hero controllers.
New F1 owners incoming?
I've hear nothing about that. Losing 3-4 races so far off the calendar would hit anybody hard. I'm watching the 2009 season review and man, it doesn't half ruin my perception of Barrichello. From Monaco onwards, he's so bitter. Almost as if he and Brawn have never got on.
What’s that on?

This youtube channel. They've got plenty of season reviews uploaded.
His season can be summed up by the start of the Aussie GP, before which he said he wouldn't be able to hear any team orders should they be used and then stalled off the line and ran into about three people at turn one. Season in a microcosm right there.
Yeah, some of his drives were proper angry. Still, not as hilarious of Luca Badoer's two races.
What was Lewis' driving style back then? Nowadays he seems like the Roger Federer of F1, not particuarly exciting but it's so smooth that it's unstoppable. Was he always like that?
On the opposite end, Verstappens debut season where he gave zero shitsSo ridiculously aggressive.
In his early years (07 to say 10) he was on the ragged edge and had moments of brilliance combined with a tendency to be hard on his tyres/machinery. He was also quite immature.
Post-30 he's just been totally superior to the rest of the field in every way.
If you want to watch the 2014 Bahrain GP then it's on now.

The legends race sounds promising.
It's up now.
I can't decide if Jolyon Palmer is good or a complete asshole but I'm living for his little smirk everytime someone unfamiliar with their equipment leaves the stream on in the background or similar.
My man Adrian Fernandez getting on the podium the same way he always did: waiting for everyone else to crash out.
Sounds like any public online racing game. Stay on the tarmac and your guaranteed points.
MotoGP are in on the act now.

Never played a MotoGP game, but that made it look legit. Have you tried them?
Not for a few years.
My PSN trophy list states the last time i played a Moto GP game, was back in 2015. It does look great.
Might give it a go when it is on sale, that looked fun.
I tried to play MotoGP on xbox but i couldn't figure out how to drive tht fucking thing tbh.
Currently watching the iRacing NASCAR race as it's being broadcast on cable lol
iRacing's Nascar is really legit.
Got to say I really like the idea of the F1 season fully leaking into winter.
Imagine a British GP in the run up to Christmas, or some snow races around Europe.
F1 is more fucked by this than any other sport I reckon. I can't see when they'll ever be able to restart, the whole setup is like an international virus train. We'll have to herd them all into Britain where the teams are based and have an eight-round championship at Silverstone, Brands Hatch, Donington, Thruxton, Snetterton and Oulton Park for a few years.
Ferrari can race each other around Maranello, which is probably what the old man would have wanted.
I was thinking about this the other day and I can't see how this won't change the way the sport works. Can you really see venues (whose business lies in gathering large amounts of disparate people together in one place) surviving in the same way? They surely won't be forking over millions in race fees.
How much revenue is made from one F1 weekend?
A quick glance says $225m per event (in 2008)
2018 had them at $1.8bn for the year.

The race fees will be decimated and in turn the prize money will decrease by a lot, which means that a greater percentage of their revenue is going to have to come from TV / F1TV, and also the teams won't be able to spend nearly as much money as they have done. That will probably have to be mandated or else it will turn into a 2 or 3 car championship. A massive cost reduction will benefit the slicker operations and punish the teams that pour money into a black hole (hi Renault), meaning they might even think about pulling out (bye Renault). It will probably encourage some start-up cranks into the fray too, but only if they're able to get to all the races.
Venue wise, how are they going to convince Singapore to wank tens of millions on building a street circuit once a year?
I could be miles wrong here but my instinct is it'll almost have a time machine effect on F1 and reinstate a lot of the norms you saw in the 1990s and earlier, albeit with all the newer technological stuff retained.
Just put the drivers into Tekashi castle and be done with it
Williams and Sauber will do well to survive you'd think.
Williams' best bet is for Frank to die of it and have the family flog the team to some Arabs before he's even cold.

Good thinking, Helmut.
I was toying with some hypothetical scenario where you ship the same 250,000 previously infected fans around the globe for the races and carry on as normal.
Normally Helmut only gets the chance to wreck one young man's life per year, the thought of doing several in at once must have really got the old loins stirring.
What a hilariously bad take that is, the man really doesn't have any redeeming features at all. Even Flavio came across quite well in recent his Beyond The Grid interview whereas everything you hear about Marko makes him seems less and less pleasant.
It gets better.
"We have four Formula 1 drivers and eight or 10 juniors, and the idea was that we would organise a camp...."
He safely guided a flying bomb round Le Mans in 1971. I say hear him out.
One of my earliest memories of watching F1 is this race and it nearly killed my interest completely. Not much of a recommendation that really.
Probably one of the best title deciders ever along with 90, 94, 97, 08 and whichever one it was Vettel mugged off Alonso at Interlagos.
I've never rewatched it so I guess we're about to find out.
God almighty, Murray Walker was good.
Already had to drink two fingers with an Italian car breaking down.
I thought the Osella casually parked at the end of the straight was bad but they've left that Minardi there for ages.
I can't wait for pitstops, they look like a load of people out of the crowd have decided to join in.
Another two fingers for Arnoux blocking and a hand for Prost playing the long game.
There were some right choppers at the back in the 80s, who the fuck is Allan Berg?
"VIDEO CONTAINS CONTENT FROM FORMULA ONE MANAGEMENT"
uhh ok
That one got me too, no idea. Teo Fabi though
Murray really sticking it to Ferrari, livid that they've binned Johansson.
Murray's little devices he did were so great.
The popular,
The likeable,
The HUGELY TALENTED Italian.
I liked him describing Rosberg as 'grimly driving...' and how he called the onboard footage, there really is no equal.
There was a beautiful little crack in his voice at the end of a lengthy on board run with Johnny Dumfries when he said 'Must take you back to the old days, James'. I think that was the first year they had any on board footage.
