Watching the Eurosport build up to the Le Mans 24 Hour race, and oh my god, the broadcast quality is SHOCKING compared to F1. The presenters inept, timings out of whack, just really naff. Even BTTC on ITV4 is a better standard of broadcast.

We are so lucky as F1 viewers to have quality, competent broadcasters, presenters etc.
I caught one of the formula E races my word their commentator really adds some excitement even when nothing has happened 😅

The Formula E commentators are not bad actually I must say.

Their graphics and such things leave a lot to be desired though. Their timing tower is on about 30 seconds delay.

Driving standards is the biggest problem in Formula E. It's like dodgems, but I kinda love the carnage and incompetence.

My sister just sent me some stuff from her f1 Facebook group - allegation is Wolff has inside knowledge about Daimler’s investment in Aston M when he bought shares in them. The Canadian authorities have apparently opened an investigation into it.
she sent me a screen shot of the discussion. It’s interesting if nothing else. To be honest the whole history of F1 is based on dodgy deals! It was run by Mr dodgy himself - bernie ecclestone for years 🤣

Greed. Aren't they all rich enough already? :unsure:

Wolff bought stocks, and then a few months later Daimler increased their investment into Aston Martin and brought a new CEO in, which massively increased the worth of those shares Toto bought. Combine this with him being best buds with Lawrence and how this whole Merc/Aston Martin relationship was already last year (this time in F1) under investigation for suspected illegal sharing of CAD designs and I would say that the likehood of him being guilty is high, but there is no way that he can be proven guilty.

Wolff is classic finance guy working in probably the most ruthless sport in the world, I would be zero surprised.

A new award for overtaking is this needed?
Seems rather a strange award- more of a gimmick versus anything. I doubt it would be a motivator for a driver to do more overtakes- that’s what they’re trying to do anyway.

Also it just takes the fastest team to end up at the back of the track for whatever reason briefly to then fly through the track a couple of times in a season to win that award (unless I’m misinterpreting how they’d award it)

I agree. Why do they bring in these gimmicks. Don’t mess with stuff when it works and don’t over complicate things. People want to see good, competitive racing - that’s it 🤷‍♀️

We sure do. Just seems slightly odd. Oh there goes (a driver) and what an overtake by him! Yeah nah just a daft award that sone will fight over.

I reckon a sponsor wants in. Like the DHL fastest pit stop or the Pirelli Pole awards.

Will be like when Lewis got the pole position award earlier this season and he was like 'this is really nice do I get to keep it' and the guy was like you have loads of these 😂 they won't notice this new award

It's sponsored by Crypto I think. Money talks.
