[stevewool]

I am not a great lover of this sport anymore , to much money and to much the same same.
But i have read that Lewis "dont speak to me if i dont win the race" Hamilton has a new partner, Valtteri Bottas, i have always like this driver, he is quite but has proved himself with Williams.
I may start watching it again, but then again i may not.

[Michael Parnham]

German Grand Prix today, Lewis Hamilton's car broke down yesterday whilst qualifying so he starts todays race at 14th, hope he pulls something out of the bag to at least get a podium position. Good luck Lewis :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Michael Parnham]

Well, Lewis did it once again, what more can I say apart from great stuff Lewis :Jump:

Fantastic. :Jump:

I've had to miss the last few races, with being out here in the jungle. :cwm3:

I did buy a big TV though, and brought my Xbox with wheel and pedals for my car racing. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

If your TV and internet provider is Sky Cable you can watch Formula 1. I will keep you updated in future Graham. By the way this last race was the most difficult but best that Lewis has experienced, he was very emotional just after the race. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[grahamw48]

Thanks Michael.

Though we've no chance of having any kind of cable TV out here in the wilds of Pangasinan. :wink:

I actually have an antenna atop a 30 foot bamboo pole, which leads down to a wi-fi modem (mobile phone SIM)... and our internet feeds in from that, to all of our devices, via wifi.

I can watch Youtube via my Xbox, on the big TV though, as the Xbox is also wi-fi enabled. :smile:

What about an Amazon Fire Stick Graham?

What about an Amazon Fire Stick Graham?

Linked to an IPTV provider, £70 a year for every channel including all the latest films.

[grahamw48]

I may give that a try.

My present entertainment is dependent upon a phone signal for internet... + analogue terrestrial TV though.

[Michael Parnham]

Pole position for Lewis today at Hungary, pouring with rain Vettel at 4th, should be a good race tomorrow as it's a rather difficult track to overtake :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[grahamw48]

Oh.... good stuff. Thanks for the update Michael. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Michael Parnham]

Oh.... good stuff. Thanks for the update Michael. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

He could soon become the best F1 driver ever, good luck to him :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[grahamw48]

Yes, and he does seem to have held on to being a nice guy, despite all the enormous pressures there must be upon him from (some maybe dubious) peers, and just through being rich and famous. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Very true Graham. How's your little family? :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[grahamw48]

We're all fine thanks Michael.

It's the little perisher's 3rd birthday come August 11th, so there will be a cake and other grub to devour.

He's already attending nursery school though, he's so advanced and bright ! :cwm24:

Did you check out Sky Cable Graham? The channel to watch is 'Star Sport'. There may be other providers that run Star Sport or it may be possible to find it on internet. :Erm: :xxgrinning--00xx3: Just checked internet and found FOX SPORT Asia. Looks like they broadcast F1 also. Good luck! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[grahamw48]

Cheers mate.

Sadly we are reliant on a phone signal only, for internet, being in the middle of nowhere, as we are, so not much chance of watching other TV channels.

[Michael Parnham]

Kimi on pole followed by Seb then Lewis, todays race will be hard for Lewis now that Ferrari upgrades have produced more speed, hope he can pull something out of the bag:Erm:

[grahamw48]

Everything crossed Michael. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Sadly, I just don't get to see the races now, as our internet connection is just not up to it. :cwm3:

At least I have my Xboxes here though, so I can pretend to be Lewis. :drivingx:

[Michael Parnham]

Once again Lewis on pole position in Japan followed by Valterri then Max. It's the 80th pole for Lewis; also I must mention Seb is 9th for those interested. Hope tomorrow turns out to be a good race, the weather is forecast mixed conditions. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Cheers for the update Michael.

Looks like Lewis has the championship in the bag then, eh ? :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Michael Parnham]

Kimmi, Max and Lewis third, think Vettell was 5th so no worries at the moment. Mexico next so hope Lewis wins :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Michael Parnham]

Mexico qualifying, Daniel Riciardo, Max then Lewis third, should be a great race. Lewis will be champion as long as he finishes 7th or above but he says he would like to win and earn the championship in style, just hope his car remains as reliable as it has been all year. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[grahamw48]

Fingers crossed again. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Michael Parnham]

Wow! what a tough race, Max won followed by Seb then Kimmi, Lewis came fourth due to tyre problems but having said that he is world champion, well done Lewis :Jump::xxgrinning--00xx3:

Seems to be some doubt about whether or not he will continue his F1 career ???

[Michael Parnham]

All the talk is that he wants to achieve seven championships, Peter :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[grahamw48]

Fantastic news for us British F1 fans. :Jump::xxgrinning--00xx3:

He gets a lot of flack from some quarters, but how would most young lads cope with such success, and the lifestyle that is REQUIRED by the sponsors ?

I take my hat off to him and his devoted dad.

[Michael Parnham]

Brazil qualifying, Lewis pole, Vettel then Bottas, forcast for weather on race day occasional heavy showers, could be an exciting race. :xxgrinning--00xx3:
