Man, maybe this is just placebo effect, but I feel like the World Feed looks even better this year. The cars look faster overall, just from a presentation perspective. The new graphics are a pretty big upgrade as well.

Weird to hear commentary over FP sessions though, as an American viewer. So used to just the noises of the WF.

Sadly, no. It was supposed to debut this week, but it's been delayed.

I'm just streaming the World Feed on ESPN. They've got the Sky Sports presentation with some ads. Better video quality than NBCSN by far, however. It's clearly 60Hz and truly fullscreen.

I don't like the graphics tbh. ELIMINATION ZONE, DRIVER IN DANGER, corner numbers, the faces popping up on the radio etc..

Look at how minimal it used to be :cry:

Kubica would be better than 19th!! :P

You're right, it's more important for it to look better and provide no information, especially for newcomers

Pretty impressive jump from Sauber, as unimpressive as they seem overall. Williams is going to be a real turd all year, I think.

I think the new graphics are hard to read. The text is too small and the font isn't very readable. My TV is huge and I was still squinting.

I definitely agree that the typeface is bad, but a lot of the other ancillary info seemed a lot easier to read, like tyre types and sector times

I have no problem with them showing the driver who is speaking on the radio or being shown on the feed, as it took me probably six months before I knew all the drivers and could recognize them out of the car

I'd like to see him in another car. I'm not doubting his innate talent, but would he be half a second off in a Ferrari?

Just downed a cappuccino in a feeble attempt to stay up for the next five hours

I have a feeling it will go like last year--I'll fall asleep sometime after the first pit stop and wake up during the podium

At least the stream has side-by-side this year, all the NBCSN stuff went to unavoidable ads with no way to monitor the race

FWONK needs to get their shit together and let me pay them for their OTT service
