Michael Schumacher is being woken from his medically induced coma...could go either way if he passes or not...

[Ray Smoodiver]

Is it morbid to say that I'd rather see him pass than be a vege for the rest of his life?

Either way, the Red Baron we knew has already passed :-(

Question for you guys, I'm about to make the move to get rid of my cable TV and go with solely internet. For anyone that does the same, how are you getting your races?

[mcr_driver]

I hunt for stream sites the same way I do the NFL or NBA :rofl:

Mclarens rear end is crazy. I can't find a good pic to show hoe it works

Private Torrent site. But since I don't upload anything, I'd have to donate a hefty chunk of change to get some more invites.

I also do not have cable. I have an 80% success rate or so of finding bootleg streams of F1 coverage during the live broadcast times (early in the morning mostly in the USA).

I will post the links I have had success with this year, but often times I just google "F1 streaming" the morning of the race and after looking through 2-5 links that dont work I find one that does. Even if these links no longer work, search the main site for each of the links as the URLs can change.

Also, I use Hola Unblocker on Chrome to change my proxy settings. This tricks websites like the BBC into thinking I am in the UK so I can watch F1 (and other shows like Top Gear) on their I-Player which is very nice.

Lastly, I sometimes bite the bullet and go to a bar/restaurant that airs the F1 races in Chicago. Now that Players Club is down, I joined some FB and Meetup groups to find F1 coverage.

Generally ranked from better to worse (more likely to work up top):

I didn't like Ferrari last year, but I like Kimi way too much to not pick up some new Ferrari gear. So long, Red Bull stuff..

Great video on how the new ERS works in conjunction with the new powertrain.

Would anyone be interested in a joint donation so you can download HD torrents from a private site? This same site also has WRC, DTM, Touring cars, V8 Supercars, MotoGP, World and British superbike, etc.

If you're interested let me know. I can then figure out the donation amount for that number of invites, and you guys can split the cost?

I've been using it for 4 years trouble free.

It's probably more that Sebastian Vettel is the Justin Bieber of F1.

It's probably more that Sebastian Vettel is the Justin Bieber of F1.

Which in turn, makes Lewis Hamilton the Kim Kardashian of F1.

That being said, his domination did turn me off from last season, I want to see more fighting for the championship. I'm excited for this year. It the same reason I stopped watching the WRC, Sebastian Loeb was winning every single stage, and it was boring.
