    There are no rule changes in qualifying, right? Will be the same as it has been (unlike the start of 2016), right?

    The only reason I watch the NBC broadcast is that I can DVR it and watch it with my son on the big screen. Otherwise I'd be downloading it. Leigh Diffey, David Hobbs, Steve Matchett and Will Buxton aren't that bad, except for A) the Boat-ass pronunciation as noted and B) their propensity to yell anytime a driver gets within about 10 feet of another. YMMV.

    Yep same rules as last race.
    Thank heavens.

    I want some channel to hire Gilbert Gottfried or Billy Eichner. They should hire comedians anyway, it's not as if it would be hard for them to gain enough expertise to shadow many current commentators...

    In my opinion, boat-os(which is how I hear it) is preferable to butt-ass like the English pronounce it. I think overall the sky crew do a better job during races, although Crofty has some pretty forced puns/segues sometimes. The NBC broadcast just seems lazier, aside from Buxton.
    Interested in vintage cars? Ever thought about racing one?

    Yeah, Buxton has gotten way better the past few years.

    Bot - there's no but or boat in it - as in Ro'"bot". Bottas

    or just Bo77as



    Croft seems to pick the all dumb or new hamilton fan's tweets = really annoying for anyone who knows even a little about F1 and that there are no team driver conspiracies.
