Well, this is a new experience for me watching times on the F1 App. Nice of Spectrum and Disney to enter into a pissing match over fees starting yesterday. No ESPN 1, 2, or 3.

Can‘t watch on my ESPN+ App either as is blocks it as soon as it sees Spectrum as my provider.

Really tired of the Greed these corporations exhibit. Need to keep the Blood Pressure in check tomorrow…….
 
That sucks.

Do you have an ESPN+ subscription? If you do, the race will be carried on ESPN+, as well, so you should be able to watch it as I have been able to watch the races that have been carried on ESPN+ as part of my Disney/Hulu/ESPN+ bundle.

Spectrum is my local provider, but I do not have cable TV from them as I use still have access to my old cable provider (which is not Spectrum) to stream the races carried on ESPN and ESPN2 via the cable phone app.
 
Sainz on pole!

Max second. LeClerc third. Russell fourth. Perez fifth.

And Ferrari ducked a penalty for both drivers for driving too slow on their final Q2 out lap.

Yes, I have ESPN +. However you are required to enter you cable provider. So, since it’s Spectrum it is blocked. So infuriating. Not a chance I’m paying F1 Live to watch tomorrow.

Qualifying was carried on ESPN2, so that makes sense you are blocked.

But both Grand Prix Sunday and the race tomorrow will be carried on ESPN and ESPN+ so you should be able to watch it with your ESPN+ subscription. When I watch races that are only on ESPN or ESPN2, my cable provider icon appears in the upper corner for a moment. This does not happen for races also carried on ESPN+. I have also never needed to cable provider authenticate a race carried on ESPN+.

Looks like a fair bit of the remainder of the season will have races carried on ESPN+ (but not practice or qualifying): https://espnpressroom.com/us/formula-1-2018-world-championship-schedule-on-espn-networks/

Thanks, I'll give it a try again. Maybe I can watch from my desktop on a browser instead of the App on my ATV?

Still sick and tired of the corporate greed.

I think tomorrow will be about what can Ferrari run the PU Setting at and either not blow up or run out of fuel. Their PU's were maxed out in Qualifying IMO. I think tires will also be an issue tomorrow. Almost everyone went through 7 sets. I don't think RB has the RB19 where Max wants it yet. They are, historically, very good at making adjustments the night before the race. That aside, have to cheer on Ferrari tomorrow regardless. It's their home track.

I thought Imola is their home track?
 
That is correct. I should have broadened my cheering to “Home Country.” ;)
:) My wife and I were having that conversation yesterday. I was wondering as I was loving the alfa romeo livery as well.

After Zandvoort the atmosphere looks non-existent at Imola. So weird to see such a muted crowd reaction.

I don't really care for the Alfa's livery.

I'm assuming that the Italian fan base realizes Sianz will be in 5th by the 1* Curva di Lesmo and leClerc retired by Variante Ascari ... :p

But who knows?

Nah. He’ll be leading until the first pit stop. Then he’ll pull in and they’ll only have 3x full wet tyres available and one slick. They’ll also put the front wheels on the back and the back on the front.

Of course if that happened to Max he’d still win!

yer not wrong...
 
Didn’t see the qualifying, Albon doing it AGAIN though! If only he could turn that into a good race finishing position. And I don’t have high hopes for Ferrari not screwing up their strategy and / or pit stops… 😂.

I'm not so certain on this particular circuit, when you look at the dominance charts, Ferrari has got the straights. So unless the engineers from Red Bull managed to do something last night, I think Max will have to work hard for this one.

Oh well, as predicted, the winner won, teammate 2nd, as it should be, old men finished down the field, one of the team copped a fine of 5 seconds..at the end of the day, it was so so.. I would love to have been in on the decision by Merc to car 44, HARDS, just how on any of the insanities of man was that a good idea, and how did a 38 yr old justify accepting it? A lot of questions, would have been better starting on full wets..

Yes no, yes no, yes, that start, sorry, start, nope, wait, then another parade lap.. Could Liberty Media hire an adult...Way too long to make a decision...red or not red, open the gate, no, lets just cook 19 cars... chaos.. Sums up 2023, a bit of chaos..

Ferrari did a good job of keeping Max behind for a lot longer than I thought. But as soon as he got by, that was that. I’m surprised LeClerk couldn’t have done more to help out his teammate at the start. If he’d been all over his gearbox, it might have been a different story.

I'd say 50/50 track and Sainz. Look at Albon, he also managed to hold up loads of others. Tedious track with realistically one overtaking place, then a lap of nothing and another try the next lap.
