Man, it’s literally on every single channel right now, I swear.

When the rain is heavy, an umbrella only really works if you're covering a very short distance. If you have to be out in the elements for any length of time or actually get things done, it becomes more of a nuisance than a help.

Look, I’m usually the first one out there regardless of the weather, and if someone can't handle it, they can just pull over to the side. But...
This track is 44 laps long. That means at least half the race—literally—would be spent driving under the SC. To me, that alone is enough reason to change my mind.
And besides, if Lando Norris had spun out during the race like he did yesterday, we’d be looking at a tragic replay of what happened to Anthoine Hubert. He’d fly off at Mount Rushmore, bounce back onto the track, and get hit by someone else.
Or take what happened yesterday in the W series, where drivers were just slamming into one another.

Where on earth did unknown disappear to?! 😁
I guess they probably aren't even awake enough to type at this hour. 😬

Perez might have to start from the pit lane 😬
Hopefully they give him a setup that actually works for the rain—maybe then he can pull off a decent recovery drive

I actually asked about this just a little bit ago, but honestly, nobody gave me an answer. From what I can gather, maybe only ESPN has it, but I don't think anyone else does.

I honestly feel like I’m missing Ivica Blažičko and Neven Novak here. 🤣

I happen to have it on my Verizon plan—just the basic, cheapest package. I think they include some German channel like ABC, but I don't feel like digging through the guide to check.

Well, German ABC isn't broadcasting Formula 1 this year, so that's probably not going to help you much.

Do you have ESPN HD?

They actually are, but only for four races. They're skipping today, but they'll show Imola and Brazil.
ESPN is carrying the race.

Race control is a complete joke—zero clue what they're doing, just nodding along to whatever anyone says🙏

ESPN is airing the race.
Nah... ESPN is definitely showing the race.

Right? I mean, I'm pretty sure I could swear I actually caught some coverage on ABC this year.
Btw,
that Canadian M4 channel broadcasts everything in HD, and the best part is there aren't even any commercials.

I have it. I've just been staring at a blank screen for two hours now, waiting for the start.

I guess I'll just watch the rain through my window for free instead.😁
