========================================
Formula One - Canada Schedule on NBC and NBC Sports Net
========================================
THE LIVE SHOWING OF THE RACE ON NBC !!!
IT IS NOT ON NBC SPORTS NET!!!
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!
1. THE TIMES FOR THIS RACE ARE DIFFERENT, SO PAY ATTENTION!
2. THERE ARE TWO SHOWINGS OF THE RACE THIS SUNDAY.
3. THERE ARE TWO SHOWINGS OF QUALIFYING AND ONE SHOWING OF PRACTICE.
4. ALL PROGRAMS ARE ON NBC SPORTSNET THIS WEEKEND EXCEPT
xxFOR THE LIVE BROADCAST OF THE RACE ITSELF
xxand the "F1 Extra" show following immediately afterward.
5. NBC starts their race coverage at 11:00 AM Pacific. According to Bernie's
xxsite that is the time of the race start. That means NO PRE-RACE
xxSHOW IS INCLUDED with NBC'S coverage.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
AUTO RACING FRILLS LIKE PODIUM CEREMONIES, POST-RACE PRESS
CONFERENCES, HAPPY VIEWERS, ETC. REMEMBER, NBC IS OWNED BY
COMCAST. ENOUGH SAID.
THE FIVE HOURS PRIOR TO THE SCHEDULED NBC COVERAGE OF THIS RACE ARE
FOR THE MEN'S FINAL OF THE FRENCH OPEN TENNIS TOURNAMENT. GUESS WHAT
WILL HAPPEN IF THE TENNIS RUNS LONG...
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND RECORDING THE NBCSN RESHOWING OF THE RACE
AT 5 PM PDT (8 PM EDT) AS A SAFETY MEASURE to ensure that you see everything
possible. They have scheduled the standard 2 1/2 hour time slot for this. The ONLY
guaranteed post-race show is on the NBCSN reshowing at 5 PM (8 Eastern.)
If you know how to do it, grab the recorded British SKY coverage off of the
internet (or not, since once you see how they do it you'll throw bricks
at the NBCSN coverage.) Here's a clue - this is the 2015 opening sequence shown
on all the SKY F1 shows (they do several different shows each week about F1):

Sky's opening sequence is more entertaining than half of the races.
And if you're still interested, here's Skye's post-race show for Monaco.

(3) POST-RACE: The post-race show "F1 Extra" is normally shown
immediately after the race show whatever time that may be. NBCSN schedules
"F1 Extra" to start 2 hours after the start of the race but, in reality, it's always
shown immediately after the race regardless of the clock. The simplest way to make
sure you record "F1 Extra" is simply to add enough extra time to the race broadcast
recording to cover (a) any extra time that was needed to run the entire race
including any delays, and (b) "F1 Extra". My standard routine is to add
at least three hours (!) just to make sure I cover most eventualities.
THAT SAID...
POST-RACE COVERAGE MAY NOT HAPPEN IF THE RACE RUNS UP AGAINST
THE 2 HOUR TIME SLOT THAT NBC HAS GIVEN FOR THE RACE. THEY HAVE
SOME RED BULL "SPORTS" THING SCHEDULED TO FOLLOW THE RACE.

I would say that the first thing they need to do is to get Lewis to quit looking at the TV screens and assuming things that are not true. And have the pit crews not be giving off incorrect messages to everyone.
Here's exactly what Lewis saw on the big screens around the track just as he passed the finish line to start lap 65. Sure does look like the crew (his crew) is ready for an imminent stop by someone and that someone would have to be Rosberg since it clearly wasn't Lewis. The pit crews regularly do these "fake 'em out" performances to mess with the competition. This time, however...
It's really not hard to see how this could happen nor is it hard to see how it wouldn't be something that you would think to guard against.
It's interesting watching the Sky post-race show (see link in Msg #1) where very experienced ex F1 drivers Martin Brundle, Damon Hill, and Johnny Herbert all posit their theories on how it happened and all of them are incorrect.

IMHO I believe that for all of Mercedes engineering might, they really aren't too hot on the pitwall. I think Paddy is a great lead Engineer/Technical Director, but he's not a good on the fly race strategist.
Anywhooooo...................Ferrari and Honda are supposedly spending some tokens on their engines and are looking to bring upgrades into Canada. Williams is supposedly bringing a ton of upgrades.
I don't think Ferrari will win the race without some help from Mercedes, but I think Mercedes and Ferrari will lock out the first four spots.
After 4th I think Williams is strong for the next spots, but it will be a mighty interesting race in the midfield.

Paddy doesn't do that. That's the job of James Vowles.
Here's an interesting 2010 interview with Vowles where he describes his job for us.
http://www.emercedesbenz.com/autos/m...alks-strategy/
I'm not sure I'd want to be updating my engines for a race that stresses the engines more than most. Just seems like you're asking for it, no?
Merc lost last year because of brakes. I agree re: first two rows. And probably third row = all Williams.

Except for Monza yeah pretty high engine stress, but at some time you have to roll out your B spec engine and see if the upgrades are enough to catch Mercedes outright, force them into making mistakes, or force them into spending tokens.
One item that was brought up on another forum and one I'm not really certain of is how the old A spec engines will be used. If they are not allowed to be upgraded as they are one of the set allocated for this year, then how is their usage addressed. Also can the variable intake trumpets for the Ferrari engine be considered something done for reliability and therefore allowed on the old spec engines? Really interesting stuff here.
My comment about Paddy is that from what I understand he's basically the chief technical officer and essentially what used to be Team Principal despite Mercedes different model with Wolff and Lauda. This being said with the data given to Paddy I can't see Ross making those same errors. I'm not only talking about Monaco, but over the past several years you can see Mercedes making some really bad blunders from the pit wall that were covered by having such a good car.

According to a thing I was just reading, a switch to VVIT for 2015 used up tokens. See the link I inserted into Msg #14.

I think Merc understands who is good at what (and not) and have a specific guy who does all the strategy stuff. He was doing that job before Paddy joined, though. No one is perfect. Thinking back over the past twenty years or so, there were *plenty* of visible screwups from Team A through Team Z. No one was immune. Human beings and all that. That's what makes racing fun. If it was always perfect no one would care.

Jump to this new era and they knew that the new engines would need development but they still wanted to keep it to a dull roar. So they invented this idea of "tokens" where each manufacturer was allowed to spend X number of token in a year to change certain things on their motors.
Simply said (at least as far as *I* understood for purposes of our conversation here) 'A' motor means current, never-tokened (updated) motor while 'B' means one that HAS been upgraded.
Make sense?
Here's an article on the new power units (probably more than most folks ever wanted to know) that has an brief explanation of the tokens thing:

I know the cars do not have abs. Why did Hamilton drive at slow speed into the barrier during wet practice?
Would not pumping the brakes have given him a little steering?
He was front locked up for a LONG time. At low speed.
Better to take the damage straight on?

in second practice, Mercedes decided to send Hamilton out on track on
intermediate tyres. 'Aquaplaned!' Hamilton radioed after hitting the wall."
Remember, they are slick tires with NO tread on a fairly light car. So once they are up on top of the water, it's not easy to get back down again.

Z,
Thanks for the LM24 info, and a belated thanks for the Canadian GP info as well (been out of town this week).
Well, qualifying went about as close to normal as possible, with the exception of Vettel's problem(s). It'll be interesting to watch him move up in the race.
And, you were dead center on Rosberg still being a half-step behind Hamilton.
Today's race should be interesting!
Have a good one,
Mike

The commentators asked Team HAAS about their status
They took a tour of the facility
They also asked about which drivers they were looking at, trying to see if an American will driving
They asked about Danica
"No, she's too old to learn a new type of car"
