POST-RACE: The post-race show "F1 Extra" is normally shown
immediately after the race show whatever time that may be. NBC(SN) 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.
IF THE RACE RUNS LONG THEN IT'S A GIVEN THAT THERE WILL BE *NO*
POST-RACE COVERAGE ON NBC. IN THAT CASE, IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE PODIUM
CEREMONIES AND INTERVIEWS YOU WOULD HAVE TO WATCH THE RESHOWING
OF THE RACE LATER SUNDAY EVENING ON NBCSN TO CATCH THE POST-RACE
INTERVIEWS AND "F1 EXTRA".

I pull this info from from my Tivo's schedule. I have no guarantee
that it is correct but it usually is. I also double check it with the NBC Sports
NET schedule.

Gonna miss this one, Z. Wife and I are heading out tomorrow in our new (to us) '14 C7 on a 3,000 mile road trip from Hot Springs to Kitty Hawk, NC.
I'll check in when I can, but watching the qualifying and race isn't happening.
Y'all have a good one,
Mike

Romain Grosjean has labelled the narrow four degrees Centigrade operating window he has experienced with Pirelli's 2017 Formula 1 tyres as "ridiculous".

The operating window for this year's tires IS more "ridiculous" than normal.
Tire issues in F1 are not always the fault of manufacturers.
IMO, the teams (and F1) are constantly wanting the performance specs changed.
The problem is sometimes this creates a rock and a hard place situation for tire suppliers (see the Indy/Michelin fiasco).
Pirelli has taken some unfair heat (excuse the pun) over the years for their tires because of these ludicrous demands placed on them.
BTW, speaking of tires...
We all know with the aero characteristics of today's cars following a car too closely can chew up fronts.
Why not design a front tire that is nearly indestructible?
IOW, cars can more easily follow each other closely enough to execute a pass.
Seems like a no brainer to me.

I think they went the wrong way with the aero. If they reduced it, maybe a closely following car wouldn't suffer as much.

With the same tire spec across the grid, the tire grip performance for each car would be the same.
The differences between the front & rear tires would be great.
The fronts would have high grip, while the rears could be deliberately designed to have lower grip.
There may be times during a race when only the rears need to be replaced, and there may be races where teams choose to use one set of fronts for the entire race.
Let's be honest here: fans don't get excited by pit stops...they get excited by on-track PASSING.
They get excited by close-quarter battles, not cars being forced to stay 20 yards behind another to protect tires.
I'll second that... since everybody runs on the same spec tires anyway, why not make them hard enough to minimize the 'marbles' roll off too? When everyone is afraid to go off line, makes it a little hard to pass...
I think they went the wrong way with the aero. If they reduced it, maybe a closely following car wouldn't suffer as much.

I did the "Tail" in my MR2 Turbo on a drive from Philly to SoCal one year (wnet that way on purpose ) It was the perfect car for such a "mad mouse" roadway. I'm thinking the Z06 would be a bit of a handful for a lot of that road. Fun, for sure, but not optimal.
Have fun!!! Be safe!!!

Haas team boss Gunther Steiner thinks it ridiculous that Carlos Sainz has blamed the lack of visibility from his mirrors for the crash with Romain Grosjean at the Canadian Grand Prix.

In spite of the rumors, Sainz isn't ready for the Scuderia IMO.
Without question he is very fast.
However, it doesn't appear he is mature enough yet.
I can't see Ferrari taking him next year when there are more experienced guys available.

I doubt McLaren will be winning by September...
I'd like to see Bottas replace Kimi, then have Alonso team up with LH. I know how well they get on...

FA and LH reunited?
What a season 2018 will be to remember.
