So here in the US this years television coverage has been lacking. No qualifying for this event, only FP3 and the race.

I thought after china they had it nailed. Guess not. Just a bit frustrating.

Anyone having better luck?

I am not fond of these races from Baku.

The track is too narrow and many locations aren't really ideal for quick removal of stuck cars and debris. So we have extended safety car periods and then we have the incident that we had with Bottas. Compared to Shangai I think this race was a snooze. Lewis' win was lady luck smiling on him and all the points seemed to be awarded for surviving the battle of attrition. Was Vettel trying to do a Ricciardo trying to outbrake Bottas into Turn 1?

I'm not a fan either, it's just too narrow.

There were a few good moments though, safety car(s) sure made it more interesting.

Although it is not broadcasted, coverage is excellent. if you can watch ESPN via your network, you can watch it on on-line. go to espn.com, "watch" and look for "replay". unlike previous NBCSN, it has proper audio on all practice session & F2 coverage as well. believe it or not, both F2 races were pretty good and unpredictable on Baku race.

Adding to what Nibble said: Just google ESPN3. Then sign in with the credentials you use for the account with your cable service provider. In my case no sign in required, it recognized that I was on a Spectrum/Time Warner connection. Now search for Formula 1. The search will show you upcoming events as well as events that have already happened. Locate the qualifying or any other session you want to see and click play. The sessions now have sky commentary. Hope this helps.
