Yeah I was pretty pissed off at NBC on Sunday. I wrote them a pretty hateful email for not showing the race. I'm aware it's a FWP, unlike the tragedy in FL, but if you're gonna showcase the F1 race on your flagship channel, show the race or give us an option to record it tape delayed later.

As you pointed out, given the tragedy, losing the race coverage is least of our concern. But, if you switched to NBCsn, you would have caught it. I lost about six laps (and pre-race) before realizing it and switched. American motor sports broadcasters suck pretty bad in general. Fox Sports totally screwed up Le Mans coverage (still catching up with the recording). These guys suck! Lack of competition is the problem!

I believe f1 hondas have one of the best sounding engines. I can say the same about all motor k series and b series when they have internal work done.

The F1 Honda engine in the McLaren sounds like it's sick or something. Maybe too much traction control or something, but it does not sound like one of the better engines this season to me.
