Diffy's voice sometimes is overboard, like on ALMS races last year.

Diffy's voice... I hope I warm up to it.
I liked the coverage during commercials. |

Totally different for me: I got tired of paying for premium level cable to get NBCSN so I didn't see the race. I hope the sponsors got a rate decrease for the smaller number of viewers.

Dish wants me to upgrade my service to get NBCSN.
Grrr.

I've thought about getting a list of the sponsors and sending them a note saying why I'm not watching any more. If enough people do it...

Hmm, Comcast here. I dropped the sports package that I was buying to get Speed, but I still got the F1 on NBC. Make sense? Maybe Comcast didn't change my account?

I thought it was very good coverage other than Diffey getting a little too excited at times.

I don't miss the NASCAR and "are you faster than a redneck" promos.

Agree that Diffy is a little bit hyper at times. I'm also not sure that I see the value of televising FP1, but maybe I'll warm up to that. I thought that the prerace show lacked the content that it had when it was on Speed, and I noticed that having a camera on Buxton in the pitlane on raceday was conspicuously absent. Those niggles aside, I thought the whole thing was worth watching. I'm just very happy that NBC Sports is doing this.

I think Varsha is doing 3 races, when Diffey has conflicts with IndyCar races.
I thought the coverage was good & the race was great - dicing, passing, lead-changes, 2nd tier teams up front, etc. Very entertaining. I only wish Alonso could have run down Kimi to fight for the win at the end. Kimi does indeed know what he is doing. Looking forward to a great season.

pre race grid coverage could have been better, and they could have utilized will buxton more.

I couldnt tell if their timing was off or if there was a connection delay, but it the transitions to/from Buxton werent smooth. Small detail I guess, but I've liked his input in the past and hope they include more Buxton in the future.

I don't like Buxton so much. Peter Windsor was better. I've heard Diffey's broadcast on Speednews and as a F1 sub many times, so it was not a big change. Varsha was the best to come along, but after that many years it might have been time to shake the line up.
I just hope they don't lose Hobbs and Matchet. Now let's see, they could get Fish over from Speed and we'd have Calvin and Hobbs. |

I like Hobbs but he's 74 years old. I think they would do better with someone younger and possibly a former driver that has been in a F1 car recently.

Getting very annoyed with Dish. Upgrade the package and all you get is more crap shopping and religious with music channels I don't need or care to have my TV on for listening. Dish Network has gone to schit.
