Same here, very weird. It said it was over the air, but not being played via my cable subscriber ABC channel. I found it by accident on some obscure channel and it was in standard definition.

Great race though, very happy for Kimi! Even if he isn’t.

NickyC · 10-21-2018, 06:47 PM

Finally, got back on track with a wonderful race and the payoff was seeing Kimi win again. Nail biter for those last what, 20 laps?

Sorry some of you in the US didn't seem to have the race on TV? It was on 712 for me on Charter, high def etc. as usual.

Great win for Kimi. Got to love the Iceman.
"You must be very excited"
"Eh.."

Ferrari has themselves in hole for next year. Vettel keeps screwing up, Leclere is an unknown and they could end up 3rd or worse for constructor points/money (if Honda or Renault can make a good engine). Keeping Kimi would have kept them in the points race. His leaving is actually all about their loss of faith in Vettel. They must be hoping they can find a post-Hamilton solution. If Vettel can't beat Hamilton they need to find someone else (Leclere) who either can next year or as Hamilton declines. It's too bad there aren't more competitive teams out there. It would be way more interesting if Kimi, Ricciardo and Alonso all had viable chances aside from Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari.

At this point idk if Vettel is capable of beating Hamilton. Obviously not this year but next. He’s had serious errors like Baku last year, over and over. I also think Ferrari will miss Kimi. Some of his best driving was this year even before he won.

F1 definitely needs a proper showdown Lewis-Max.

Seb is just not up to it. And Max destroyed Danny.

Apparently the word is Ferrari is giving Seb an ultimatum. One more season to figure things out, or they will cut ties with him.

BayE30 · 10-22-2018, 05:48 PM

Ferrari shouldnt have let Kimi go, he has been super consistent for them. SUPER HAPPY to see Kimi get a win after 5 years, he deserved it.

I’m not sure this makes sense, after all who would replace him?

Hamilton will probably end his career at Mercedes;

Verstappen (almost) locked into Red Bull as they see him as their future star;

Alonso leaving F1 but also towards the end of his career;

Danny Ric headed to Renault for big money.

Who’s left, LeClerc? So far he doesn’t have the experience to be the Ferrari #1 driver.

I think Arrivabene is out long before Vettel.

Ferrari has to hope that Red Bull/Honda still isn't competitive with them or Mercedes and that Max thinks he needs Ferrari in order to win a championship. Either that or they have to hope they have more talent in the wings.

I agree. They’ll be coming for Max with a vengeance. Problem is: can he break his RB contract assuming the RB still isn’t quite competitive enough and Ferrari offer him enough $!
