Shit, just realized I answered my own question.

One more year of finishing school for hulk in a sauber, then 2 germans in red for 14.

I need my live F1 fix. Waiting for the beeb feed is painfully slow.

Honestly, I just don't like the BBC commentators as much. they're lacking something, IMO. A bit too dry vs Speed.

Almost like Leno vs Conan (back in the day). The former knew they're more mainstream, so it has to be toned down and more appealing to the mass market. The latter could talk crazy and make fun of things more because it was a niche audience.

"For the 20 races next year, NBC is promising 100 hours of coverage, which includes live coverage of practice and race sessions. Four of the races will be aired on NBC, including the Canadian Grand Prix and the final three races of the season. The balance of the schedule will be on the NBC Sports Network.

They intend to broadcast every race live, but there are a few scheduling conflicts right now. Regardless, every race will be live streamed on the internets we've heard so much about."

I do. Kimi is coin operated, just like Snoop Dogg (Lion).

For all his harumphing of press days, it's quite obvious he'll promote/do most anything for a quick check.

Crap, I really have doubts this race will ever happen.

WEEHAWKEN - A Formula One race originally planned for next year in Weehawken is expected to be postponed. Mayor Richard Turner tells The Jersey Journal the race is being rescheduled for 2014. Turner and another unnamed official claim race promoters are behind on road repairs and permits.

Bummer. If they're having trouble getting a track built in TX, imagine how hard getting paddocks built and roads resurfaced is in NJ. Unions, environmental impact studies, etc.

Austin in '13 everyone?
