2019 F1 Start Times
« on: January 16, 2019, 04:53:00 PM »
F1 has released the start times for the 2019 races. They will all still start at 10 minutes after the hour as a nod to the TV broadcasters. France will move back to it's normal 3:10 start time. Last season it was an hour later due to a soccer thing. Abu Dhabi and Bahrain will start late in the afternoon & finish under the lights. Singapore will still be a night race. As always, FP1 & 2 will be on Thursday in Monaco. Friday is a market day there.

Sorry Cos!, but that has to be phrase of the day "Soccer Thing" = Word Cup Football.  (a "genuine" world cup, where ... oh yeah, the world actually take part!!)  ;)  :D

Can we use the label for your wee american game as "that Handball Thing" = Super Bowl.  :DD :DD :DD

Best Regards,

I remember a very, very highbrow* show where a character once said the following about American Football:

"I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby."

I found it amusing and a little accurate, although I get the 'hits' are huge in the American version of the game.

*The show was Buffy the Vampire Slayer  :-[

I hope my post above is taken in the good spirit it's intended??  "Banter".   On other forums, I would probably have been blocked from forum activity for 6 months!!  :stop: :-[

Being Scottish, I am a fan of the cult comedy Still Game, where I remember an episode when Jack and Victor come over to Toronto to visit Jack's daughter.  Anyway, they go to an Ice Hockey match and a player slams into the glass.  It shatters and after the old guys wipe all the debris from their jackets, Jack pipes up "... would you look at that, they're all padded and everything!!!".

Best Regards,
Cal :)

Only 6 months?  Seems lenient! 

I cannot get into Still Game, I tried it and wanted to like it, but I think being a half Scot who never lived North of the border, some of the humour is lost on me. 

Maybe I could try to watch a bit of an episode in the 10 minute delay to the start of the races  :o  I did find it odd adjusting last year, it's only 10 minutes but it felt a lot longer.

Nice relaxed/composed explanation there Andy!  :DD

I did like this quote in the comments though .... "The only thing tougher than rugby is war!!!!!!"  :good:

My brother in law played Rugby in the Navy (Rosyth, Portsmouth and everywhere in between).  Some days when he came to visit with black eyes, stud marks, wounds .... he looked like he'd been in a war!!!!

Used to love watching my son play rugby, it might have only been under 14's but when he went in there was no mercy, an animal, but he could take it as well, he got taken out so hard once it totally winded him, the ref stopped the game to check on him, all he said to the ref was, "I'm ok thanks sir, that was a heck of a tackle wasn't it." Then he got up and carried on running.

If the average rugby player was 250-300lbs, you might see them using protective gear as well ;)

I wouldn't waste any time assessing what he was wearing, I would be RUNNING LIKE HELL!!! in the opposite  direction (oh yes!! ... while screaming like a little girl).  :DD

"Screaming like a little girl" has a bit of special meaning for me; are you by any chance a fan of the TV show "Chuck"?
