    Does anyone like what has happened to F1-Live? Looks like we are going to get about 70% less news, if that much. Any suggestions for alternate sites?

    Not to worry; they're coming up with an F1-Nascar themed show to replace anything left that might still have some value.......

    The ESPN site actually has two news sections, but I still don't
    like it very much. I probably use pitpass or autosport from
    now on.

    Actually, it has been going down hill since ESPN first bought it. This is the final blow. I supposed next you'll see links in it for NCAA Basketball.

    I can see it now...

    Kansas vs Marquette matchup overshadows opening of F1 Season!

    Glad to hear I wasn't the only one, although I am going to miss viewing their classy advertisements, like the Bugs Bunny suspenders, the can opener that worked using E.S.P., and the mens deoderant that smelled like money.

    Oh come on... F1 is a tabloid style sport... most sports in between events are just celebrity gossip for men...

    I like the new design, because there appears to now be a field where the author's name is supposed to be for each article, although it only now appears as "ESPNF1 Staff".

    The old site had no mention of the author, and I feel if authors mentioned their name, there would be more accountability in what "news" stories they write about and less bogus stories with no truth whatsoever.

    the newly revised site is absolutely horrible - also don't like speed tv site, it's late copied/ pasted news from the more relevant sites with bias

    I also like this one:

    www.manipef1.com

    Well laid out and usually up to date. Thanks to Dave (VIZSLA) for that one.

    Thanks Barbazza, I checked out Mapipe and really like it. Clean, easy to navigate and find what one is looking for. The Gallery is nice and the Data is well laid out.

    Any recommendations on a F1 news website optimised for use on mobile phones (htc magic/mytouch 3g)?

    Since when in the last decade has ESPN reported anything
    about F-1?

    On their iPhone app, the ESPN "coverage" of F-1 consists of
    posting the top three finishers from the last Grand Prix. The
    top three from Abu Dabi are still there in fact.

    On a Grand Prix weekend, ESPN rarely (if ever) mentions
    F-1 results on Sportscenter. They're more concerned with
    "stick and ball" sports and to them NASCAR is racing so why
    bother reporting anything else?

    SpeedTV's site as Carol says, is usually little more than
    reposting what is available on Autosport. Too bad as
    SpeedTV used to have a decent news section but checking
    it lately, it seems to be the Danica Patrick/NASCAR watch
    site now.

    A good racing feature site is motorsport.com. Well done
    articles and lots of pics available perhaps not so much
    news as editorial but a good reporting site.

    Espn bought f1 live a while ago. It took longer than I thought to completely ruin it...
