    ****ing-A!!

    When I came across the corn hole tournament on ESPN I was laughing my ass off. I almost think that's worse than when they used to show Magic The Gathering tournaments.

    F1 OTT to launch in May for the Spanish Grand Prix is the latest I've heard about that. If your local provider isn't showing qualifying on ESPN maybe it's on one of the Spanish language channels, or someone will have a livestream posted here on FChat

    ESPN's coverage of F1 is a disaster...and probably related to the overall left leaning politics. Rugby and Curling don't use fossil fuels so that gets preference over F1.

    I'm no fan of ESPN or their politics, but they did manage (with Mother's) to bring us something many of us have been clamoring for for years --- ad free coverage of the races. Speed, Fox, NBC never did that. The problem with the listing is annoying, but I'm not sure we even know that's ESPN's fault. The ad breaks in the first race were bad, they've fixed that.

    Wow...just wow...

    ESPN royally fudged up the first week. Since then, they have shown every practice, qualifying, and race...the races commercial free.

    They are making content available on demand.

    They are scheduled to broadcast all of the above this week.

    Blame your local broadcaster or the poor sod who has to make the listings... not some liberal conspiracy.

    I see the race is going to be shown 3 times on Sunday. I can’t recall Speed or NBCSN ever showing it 3x

    on Cox I got practice 3, NO Qualy, and the race. This is lame!

    I don't see an on demand viewing of qualy on espn.com just the schedule of events. Who is responsible for this programing not getting to us the local cable provider or ESPN?

    I have everything available via sling. So...I guess it comes down to your local provider.

    ESPN is cheaping out on F1 fans. That's the simple fact. And FIA is probably glad since they'll be launching their own streaming (for a fee) later in the year. I can live with commercials, but I miss not getting FP2 and qualifying. At this point I don't want to have to run my television through a computer and then find a way to record the events so I can watch them at a reasonable hour. At that point I'll just look up the lap time results and only watch the race.

    Plenty of people have posted the scheduled broadcasting of every practice session, qualifying, and the race...all live.

    I have far better access to the content than I did with NBCSN...both live and available on demand.

    The only way I see them "cheaping out on F1 fans" is by purchasing content instead of creating it...but many would argue that Sky's coverage is better...so even that is a positive.

    you can buy a Roku express from amazon for $29, plug it in to your tv, and watch all practices, qualifying and race live or delayed

    Image Unavailable, Please Login

    As long as your cable provider gives you espn, you can access all their content this way
