F1 - 2016 Chinese Grand Prix

[gofast182]

F1 heads to China this weekend with two of the big stories being the return to the [much loved] 2015 qualifying format after quite a fiasco and the return of Fernando Alonso after being cleared by FIA medical staff. Also interesting is that Lewis Hamilton was handed a gird spot penalty for a gearbox change which means he can only start from 6th at best. If he is unable to win from 6th Rosberg will have a commanding lead in the WDC race.

I also see NBC is returning to "channel roulette". Switching around in order to make it harder to find. I don't even know if I get "NBC Sports Live Extra". God, how I miss Speed Channel coverage.

At least the qualifying and race are on NBC-SN. My DVR will capture those for sure.

At least TSN keeps it on at least one of its five channels, which are grouped together on my satellite system. I can at least give them credit for that. Oh, and last race, they didn't cut to commercial the second someone went into the pit lane. I swear that TSN has a device that turns on the commercial as soon as the first pit limiter is activated.

I don't see how it is channel hopping, FP1 and FP3 are streamed online like they always do. Everything else is on NBCSN.
