F1 on NBCSN: Malaysia 2014
So I started writing a post about the upcoming Grand Prix of Malaysia, but after a little while, it disappeared.
Nope, not gonna apologize for that joke. There, I just provided you with more information about the missing airplane than the media did for two weeks. I won't even do more than mention in passing the ridiculous accusation that the F1 Circus is kicking grieving families out of hotels in Malaysia. Nope, I'll let Will Buxton, the fourth member of the Legendary Announce Team, deal with it.
As far as the track goes, I've written a lot about it in the past, and haven't been able to come up with much else to talk about regarding it, so we'll leave it be. Last year, we got the infamous "Multi 21" incident between Hannibal Vettel and Mark Webber. Two years ago was a one-hour long red flag due to rain... what will this year bring us? Well, it'll be hot and humid with a change of thunderstorms all weekend... in other words, exactly the same as always.
Whatever happens, the new-look Legendary Announce Team (minus The Varsha) will show us the usual good time... and here's when!
FRIDAY
Practice 2: 1a - 230a live
SATURDAY
Quals: 3a - 430a live
SUNDAY
Race: 230a - 5a live

Could be fun...will reliability still be the race-winning thing, or will speed and skill play their parts again? And will Red Bull continue their temper-tantrum all weekend? You cheated, you got caught, you got penalized... deal with it, Dieter.
That's all I gots... see ya on Friday!

Fortunately, we can get NBCSN even on the satellite here!
...but not in HD. Boo...
Ah well. Last race was fun, this race may well be fun too. Or at least rainy, and in F1 that's almost the same thing!
What do you think about the engine sound? Honestly, I don't mind, and if it's purely a matter of volume, it's not like the mikes aren't already dialed way back for TV use... just dial it back a touch less, and there you go. Maybe I've just never been to an actual race and thus I don't equate "that F1 sound" with "complete eardrum destruction"?

I love the new sound, m'self. The 18000rpm shriek of the V8s made them sound like the world's largest dentist drills. The V6Ts are all growls and pops and that turbo whine and you can hear tire squeal and you notice your eardrums aren't bleeding.
