F1 on TV: Singapore 2017
It's a good thing that Formula 1 cars don't tend to leak fluids very much. Singapore takes a dim view of littering or mussing the appearance of their city-state, and really... do we need to see Lewis Hamilton getting caned? Don't answer that. Here's the track map for the 2017 Grand Prix of Singapore:
This track has two party tricks, of course. First, it's a street circuit, running around and through the Marina district of Singapore. Unlike Monaco though, it actually has some legitimate straightaways that allow a car to stretch its legs. The circuit is also wide enough to let a couple of cars next to each other at some points. The other party trick is that it's a night race, the site of the very first in F1 history. There's some hassle involved with that for the teams, but it's all worthwhile when you get to see the cars under the lights.
We all know that I'm not a huge fan of Ferrari, but under Singapore's lights I'll be damned if that red doesn't just look gorgeous.
Speaking of gorgeous, the Legendary Announce Team will be on the job as usual! Here's their broadcast schedule:
Friday
Practice 2: 730a - 9a live on NBCSN
Saturday
Quals: 8a - 930a live on CNBC
Sunday
2017 Grand Prix of Singapore: 7a - 930a live on NBCSN
All times are allegedly Pond Central. And, of course, sometime afterwards there'll be a F1Update! of some quality level that is, as of yet, undetermined. See ya then!
