I see everyone is kicking off about the extra spoilers on the Ducati bikes.

Japanese often struggle when it comes to innovation. They don't think the same way as European engineers.

Bit disappointed in Miller throwing his seat off mid pack, could imagine the frustration but that was a dangerous move.
Happiness is not a destination. It is a way of life.

All the teams except Yamaha have complained and the matter will now be decided by the FIA court of appeals , with the result of the race likely to be changed if the complaint is upheld . I don't think anything will come of it this season ,the areas concerned are outside the scope of the current regulations , they may change the rules to outlaw them in future seasons .

They can change the rules during the season, they've done that in the past.

But there's no way they would alter yesterday's result.

New phone contract means full access to the BT Sport app, so I'll get to watch the GPs this year.

I was a little late, but managed to get online an hour or two later. Fired it up no problem, found the race, started watching.

Then I decided to try and cast it to the TV. It wasn't working for some Huawei-related reason, but then the app stopped. No problem, I'll reload it.

Only when I do reload it I'm confronted with the massive chuffing headline of the race result!

I was f****ng livid.

Enjoyed watching it, but I'd rather not have known the result beforehand. I know there's a spoiler free section on the website, not so much on the app where I'll be watching it though.

Oh well.

That sucks Itchy!

If you set up a BT account to have the BT Sport on your phone you should also be able to watch it from a laptop or tablet. It is much more stable streaming BT Sport from my Laptop to the TV rather than from my Phone

I'll have a look at sticking it on my tablet mate. If I can remember my password!

New phone is quite big though, so if not I'll survive!
