I can't watch 507 or 517 and the Sky Sports pack costs about £1,000,000 a month if I remember correctly.

SnoopZ · 31-01-2015, 23:07

I am on XL but according to virgins channel listing 507 is a premium channel.

Currently paying £64 a month for tv xl with Sky Sports hd, a TiVo and a v+hd box in another room, 152mb broadband and anytime phone calls. Might be worth you giving them a ring!

I pay about £68 (I think) for the same but without sky sports and oly evening and weekend calls.
How did you get that deal?

Phone them up on 150.

When the price rises were announced last year I phoned Virgin up to say I was leaving and Sky were offering a half price for twelve months deal for Virgin switchers so they matched it. Shop around, see what's currently on offer elsewhere then give them a ring.

I hope so.

No way. COME ON ALONSO AT MCLAREN!

andy_m · 02-02-2015, 16:32

If Lewis ties up that seat, with Rosberg already under a long term contract, Alonso is going to have to hope McLaren come good or he's done.

Just watching the testing highlights. Red Bull are running a camouflaged livery to disguise some of their aero work, so they obviously think they have something very decent to hide, although Adrian Newey was beating his usual drum about being over-regulated. I think some of the cars are stunning. The new Lotus looks amazing in the traditional livery, but see it against the McLaren and it's incredible how tightly packed the Honda power unit is in the McLaren - so narrow. Ron Dennis has said that at some point the livery will change as well.

bbxxl · 02-02-2015, 20:07

Ron has now said the livery will change when they get a new sponsor, not before.

andy_m · 02-02-2015, 21:17

He originally said "Our 2015 livery will change, but I'm not going to say when..."

If it's going to be when they finally sign a title sponsor then I guess that'll be never!

Red Bull have turned up with only one front wing, so Daniil Kvyat, having broken it, has run today without any front wing!

Something very odd going on at Red Bull I reckon.

bbxxl · 02-02-2015, 22:07

One wing does seem strange - maybe they think they don't need them, it didn't se to do Nico much harm when he broke his last year.

MalteseFalcon · 02-02-2015, 22:36

Is there any actual live streaming of the testing? Highlights on F1 channel are rubbish, hardly get to see any of the cars. Just a lot of talking to drivers.
