Univision Deportes Network 869 on dish has not had a single commercial. I have switched for every freakin' commercial during the race and haven't missed jack!

thanks man. will make that switch from now on

Vintage schumacheresque win by Vettel. Passing is done in the pit stop. Good debut for Giovanazzi. Kudos to Kvyat, he has bounced back from a dismal season.
Great race.

Why is Hamilton getting booed? Maybe I have forgotten something from last season?

Wow!
Den & webbo are getting along.
Last but not the least, Great Job done by Ocon. Hamilton didn't seemed too displeased with the result; he was very graceful on the podium

I watched in fits and starts...thnks Taz and some other streams on youtube...
glad I stayed up late till 130am...I've never been a Vettel fan, but anybody but Merc will do for now.

Ferrari better send a nice gift to Verstappen too. Along with Merc strategy fail, Vettel's driving - tht stint behind Max was a game changer,

anybody else think that for being called the boss, and being such an accomplished racer, Hamilton whined a bit too much about a lot of things in the race?

We weren't spoiled on overtakes, but Ocon delivered a nice one.

Тhe race wasn'tsomething great but I saw some pretty interesting overtaking manouvers. These new cars are promising.

Big thumbs down for hiding the timing though! Those americans must be crazy if they really consider making it paid access only!

Well we might be in for an interesting battle between Vettel and Hamilton but the racing itself was as disappointing as I expected with high downforce and endurance tyres.

The field spread after 5 laps or so reminded me of pre-2009. I don't think it's promising that Hamilton was 1.5 secs a lap faster than Verstappen but couldn't get close enough to even attempt a pass.

I can't see it getting more exciting on the more aero dependant tracks we have coming up. We might need to see extended DRS zones to make the racing bearable.

I watched the race on NBC and then switched to Univision Deportes after the 11th lap because of the incessant commercials. Folks, it's time to brush up your Spanish language skills. After all, you probably spent many years in the school taking Spanish lessons.

I hope it was just a technical glitch... at one point the leaderboard was shown with all the colours mixed up (white for Ferrari, red for Red Bull etc.) so all was not running smoothly.
