According to Wiki, it is at the crossroads of Eastern Europe and Western Asia. And to be honest, they have been playing in UEFA football competitions for a long time now. And taken part in Eurovision, so nothing new.

Re: 2016 Formula 1 Season Thread

I really want to see wheel to wheel racing at the front with the sort of overtakes Vestappen has been doing. HAM and VET are capable of that IF they have cars that can race.

Merc management have made it quite clear that they dont want too much inter team racing on Sundays with their very boring call that drivers must use the same strategies.

If ROS can carry on his recent form there could be an upset, somehow i don't think that will pan out though. i don't think ROS is championship material though. Fast for sure, but I want a WDC who can drag a car kicking and screaming to win when its not really upt to the job......

Re: 2016 Formula 1 Season Thread

BBC ends contract to show F1 3 years early, from 2016 Channel 4 takes over showing 10 live races a year without adverts and hightlights on the rest.

Good. Glad licence payers money isn't wasted on the most boring 'sport' appealing to a minority of fanatics.

Personally speaking, and I'm probably in the minority here, I'd rather the BBC scrapped their coverage of Wimbledon early. Sick of it messing around with the schedules every year for 2 weeks. ITV do a decent enough job of the French Open.

Yes, they can get rid of Wimbledon too - only of interest to a few women. Some cricket and/or beach volleyball would be nice but that's probably asking too much.

Wimbledon is one of the "protected" sports as is the football final and others.

Just because you don't like don't think everyone likes your sports.

Personally, I don't care but at least I respect other peoples tastes and expectations hence why some sports made it onto the "protected" list.

TBH I didn't bother with BBCs poor excuse for coverage, I got Sky Sports F1HD to see F1.

Glad you reminded me 'cos i couldn't quite work out why I was paying my licenmce fee.

BBC6music is an ace radio station but the TV, well its sky or Discovery with a bit of Nat Geo thrown in for good measure and the comedy channel to watch impractical jokers

What do folks think the chances of the new Haas F1 team are......

the other things I looking to forward to in 2016.

Can McLaren Honda move forward or will the Manor Mercedes beat them...

Hoping Renault (Nee Lotus nee Benetton nee Toleman) get a decent livery
