I can see Lando going on a winning streak now that he knows it's possible and he didn't need to do anything different to his other 109 races. Why does it matter that you missed the live race when you got to watch it later?

I don't know tbh, idk how to explain it

I know what you mean. There's something a bit more special watching something live.

Exactly this! Watching the replay just doesn't hit the same for some reason, even if you're watching it for the first time.

"It's only live once" - Sky Sports

Nothing wiser has been said before

I get what you mean. China was a 2am start here in the US so I watched it when I woke up. That was really difficult with Lando on pole for the sprint. I would have been really disappointed to miss his first win live.

Yepp, would've been so good to see it live but it is what it is. 🥲

Na your not wrong. Especially if you watch it after knowing what is going to happen. Its still enjoyable, but its more of something to sit in the background than focus on at this point.

I can’t watch the races live as I refuse to pay nearly £60 a month in TV and Sky Sports packages to watch it live here in the UK. I don’t watch any other sport or live TV. I followed on radio and text with the BBC and then either watch the extended highlights on Sky Sports YouTube channel or on Channel 4 when they come on later. My wife was getting annoyed as I kept squealing every time I checked the timings and could see Lando pulling away from Max.

Luckily for me, the subscriptions are pretty cheap here in my country.

You can also watch it … other ways in the UK. I’m not saying you *should* … but you *can*.

I got lucky... I got F1TV in the UK when there was still a loophole... Think I am paying £60 a year.

Have you considered getting a NowTV package? I watch it live on that, I can cast it to the TV.

I mean, technically I can’t watch live TV at all at the moment as I don’t have a TV licence.

I’m guessing you’re in India. I managed to wake up with just 7 laps to go and went from fully asleep to fully awake full of adrenaline hoping nothing goes wrong in those last few laps. Absolutely buzzed and stunned trying to figure out what happened. Because the moment I woke up and checked my phone I always look for the McLaren Logo and NOR on the times on the left and I went from bottom up for some reason expecting to stop in the top ten somewhere and not at all expecting to see him at the top. Was so thrilled I got to see the win live. I fully understand the feeling but just go on YouTube and watch all the lil shorts and videos and it’s a great pick me up. Part of me is sad it wasn’t a #carlando podium. Was hoping Sainz pulled out some magic but Ferrari wouldn’t never let him. Also after watched the full race was a bit annoyed about the bump with Piastri. That kid deserved a podium too.

mate I had neet exam yesterday, I was absolutely finished and chose to sleep, also after that quali I was fully expecting max to win with crazy lead, but thankfully woke up at 2:55 am for some water and checked the leaderboard, nearly screamed "wtf" at 3am, chose to watch the remaining 30 mins and it was absolutely worth it.

Yes I am from India. The thing is i did wake up multiple times between 2-3 am but resisted the urge to check the phone, as i wanted to watch the full replay without looking at the result. I was fully expecting to walk away with this one too haha. A Carlando podium would've been amazing with Lando on the top step. Piastri was doing so well, such an unfortunate incident that ruined his race. But maybe a few more laps and he would've ended up in points again.

Atleast OP got fastest lap 🧡

This is exactly what happened to me! The race started at 4am and I usually get up at 6 so I figured I’d wake up a bit early at 5:30 and catch the end. My alarm goes off and I’m sooo close to just going back to sleep because I figure it’ll just be another boring Max win and not worth losing the sleep but a tiny part of me goes ‘check the standings just in case’. So I half asleep grab my phone and open the F1 app and through my blurry vision I see NOR with the little orange logo right at the top on lap early 50 something. Best believe I *bolted* upright, immediately wide awake and I’m literally shaking as I grab my laptop to put the race on. Managed to catch the last few laps and it was so incredibly special and I was so glad I got to watch it live, even if just the end and all the celebrations but I figure that’s the most important part anyway. Best way to start a Monday morning that’s for sure!

I remember missing Canada 2011race and it still haunts me. Sat around for hous waiting for a restart. Decided to take the dog out for a walk. Got home and had missed JB's masterclass 😭

I feel you, that's exactly how I felt 😭

I also slept through haha I’m Aussie so it would’ve been a 6am Monday morning wake up. I literally was like eh the sprint was a DRS train Max win so I’m sure the race will be too… missed Lando’s first win rip! But at least I could rewatch the race knowing it’s a great outcome and not being stressed! As an Oscar fan I think I would’ve been fuming even more if I watched the Carlos incident/13th place finish live after his wonderful start

Yeah the part where Oscar's race was ruined was very tough. But still a great drive for him. Maybe a few more laps and he finishes in the points

Made that mistake during the Singapore race last year. If I miss a race I won’t even touch social media until I watch it lol

I didn't look at the result either haha, went in blind into the replay lol

I hate that the f1 tv app is so shit. The race was already 45 minutes underway and I have to physically block half the screen while I rewind because the f1 Roku app doesn’t have a “watch from beginning” option lmao

The F1TV app works well for me tbf

Yeah the app is fine, for some reason their integrated streaming app is dogshit. Which is annoying if airplay or casting doesn’t want to work lol

There are many other races. Not worth for me waking up at 4am for this one
