Just a heads up you can add AppleTV to your Peacock subscription.

BTW for the new AppleTV people, watch Severance and Pluribus while you wait for next week. For a good one season comedy/murder mystery, watch After Party
WWII movie Greyhound with Tom Hanks is a good watch too.

I was just telling my coworker about Grey Hound at lunch today.
Apple TV has a lot of very good shows. Ted Lasso, Slow Horses, Silo, Bad Monkey, Foundation, Invasion, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, For All Man Kind, plus several more.

Tetris is a great movie also.
YES!! That was a very good movie.
Don't forget Masters of the Air. Some high-quality content on ATV.
Watching DTS, two episodes into the season this year. Every other word is an uncensored f-bomb. I don't remember it being this vulgar in past seasons…am I just imagining that?
🚨 2026 rule changes:

Potentially disastrous start to the season for Aston Martin.....
🚨| BREAKING:
— Fastest Pitstop (@FastestPitStop) March 2, 2026
Even though eleven teams are set to start the first Grand Prix of 2026, it is by no means a given that they will all finish the race.
According to @Motorsport_IT, @AstonMartinF1 could run only the minimum required amount of laps in Melbourne and retire the cars… pic.twitter.com/lnAVSeKzLS

Once again time for my glorious once a year post about F1
Australia starts this week with 11 teams for the first time since 2016.
Race Week is upon us so here is an update to my post from last 5 years.
---------------------------------------------------------
Quick Tutorial for Race Weekend (for those new to F1) - Non-Sprint Weekend
Friday (Day 1)
Q2 - (15 minutes) Top 16 remaining drivers again try to post fastest hot lap. Top 10 drivers advance to Q3. Remaining 6 drivers are then slotted 11-16 for the race based on fastest lap times in Q2 session.
Q3 - (13 minutes) Top 10 remaining drivers slotted 1-10 based on fastest lap times in Q3 session. "Pole position" awarded to fastest lap time posted in Q3 session. This was recently increased to 13 minutes.
Note: Drivers can attempt as many times as they are able within the time slot to record a fastest lap.
Sunday (Day 3)
Race - Drivers line up on starting grid based on qualifying results (and penalty times or grid places if assessed). Drivers perform a warm-up or "formation" lap to get into position. Lights out and race is underway!

Race Week is upon us so here is an update to my post from last 5 years.
---------------------------------------------------------
Quick Tutorial for Race Weekend (for those new to F1) - Non-Sprint Weekend
Friday (Day 1)
- Free Practice 1 and Free Practice 2 - This is a time for teams to test out the cars and all associated operations, and give the driver's time to reacquaint with and get used to the race track and practice doing "hot laps" or full-speed laps. Fastest lap times are recorded and noted for the drivers for each session.
- Note: FP1 is often used for testing other drivers in either a reserve or testing capacity, giving teams the opportunity to evaluate future F1 talent and maintain proficiency for assigned reserve and test drivers.
- Free Practice 3 - Final tuneup for the drivers to prepare for qualifying and note any remaining issues with the car. Fastest lap times are recorded and noted for the drivers for each session.
- Note: FP sessions last 60 minutes.
- Qualifying - There are three rounds of qualifying (Q1, Q2, Q3) to determine the starting order for the race on Sunday.
- With 11 teams now in Formula 1, 22 drivers will be taking part in qualifying.
- Changes to qualifying noted below in bold.
Q2 - (15 minutes) Top 16 remaining drivers again try to post fastest hot lap. Top 10 drivers advance to Q3. Remaining 6 drivers are then slotted 11-16 for the race based on fastest lap times in Q2 session.
Q3 - (13 minutes) Top 10 remaining drivers slotted 1-10 based on fastest lap times in Q3 session. "Pole position" awarded to fastest lap time posted in Q3 session. This was recently increased to 13 minutes.
Note: Drivers can attempt as many times as they are able within the time slot to record a fastest lap.
Sunday (Day 3)
Race - Drivers line up on starting grid based on qualifying results (and penalty times or grid places if assessed). Drivers perform a warm-up or "formation" lap to get into position. Lights out and race is underway!
- Points are awarded only to the Top 10 finishers in the race. Points count toward both driver's and constructor's championships.
- Points awarded are 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1 for Top 10 finishers.

----------------------------
Sprint Weekend Race Rules 2026 (6 Sprint Races in 2026)
----------------------------
- Friday - FP1 and Sprint Qualifying take place
- Sprint Qualifying (SQ) session determines order of Sprint Race on Saturday.
- Three rounds: SQ1 - 12 minutes, SQ2 - 10 minutes, SQ3 - 8 minutes
- Elimination groups are same as regular qualifying (17-22, 11-16, 1-10) Saturday - Sprint Race and Race Qualifying
- Sprint Race is roughly 1/3 length of full race, therefore drivers should not have to pit.
- Points are given for top 8 places (8 to 1).
- Sunday - Race
- Monaco will not require a two-stop minimum this year.
Thanks for that wrap-up. I don't follow F1 nearly as much as I did in the 70's, and there are so many changes that I have had difficulty understanding the formats. This really clears things up for me.
This week
Practice 1: Thursday at 7:30pm CST
Practice 2: Thursday at 11:00pm CST
Practice 1: Thursday at 7:30pm CST
Practice 2: Thursday at 11:00pm CST
He forgot an asterisk where the regulations changed so much this year, that the cars are 3 seconds slower in testing laps, the drivers hate them, and no one knows who is going to be good other than Ferrari.
Anyone feel like the Bahrain GP is in jeopardy at this point? Maybe even Saudi the following week?
What do you boys want for breakfast BBQ ?.....OK Chili.

Pirelli canceled their upcoming tire test and even if the bombings have stopped, who knows if the infrastructure will still be viable.
Also an F1 race seems like a pretty big target even if things have calmed down. Just looking at a map and previous missile/drone strikes it's well within range.

It looks like F1 is already looking at options
🚨 MAJOR CALENDAR ALERT ⚠️

Rising Middle East tensions threaten Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix in April.

WEC just canceled Qatar at the end of the month...
They need to move Bahrain and Saudi. Unlikely this will be resolved by then.
Earlier this morning the State Dept. ordered the evacuation of all non emergency personnel Kuwait, Iraq, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, and Jordan.
Forget the FIA, if I'm a driver I don't think you could convince me to race at Bahrain and Jeddah in 6 weeks.

Or you can just watch this video. Probably more exciting.....

Gets worse for Aston Martin. Can't drive more than 25 laps
🗣️ "That vibration is transmitted, ultimately into the drivers’ fingers."
— The Race (@wearetherace) March 5, 2026
Adrian Newey has admitted that the Aston Martin drivers feel they cannot do over a certain number of laps without causing themselves harm due to the car's vibration: pic.twitter.com/rfy0zu3wgD
Team moral must be high....Flying halfway around the world and stating you can only do 15-25 laps of a race.
Newey confirms Aston Martin is likely to limit race laps due to severity of vibrations in the car impacting the drivers.
— Chris Medland (@ChrisMedlandF1) March 4, 2026
Alonso says he can do no more than 25 consecutive laps before risking nerve damage, Stroll says 15 laps #F1 #AustralianGP https://t.co/60dKxXMRBb
I wonder if they've tried balancing the tires and wheels. Seriously though this is not a good look for Adrian Newey. He's kind of the godfather race car design.
So I'm relatively new to F1, but this year seems like it's going to be an absolute **** show. Has this happened before?
