Could've used it as an opportunity to promote the extra feeds to get a few more viewers on the on-board than usual. Nahhhh....:(
Normally I leave the On-Board mix on the second screen, but I had to go and hunt for the Hamilton on-board to follow what was happening - that's the first time I have done that I think. I was shouting at the screen as he rose through the ranks on the timing screen without seeing it on the World Feed
Bit OT (and a bit random) but Round 2 of Formula E has been postponed for 5 weeks basically so it can fit in with the busy schedule of the Prime Minister of Malaysia.

Eh? Has this been the normal Modus Operandi for DTM this season or have I just not noticing because more exciting championships have been racing?
BT have a habit of moving things around channels from BT Sport 2 to ESPN to BT Sport 1 to ESPN to BT Sport 2 again.....
Yet they never seem to move the 30 for 30 films off BT Sport 2 that they run day after day after day after day.....
So if like me, you enjoy DTM and the IndyCar series, its never on the same place as the last race. It gets irritating

They should just get it over with and rename ESPN to BT Sport 3...
Contractual obligations prevent them from doing that.
Quite the contrary actually.
When BT bought the ESPN channel operations, they also licenced the ESPN branding from ESPN Inc. but are able to terminate that licence at their discretion.
Personally, i think they've kept the ESPN branding around as people associate it with US sports and its where 90% of the US sport they have the rights for is shown.
So its makes sense to keep it ESPN.
Friend of my dad's has some questions about SSF1 on Virgin Media.
Is the HD channel available?
Do you get the same red button stuff you get on Sky for every session?
And finally do you get the race control online/mobile content?

Yes its in HD
Yes to race control
No idea about online & mobile content, sorry
So just your opinion. Thanks for clearing it up. I disagree (which is my opinion).
If you don't know that ESPN UK is now part of BT Sport, then you must have been off the planet for the last year
And as i said, clearly!! Its common knowledge. Big difference.
And, this i the F1 thread, not the BT thread, so lets allow the topic to get back on where is should be eh?
IMO ESPN shows a mixture of sports from various countries, it's hardly just US sports anymore. Plus ESPN shares a lot of content with the 2 main BT Sport channels now, i.e. I've seen live IndyCar stuff not just shown on ESPN, but on BT Sport 2 at times.

You can now login to the Sky Sports app with a Virgin Media login to access race control etc.

I do get the feeling Ben has to do all the work and DC is along for the ride.
Maybe the BBC are trying to recreate the Murray/Hunt dynamic - The above description could also be applied to that partnership!!
It's kinda like putting toothpaste back in the tube....never gonna happen!
He's fine as he is, he's been brought in for perspective not drama, leave that to Ben.
Ben blows his wad when someone drops 0.3 in the pits, it's a given he'll be in the clouds with close racing.
All three teams do a solid job.

Not a big deal but it does mean a 10 week gap between Round 1 and 2, which seems less than ideal.
Oh wow... Talk about stupid!
Why?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!

Why?
Why change what people already know and are used to for the sake of a change?
To me, and many others, ESPN = US, US sports. Why mess with it?
People know
Seriously?! We're gonna do this?
