OK, I want to be sure to catch this race. I watched practice and Qualifying, and the race is listed as also on my cable channel 81 (NBCSP) and I cannot find any other listings on any other channels.

Is the race being aired on the same channel as practice and qualifying? Or, is the race being aired on any other channels?

The last few races I've followed what my TV guide said, and turned on just to catch a spoiling race recap, and missed the race live. I don't want to miss the live race.

The damn stewards need to back off and quit screwing up races. They penalized Grosjean for a great pass on Massa. They won't be happy until no one passes.

Quite simply the most idiotic drive through penalty I have seen since Sepang 2002 when Schumacher drove into Montoya....and Montoya got penalized.

Stewards should be ashamed and never let within 100 yards of an F1 race.

Hamilton FTMFW!

48 pts. still a huge margin given the circumstances.

Ferrari needs to improve beyond barely keeping up w/ the other contending teams.

Coverage on NBC is much better than it ever was on Speed(vision). At least they give us split-screen on NBC. Be careful what you wish for, unless you want to be paying for F1 on a pay-per-race basis. Enjoy what we get, it's actually quite good.

I would happily pay for commercial free coverage and access to multiple onboard cameras, etc...

Really stupid penalty on Grosjean. Happy with the drive from Kimi, given his starting position he really didnt do badly at all.

Still hoping he pulls this one out and wins the championship this year.

Should've penalize Grosjean on the collision with Button and cut the corner and gained an advantage. But not the fantastic pass on Massa on Turn 4.

Not sure if it was because the fan base is relatively smaller than Football and NASCAR. NBC or whoever should've start a dedicated or premium service with no-commercial coverage like SkySportsF1. Even on race weekends only with a nominal fee.

I'd gladly pay and enjoy non-stop action.

NBC is better than Speed we got last year. But still decades behind what BBC or Sky can provide.

Overdue win for Hamilton! Should've win in Silverstone! So happy for him!

Ferrari is falling behind in development race. So far we have not seen the benefit or effect on Pat Fry joining Ferrari a few years ago.

Agreed. And they gave him a 20 second penalty for that. Didn't change his 6th place finish, though.

There's usually some in excitement in every F1 race, but it's time that they either force Hungary to update this track or dump it from the schedule. It's bad enough that there's few chances to pass, but if the stewards are going to make it even harder, then this is clearly a track from the wrong century.

while the track makes for a boring race, it must be tons of fun to actually drive on

The track was awesome and fun in F1 2012.

Fortunate that didn't change the standing. But the 20 second penalty shouldn't be imposed. The drive through should've for the button collison. period.

Oh well, no consistency from the stewards again.
