When it comes to F1. Nothing is free. While you might have FTA coverage. It will undoubtedly be ruined by all the advertisements needed to pay for the license fee.
I'm Currently watching via the nbc-sn app, on my iPad, and it's superb. It's also available on NBC sports live extra via their website.

Why there isn't one of those modern foam barriers at that point? Every year someone hits there...

I'm already tired of the retro camera angle used by FOM lately. The normal top mounted camera as used by Hamilton and Ricciardo this session (FP3) is so much better. All the retro one does is show the bumpyness.

And brakes failure. Team orders in Monaco, crash in Spain. Punctures and fuel problem directly connected to going off track in Canada and above mentioned punctures (target position) . BTW if someone is quicker and better it's not bad lack, crashes, poor starts and poor pace aren't either.
Brakes failure (assuming you mean Austria) was Nico's fault, he didn't manage them properly, not bad luck. Team orders is also not bad luck, it meant he was too slow.
Brake by wire failure is not Nico's fault. As everybody knows, without the ers braking the rear brakes are too small for prolonged use. Certainly the failure only occured towards the end of the race and would have been sudden as if it had been a long time occurence then Lewis would have went by a lot sooner and Nico would have been lucky to make the end of the race.
If it was a brake by wire failure as Toto Wolff said then the brakes would have been completely gone, instead they were "marginal" as he stated. They were marginal because they were overused because Nico was compensating for a tire disadvantage compared to LH.

Sounds like another gearbox failure for Vettel. Another 5-place grid penalty?

Radar looks like it should miss the circuit bar a bit of light drizzle.
