Ok, who else is up for the start.

The "Green Bottles" song came to mind.

Unfortunately, I'm on plebvision (the poll tax TV version), which I've just watched.
I would have watched it live, had I had the opportunity.

Superb bbc titles let down by annoying main presenters and average race content.

I too watched it on BBC and is it just me or have the graphics gotten smaller? My eye test on Friday said my prescription is now slightly too strong but even factoring this I think the numbers were too hard to read. Also Pissed that BBC once again put the winner on the front page of the news before they'd shown the race.

I thought the race itself was rather exciting apart from at the very front.

I woke up at around 6am and decided to use twitter on my phone to bring myself up to date with news leading up to the start of the race. However, by the time I got to race start time and saw how few cars were on the grid, I decided to just keep running through twitter to save myself the trouble of getting up. I effectively watched the race via twitter in 10 mins flat. I don't think I've missed a race in 25 years so this is highly unusual...

All I can say is that I hope we have all drivers (esp. Alonso) back in their cars at the next race and the sooner McLaren are up to speed the better for everyone. Painful to watch at present...

That pissed me off so much last year I put a complaint in. Needless to say, they don't give a toss.

I really enjoyed the race, the presentation and the result, and I'm sure I will enjoy every other race as well.
Don't fancy the really big bill I would have to pay Sky to watch F1 (not interested in all the other sport channels but would have to pay for them to get F1) - and don't want to watch it in German on RTL- but that would be better than watching Sky I suppose - so well done BBC

Depends if you have an existing Sky HD package - I don't subscribe to Sky Sports but I get Sky Sports F1 HD because I have the HD package. I think this only applies to existing subscribers though.

The Sky coverage and commentary is still quite a bit better than the BBC. Hopefully the content will be worthy of the coverage soon!
