So ... whos watching? what do you think?

yup, praying it doesn't rain,

I'm watching, looks like it should be another good one, hopefully it'll all be decided on the track today, not in the Steward's office...

And as for rain, I think it'll ake it a bit more interesting....

Im watching part (all if interesting) then back to SVA prep

Hoping for intermittant rain

Friend suggested that should randomly water parts of the track during the race. Give teams a 5 minute warning and then place an amount of water from mist to downpour.

i'm curious whats going to happen - if it gets boring i'll go in the garage and fit brake lines.

woohoo - rain in 30 mins

Me and SWMBO are watching - Is there a night race again this year?

me too, rain is the key to this race

plenty of overtaking so far .... seems ker's has some use to make it entertaining (overtake on kers on the start / finish and then get retaken by a normal car later on)

Love this race, much action, overtaking and rain


Looking at BBCs web tv here in sweden. Love it, good quality

Now thats water ......

some interesting tyre choices up to the stop.

Can't see how they'll restart this.

More like Formula 1 power boats
I wonder if they have holes in the floor to let the rain out ?

Almost as bad as the A1 was on the way to the Newark show a couple of years ago !

Weather and personal driver favorites aside one of the best GP's in years to watch.

Lots of overtaking all down the field, Weber and Hamilton providing more entertainment in 2 laps than we have seen in the last 2 seasons.

Maybe a brighter future for F1 as a spectator sport ?

said for a while this should be a good season with the changes ..... seems to be proven in todays race. Just wish they'd say its over now so i can go get a shower and drink of tea. One advantage of ITV coverage was enforced tea breaks.

was pretty good race up to the stop. ferrari tyre decision for kimi seemed mad but nothing to lose really. understand reasons to stop, but think cars should be able to go in any decisions. as i have said before if its safe to go at 10mph then the guy brave enough or / and the car designed to go at 11mph will win and should. If you think its not safe as a driver then come into the pits!!!

Anyone else think that Eddie Jordan is an utterly useless pundit? He makes twice as many factual errors as Murray Walker and James Allen put together, doesn't recognise key drivers and team members, and goes off on a tedious tangent every time he's asked a straight forward question by Jake Humphrey. He also constantly contradicts Coulthard, who I think is pretty good.

Yeah, Eddie .J gets on my wick , he's tedious and too opinionated.

He's rude the way he cuts across D.C all the time, and trying upstage and hog the microphone time.

I posted about this last week!

I think it doesn't help that Jake does not have the clout and authority to manage the situation as Jim Rosenthal or Steve Rider would have.

Also I dont think Martin and Jonathon work well together yet, probably Martin thinks he should have been the main commentator with D.C alongside, which may have been OK, and more amusing like Parish/Cox , Jack Burnicle and Jamie Whitham



I hope that the BEEB tidy this up, as the regs seem to have made the racing more entertaining

my video decide to throw a wobblie and snapped the tape at the start of the prog,anyone know if it will be shown again?

It's on Freeview 301 now and probably repeated all night.

The only issue with Martin / DC combo is that Martin is (or was) DC's manager.
