So Fox should be live. I am disappointed that they have the rights, but will have to make do, or watch in french who have extensive coverage.
Last year 1/2 of the broadcast was from SpeedTV, the 2nd half from the BBC feed, so some strange things go on

Good luck

You're right - I just checked F1's official website and the race does indeed start at 1:00pm CDT, so it looks like it will be live after all.

Grrr! I cant watch this pre race coverage-5 mins of coverage and 5 mins of adverts! Bbc wasnt like this!!

No prizes for guessing what's wrong with it...

Actually, this is not the original picture. Someone told me that it was and I bought it.

I'm not normally a Jacques basher, but he's been really critical of Alonso's teammates while he was at Renault this weekend, saying that he's not had a good benchmark teammate etc. So, those people would be Trulli, Fisichella, Piquet, Grosjean (who he's been most critical of) and, ehm, Villeneuve???

Easy victory for bieber, red bull is very obviously the fastest car again. Hopefully Alonso and Hamilton can hold off the much faster RB of webbo

Massa :s

Awesome racing, with Nico being told to save fuel and tyres. Great, that is what F1 should be about. Saving tyres and fuel. Yep.

Well, the tyre part I don't have a problem with, it is like breaking in F1, if you don't know how to brake, you lose your brakes in 5 laps, with tires it is the same, if you don't know what you're doing, you lose your tires way before everyone else, the gas conservation, well, that is on his team, supposedly they can figure out exactly how much fuel your car will need, if they don't do it right, they pass the buck to theor driver and ask him to conserve fuel.

Never to such degree as now.
