I'll be Gran Turisming until the early hours, crashing on the sofa then getting up to watch qual live (but recording also, just in case!). If anyone fancies some PS3 early hours racing give me a shout. Race and build up live of course.
Part of the magic isn't it! Season opener, alarm clock (not that I actually wait for it to wake me up, the body clock is pretty good at that).Being in the states, I love the Aussie schedule.
The season starts a day earlier for us as FP1 is at 9:30 on Thursday night.
And I actually enjoy 2 AM wakeup calls for F1 racing.
Wrong thread me thinks not that you don't provide a valid point though.Having looked it up it would seem that as a new customer it would cost me from £30.25 to get Sky Sports F1™ HD. This seems to equate to £363 per year (with no other sport). Alternatively I could go for the Sky Sports F1™ for £40 a month, also know as £480 a year. For how many races, is it 10? It doesn't take a genius to work out how much per race that is.
Or I could spend about half what Sky are charging to install a satellite dish to watch it on RAI (Italy) or RTL (Germany) for free, listening to Five Live or whatever.
As a further thought I could spend that money at Silverstone and watch the extended highlights for the rest of the year.
Sensible time for me I'm afraid.
I'm far too old for pulling all nighters or getting up at ridiculous o'clock in the morning.
I get precious little sleep as it is with my daughter, averaging around 6 very interrupted hours a night.
So don't expect the site to be updated until long after the race is over
Yes, it has already been mentioned elsewhere and I was aware of the implications as soon as it became clear what the BBC would be doing.Actually that's just made me think - won't the whole Sky thing affect traffic to the site? It'll be pretty quiet here from the UK dwellers.

Nothing I can do about it so there is no point worrying.

Yeah. I would say it'd be a good idea to setup a BBC only thread that people could bookmark, and then spoilers to be banned, but I know if I was a BBC viewer I wouldn't even bother risking it because there will be 1 or 2 who think it is funny to ruin it all.
I think they should make that a bannable offence!
Most people will just avoid the forum until they've seen the race/result.
