Really, that is your only option besides either torrents or TV. The Iplayer won't be in HD though.

man this is last season all over again, RB racing is a full second ahead of the pack. McLaren seemed strong but I expected this, they always tend to play down that they are slow and then pull a crazy lap.
Ferrari wtf? PETROV, double wtf?!? Ferrari and Alonso need to pull it together.. 107% rule is bad for struggling F1 teams, get rid of it.. It will be a RB racing 1,2 tomorrow.. Forza Ferrari! |

The 107% rule is for safety. Think slow cars on the highway as the reason speed limits are still so low. Modern cars can go faster while maintaining safety but when you put in the slower moving vehicles it becomes much more dangerous. Also, if you can't make the 107% on a short lap like Melbourne thenyour are doomed for some of the longer tracks like Spa. Its also a form of quality control. Petrov was a huge surprise. He performed very well, definitely more deserving of his position. Also, Perez and Sauber in general did fantastic. If not Renault, then it looks like Sauber will be the dark horse this year for the top teams.

I like Speed's analysis on how Mclaren's approach on the new season. That they took the 2010 MP4-25 and test the Pirelli with it. which the only "unknown variables" will be the tires. Then later in the Winter testing, they finally rolled out the MP4-26, which tires are no longer an "unknown variable", so the team and engineers can pin point exactly where to improve in the new chassis. Now think back...it all make sense.

Funny to see Hamilton shaking his head and Weber sitting there stone faced after hearing Vettel set his pole lap without using KERS.

I really think this was probably more what happened, and Vettel didn't correct him just to not look like a dick on TV.

BTW the red bull kers system isn't broken it has been specifically designed in a way that they don't operate it in qualifying. The speculation is that it is a smaller less complicated system designed for use solely at the start.

I just turned on Speed and they introduced James Allen doing the post qualifying interview. I didn't know he was still hosting. This was a nice surprise.

Im British so used to the BBC programme.
Im in the USA at the moment so watching it on Speed. The amount of advertisements is Appalling! and the commentators are not a touch on ours!. Disappointed in the programming so far! |

I don't think America can watch anything at all without the commercials to pay for Bernie's high broadcasting fee... something is still better than nothing....

I agree on the BBC coverage. Definitely more insightful. I swear one of the Speed announcers called it KERVS at one point.
Not a bad result from this race. I think we have some interesting races to come with the enhancements. Petrov was a big surprise and he was able to bring it home. So well done to him again. Perez was also on fire. If Heidfeld doesn't work out in a few races for Renault, I wonder if they will give the drive to Senna for a few. It would be nice to see what he could do with a decent car.

Btw. Screw Speed for showing that Cars 2 advert right as the drivers were getting out of their cars. That should have waited til after the trophies were handed out.
