Australian GP

Best thing about the BBC doing the coverage is.. No Adverts . ITV always managed to time the adds to converge with some of the best parts of the action.

I'm not the biggest fan of F1 at the best of times but it seems to be getting more out of touch each year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Night Train]

They should make them do the race using bog standard forecourt cars with KwikFit as the pit crew for all the teams!

ITV always managed to time the adds to converge with the action.

What action?

Seen more overtaking on a waltzer...

 

[mr Mag00]

is that a 6am race start or programme start when is the green light?

 

[marinyork]

7am with an hour of waffle.

Hmmm Trulli at the back is good for everybody on the grid wanting to make their way forwards. Big shame about Glock, shame the ferraris are the big winners.

And we haven't even started the season properly...

That looks good for Vettel too. Fairly good performance there. Also explains Heidfeld's distance further back compared to Kubica.

 

[Mr Pig]

So Button won then? Good for him. And what did I say about Hamilton? Man, it looks almost interesting enough to make me want to watch the highlights ;0)

F1 highlights, or go to a bike shop? Tune in next week to find out...

'What Will Pig Do?'

Nice one Jenson although Australia is always a bit of a prologue and there are mountains ahead.

 

[Speck]

Yes, very well done Jenson, he used to live down at the bottom of the village, Mrs Speck was in tears!

 

[Night Train]

So what happened to Hamilton?
Is it worth watching the highlights?

 

[Speck]

What happened to who? LOL

Yes, definately worth watching

 

[Night Train]

I'll set the recorder for it and do some work. I can then whizz through the boring bits later.
