F-1 anyone following?

Well the new season is starting this weekend anyone following it ? Anyone crazy enough to wake up at 6 on Sunday? Whos your favourites ?

Oh yes I wont get to see the first race as ill be going away for it but melbourne is always good.

Redbull ftw

Would like to see schumacher make some kind of a come back this year

yeah my hopes are on Schumi. And like last year Vettel should be great

Big fan, love watching it live, big Schumacher fan, would love to see the legend do well this year ) looking forward to it

Yep I be following it wont be up at 6 in the morning i will have it on record to watch it I hope that Schumacher gets of to a good start but I cant see any one coming near Red bull this year Vettell is one to watch imo

I'll only get the highlights of this one off BBC with this gay Sky F1 ruining things Hoping for Hamilton to bounce back this year and prove what he's made of. Was never a huge Vettel fan but have been a Shumi fan since day one so ould be great to see him actually come out and compete for a couple of wins again. Hopefully it's a good year now

Was watching the 2nd practice session today, Schumi top of the time sheets! Hope mercedes do well this year.
Its hard to know who I'd like to win this year (apart from schumi) I like vettel, but then I like Button and Hamilton can be exciting to watch! Also be interesting to see how Raikkonen gets on this year.
Made the oul one get in Sky sports F1 HD, the picture is actually unreal, its really worth it. When it shows the cars passing in slow mo you can make out the weave of the carbon fibre!

^^ Im getting that upgrade later on

stupid UPC not getting the F1 channel any way of gettin the channel online??

Im sure you can find plenty of sites that do it live and free, but you wont get much quality out of them, but you never know, just search for it when its about to start

I've been reliably told this site is good for all live events so fingers crossed it works out... http://www.vipbox.tv/sports/formula-1.html

You'd want good internet for it though, and I don't have that here Moving out in a couple of weeks so no point paying for it at home really...how much is it extra out of interest? Can you get it at all if you're a non HD customer?

its something like 3,50 euro a month. I think you can get it allright without HD. I'm nearly sure I read that it's free subsricption if you have one of the SkySports channals, but not 100% man

Hmm that's not bad, must look into it! Something to make me come home to see the parents at the weekend haha

Brothers going to this in Melbourne. Should be good

Just saw the qualifying results there! Delighted, but what a surprising 3rd!

Have to say, I was very disappointed with the result of the race...thought Hamilton was in great shape for the win but that awful launch put him on the back foot straight away. Great recovery drive from Raikonnen! Pity Schumacher had to retire so early...here's hoping we see a lot more of him this year!

was sickened for Shumi, but he was doing good while he lasted. After that he said that he was very happy with the car before failure and he found it easy to push it to the limits, so that might be promising. I think there's a very interesting season ahead

Have always loved formula one myself, and was always a loyal supporter of Red bull. Have to say that Vettel's dominance last season annoyed me a bit, was delighted to see Button throwing him off his game in Canada. With the form of the new McLaren I think it's going to be an interesting season and there are creation frivers out there who won't have it nearly as easy as they did last year. Bring it on!!!

Ya, I have to say I always liked Vettel, up until last year. He became that bit too arrogant for me, something changed and that's not the way I feel things should be. Button drove a great race, even though I'm not a keen supporter at all What I will say though is he has proved me wrong and really stepped up his game since joining McLaren so it should be an interesting battle between him and Hamilton this year. All going well there should be some nice midfield battling and maybe even a bit more variety at the front

Hmm. I watched it Live via UPC on Setanta Ireland. I think It depends on TV package you have.
Great, dramatic race. No Italians this year. Kinda weird.

Ya, no Italians and three French? Been a while since there was that many French drivers on the grid now that I think of it...

Button deserved the win, he's the far better driver at McLaren imo. He's more likeable too, Hamilton can be exciting to watch alright but he's a moody little fucker, the sickened head on him after the race.
Pity schumi had to retire but I'm expecting a good season for him this year

Ya, I have to say Hamilton's attitude the last year has really disappointed me...I'm still a massive fan and would prefer him to Button but that Nicole has fucked him up rightly...would like to see him get back on form and back to the happy carefree way he was, great driver to watch. As for Shumi, I really hope he does have a good year. Put all the doubters to bed. Would hate to see his career end again with no glimmer of brilliance

Anybody watching it ? Was interesting to watch untill they stopped it Schumacher span out early but anything can happen if they resume

Small chance they're gonna restart it. :-(
Well... correction. Lunch in 13 minutes :-)
