Word on the street is slimeball is kicking off about the mercs to deflect the blast heading redbull's way over their barely legal exhausts.........

Have to say I really didn't like the Sky pre show. Lazenby is pretty damn awful. He's so plastic and false, a very bad choice. Hill is fine, but he's not interesting enough to fill the pundit roll full time. There's no spark, it's all so flat.

Fortunately Croft and Brundle are great, so the race experience itself won't be bad. Watching some of the features on the beeb's website just hammers home how awful the sky features were in comparison. Bad knock offs. They've tried to rip off the beeb's style but it just comes across as really forced and soulless.

Obviously they will get better as time goes on, but it's not a great start. I'll probably give the sky pre show a miss and watch the beeb's on iplayer in the evening.

I think I'm going to do an all nighter. Not worth getting up at 5 for the pre show bit. Probably going to fill the time with PGR4 and F1 2011. Exciting

Doing a bit of late night work on the computer and was wondering why I'm feeling the burn, forgot I was up at 6am! See you all 6am again tomorrow

[roskelld]

And so it begins!

I'm so pumped for this race, so much potential on the field, lots of nippy looking cars. Excitement/10

[Shimmyhill]

Now leaving work, will I be able to stay awake for the start...

[SF-02]

Kravitz bit on 2 stops being best is complete opposite of Garry Anderson on BBC who said 3 stops

[davius]

Coffee, check. Red baggy eyes, check. Monster* and bacon rolls on standby! Bring it on!!

*Other brands are available.

[gospvg]

Morning all !!

I think I need some matchsticks to keep my eyelids open

[SF-02]

This Ham bit is fucking painful

[exwhyzed]

fuck man I just got in. Dunno wether to pull an all nighter and watch this bad boy live

[gospvg]

Always Live

Morning all. Dog out for a wee in the garden, coffee on, sopcast fired up - I'm ready!

If anyone needs a stream in a browser try this: http://kaban.tv/rossiya-2-online - not as good quality as the sopcast version (by a long shot) but not bad, and doesn't line Murdoch's pockets.

This Ham bit is fucking painful

It was a bit cringe. Good info, good to have drivers involved but just cringe. It will probably grow on me though.

[myoozikk]

Morning red eye crew!

[gospvg]

Infamous gridwalk "that's why we nicked him from the BBC"

[Bushtopher]

Morning all! Very excited, but already getting tense for the start.... hoping Button and Hamilton get away cleanly.

For those without a good live timing solution I recommend http://www.formula1livetiming.com

Resizable so you can make it fit your screen, it even let's you put a delay I the timing feed!

Also works perfectly on iOS so no need for the free app any more (albeit without the feed delay feature)

[myoozikk]

Yay grid walk time!

[gospvg]

Did Brundle just cut in front of a BBC camera?

[myoozikk]

Martin pwns leo sayer

[davius]

Brundle chatting up the grid girls. Lol.

[thesnwmn]

I might follow the drivers and take a pre race comfort break

[myoozikk]

They've given Martin to much time on the grid.

[zxcvbnm]

That Sky bloke is no Jake, is he? I wonder if the BBC will get EJ doing a grid walk?

[mexos]

I miss Jake! This guy is crap!

[John0]

Morning all

[polygon_monkey]

Yeah, think I'm glad I slept through the dead inside build up.

[gospvg]

They've given Martin to much time on the grid.

Yep agreed, I don't care about Lenny Kravitz

[polygon_monkey]

FUCKING 5.1 surround sound, we has it bitches!!!
