    ahh i wondered if 5 live would be a delay, you will be better using an old analogue radio and not a net feed or digital one. i'll try tomorrow, have you tried going into the satellite feed and seeing if there is a uk voice carrier on RTL? it maybe possible to change from german

    ;D Very pleased with myself, I just got a Tweet from Paul Hembery (Pirelli Bossman) answering my question.
    Feeling very chuffed with myself. 8)

  6. its bit of a sad affair really. The garagistas were in the mire a couple of years ago when Toyota, Honda and BMW pulled out - as everybody said they would, when the sport had become dominated by car companies things could only go one way.

    So then the 'relaxed' things to allow other teams to join, enter Lotus, HRT, Virgin. However, whilst these teans came on board, they came in under different rules to the ones they thought they were entering.

    Yes, HRT are perennial back markers, just like Minardi were, Arrows etc.

    The garagistas forget where they started from. Williams, the once great team started life running ropey old customer cars. Red Bull was the appalling Jaguar team FFS! As did many of the others. HRT's cause will not be helped - if they can't run they can't get sponsors, without sponsors they won't improve.

    The planned RRD hasn't worked - the big teams have just found a way around it, and they use their muscle and might to force the FIA into a compromise climb down

    These tail enders should be cut some slack. Lets face it, there should be different rules put in place - drivers who are rusty should be allowed to practice as much as possible on spec tyres in 2 year old race cars, as should rookies. The garagistas and the pri madonna drivers who drive for them should grow up and stop bleating.

    The season hasn't even started proper yet and all the BS and politics has already started. Its all a bit lame really - the pinnacle of motorsport always seems to go out of its way to shoot itself in the foot

  7. Sky's HD 5.1 coverage was superb btw
    ;)
     
  8. Hmm, found the new commentator a bit annoying. Thought he was too loud and excited, like he was doing it on the radio !!
    Loved the quali though, nice and close with a bit of a mix up. And Alonso mucked up haha !! Shame about kimi.

    so sky starting at 04.30 in the morning, race at 06.00 anyone else getting up at 04.30 or just before 6?.... i see the HRT's have been denied entry to the race, fair comment i reckon, they were slow to the extreme.

    i think it will just be padding until 5-30 i'm gonna set the alarm for 5 and see how i go, if i'm tired lappy in bed, if i'm ok downstairs to the telly, wanna see brundles gridwalk.
     
  15. Really enjoyed the SKY coverage this morning, can't wait for the race. Shame about Rosberg and Kimi, nice to see Red Bull a bit lower down the order and also nice to see a Williams in the top 10.

    No getting up early for me, I'll watch it as soon as I get up, that's why we have sky+ :))
     
  16. I'll be up just before six, so i have enough time to make a brew and have a smoke
    I would sky+ but once the kids are up i'm not allowed near the telly

    If HRT & Marussia can't even get a car together before the practice days what hope have they?
    To think that a well funded Dave Richards was denied a chance to let these teams in just beggars belief. At least his organisation had experience in building & running front running race teams in many different categories.
