How do you all watch the races in america? My Speed channel is only showing qualifying and has practice on now, no listing for the actual race.

Im in Canada and we get the race live at 8am on TSN (equivalent to ESPN). The coverage is very good with commentatiing by ex drivers.

bad news, everyone:

Sky and BBC to share UK F1 coverage from 2012

The BBC will no longer show every round of the F1 season live from next year.

Under a new deal announced today the BBC will share coverage with Sky from 2012 to 2018.

Sky will show every race live. The BBC will only screen around half the season’s races including the British and Monaco races, plus the season finale.

Sky will show all the practice and qualifying sessions live as well, while the BBC will only show practice and qualifying sessions for certain races.

BBC Sport director Barbara Slater said: “We are absolutely delighted that F1 will remain on the BBC.

“The sport has never been more popular with TV audiences at a ten-year high and the BBC has always stated its commitment to the big national sporting moments.


bbc has delivered very high quality coverage in 2009, 2010 and 2011. this is a huge loss for english-speaking fans all over. although sky says the coverage will be uninterupted, i'm sure it's only a matter of time before it reaches the same low level of speed tv, i.e. expensive, poor coverage and laden with ads.

Yup. Another good race.

I think they should start all races in the wet. Heck, even if there isn't rain, just spray the whole track in the beginning. And then watch the fun as everyone copes with a drying track.

Bernie actually proposed doing that.. did not followup on that story, but he was pretty adamant on implementing that.

That race was a blast and the victory by Button well deserved. It's great to see Red Bull have some real competition.

Agreed.

I'm kind of surprised that Renault fire didn't bring out a safety car. Did you see all those cars exiting the pits and how close they came to the marshals? Not to mention the debris on the pit out from the car and the potential for an explosion.

No doubt. That fan footage posted by Boston Dangler is really harrowing. It was not apparent from the footage on SPEED that the fire went on for that long, nor that the side pod exploded carbon fiber out onto the track. Actually considering the fact that they make the pit crews wear fire suits and helmets, it's surprising to me that they'd have marshalls in what appeared to be a rain slicker and Dockers spraying foam onto a flaming car from inches away. Those guys could sustained serious injuries or worse if the explosion had been more severe, particularly the marshall whose leg was directly in the path of the explosion.

Wow, I had no idea the side pod blew out and hit a marshal in the leg. That's crazy that they didn't get a safety car out there. Wow.

They also towed the smoking wreckage of that Renault backwards up the pit exit. I believe it was Vettel who pretty much had to drive around them to get out of the pits...
