I actually hope it rains on Sunday, looks like it could be interesting, but for practice sessions rain just makes it dull to watch lol.

ahh good'o 5AM for qually and 6AM for race! Game on 
Ok... How the hell has Schumacher got away with setting the fastest lap at the time in Free Practice 1 under red flag conditions? Who is he sleeping with in the stewards office for that one?
Red Flag means Session stopped - proceed with caution to the pit lane or other designated area to stop.
NOT
Set the fastest lap of the session so far.

You almost sound surprised
It should carry a harsh penalty but it won't, just like how hakkinen used to get away with setting fastest laps under waved yellows by taking one hand off the wheel.

I suppose I shouldn't be. Given the indicators on the steering wheel and the new electronic flags it should have been obvious even to an old guy like him - Red flag had been out for about 20-30 seconds... If his eyesight is that bad then the FIA know what to do.
Wasn't it Raikkonen who just used to raise a hand and keep his foot down? Spa 2002 is the one I remember. Can't see through the smoke and there's also a broken car on the track in front of him.

Yeah I remember the Kimi one, he was hailed as brave. That got on my bits at the time because it was incredibly foolish. Plowing through smoke not lifting. Almost as dumb as Alonso when he tried to go faster and make time up under a safety car when webber crashed brazil 03.
Mika many times raised the hand under yellows and got away with it. It apparently showed although he was setting a faster time he was so in control of the car he could lift a hand off. Kimi continued that trend.
Shame that argument doesn't wash in court driving down the motorway on my mobile phone

Can anyone tell me where the links are for practice 1 and 2 on iplayer? I'm after the full re-runs which are usually available just after the event not the highlights.
The BBC site is truely rubbish. Why doesn't practice appear in the main iplayer site? Nothing is ever easy to find on there.
Thanks

Surely your glad to see him back because of this random stuff!
Would prefer a system where the rules are the same for everyone - hey I know its the FIA so this is the LAST thing I should expect, but it would be nice

Man, I hope it rains during the race
Yeah it will be on at 12 or within a few minutes., they have been on constant repeat all night/mourning. one straight after the other.
P1 & 2 coverage is up on Iplayer.
Was starting to think they were only planning to host the radio commentary.
