Yup, seems technical faults are contagious down under atm.

Big powercut apparently, perhaps to do with the weather?!

Morning!

Just watching FP3 and sounds like I'm going to be watching rain for a while.

Serious doom and gloom from Whitmarsh

Morning guys, wish I'd have known that delay was going to be that long I would have made breakfast... Instead I just sat staring at that screen

Flibster · 16 Mar 2013 at 05:16

Oh.... and another one.

Psycho Ned · 16 Mar 2013 at 05:16

Haha brundle talking about the power cut and they are gone again!

Guerrilla · 16 Mar 2013 at 05:17

Oh dear.

Regy53 · 16 Mar 2013 at 05:21

Brundle jinxed them

Mr_White · 16 Mar 2013 at 05:23

As long it doesn't interfere with Quali coverage itself!

Damn my subliminal body clock for waking me up!

I'm in bed without the telly on, what are they showing then? Are there any track cameras on, or is someone in the studio just trying to rapidly fill time

Nothing, a holding screen with elevator music.

The whole TV compound in Melbourne is suffering from power cuts, not just Sky affected.

The last thing we need is more rain! Someone just said the music is like Babestation on twitter. Am I going to get in trouble for watching this holding screen in 5.1?

Ethermaster · 16 Mar 2013 at 05:29

Grrrrrr just woke up to watch it and now I'm looking at this ........... bloody Sky

deuse · 16 Mar 2013 at 05:31

From the BBC

"Sauber's Nico Hulkenberg has been handed a €1000 fine for speeding in the pit-lane and, as I suspected, Force India's Adrian Sutil is under investigation for using the DRS in the wet."

People of @SkySportsF1. Hit it with a hammer. That usually works for me.

I'm not doing any dancing! You'll all jump on my head!

Won't bother getting up to put the telly on if that's all there is then. Presumably, qualy won't be able to go ahead until its back cos none of the telemetry is working so they can't record times or anything as basic as that.

Guerrilla · 16 Mar 2013 at 05:32

... And we're back
