Krikey. Mark didn't like that question about Helmut Marko!

What's everyone's plans for this evening? I was planning on staying up to watch the first practice, 2 hour power nap, second practice then bed. No way I'll make it all night otherwise.

TaKeN · 14 Mar 2013 at 14:43

Sky+ for me tummelv!

Question for Alonso and Vettel....

Describe your fellings on each other, as drivers and as people...

Drivers, easy. People.... awkward!!

Pastor Maldonado is talented and, as he proved in Spain last year, capable of winning. Unfortunately, at many races he is beaten to the car by his evil, accident-prone twin Bastor Maldonado who is ****. Newcomer Valtteri Bottas is not to be confused with his mum, Valerie Bottas, who runs the Finnish branch of the WI.

That bit was hilarious, now I'm getting odd looks from the rest of the office

I was planning on getting up at 6 to watch FP2 before work. We'll see how that goes tomorrow morning

I might watch the first hour of FP1 live and then watch the rest in the morning with a good bacon buttie and a cuppa, ahhhh bliss!

Wahey, just getting ready to fly out to Melbourne! I cannae wait

FrankJH · 14 Mar 2013 at 21:30

ok Mr Bling

(I admit its pure jealousy on my part)

I could have sworn the BBC said recently they were transmitting the Friday /Sat P3 sessions live on every GP weekend, but I must have imagined it (as I cant see anything on the schedules)

gary996 · 14 Mar 2013 at 21:30

Can't wait. Will set the alarm and try and get up

tummelv · 14 Mar 2013 at 21:33

Did anything more come from that rumour that Caterham had one of their cars damaged in transit?

They only transmit the practice sessions on weekends where they are showing the race in full afaik. Although I think they are commentating live on Five Live Radio for all of them.

Red bull still working on bits til the last minute. Got held up checking into my AUS flight by several large boxes marked Red bull racing. Won't get there til qually if lucky though

Reaper 392 · 14 Mar 2013 at 22:16

ok, parents arent happy with me having their sky details for sky go and they also couldnt be bothered to make room on the planner for all the sessions. so, anyone got suggestions for a live stream of any of FP1 or FP2?

utajoker · 14 Mar 2013 at 22:45

I've got a Sky stream for F1 which I used for all non BBC practises, qualis and races last year, and which is currently showing the barcelona testing. I'm not sure I'm allowed to link it though?
