I'm stuck at my mothers all weekend with no sky F1! Is there any other way to see the race live? (don't mind paying)
Australian Grand Prix 2014, Melbourne - Race 1/19
- Thread starter Shimmy
- Start date

The £2.95 codes expire in June but hopefully more will appear with longer expiry dates in a few months time.
I'll take the hit missing qualifying live but I can cope with £2.95 a race for the ones not on the BBC - I don't have Sky so don't have a choice!

See a few posts above - NowTV for access to SkySports. £2.95 for a 24hour code from eBay (then use on your console/tablet/computer) or buy a box for £35 which includes 5 codes.
Do you have Sky F1 at home? If so, SkyGo.
When horner mentioned the first race was in Australia I had to verify it on various FIA websites to ensure it was true.
Here's to hopefully a good season of watching RBR's melting at the side of the track.
Back when I had Sky F1 they would rerun the qualifying on Saturday and before the race on Sunday. You could therefore watch a rerun of qualifying later on saturday evening and the race within the space of 24 hours?
Do I need a now box for this or is it a web browser thing?
Man of Honour
Arrived in Melbourne 4.5hours late this morning, rather tired, but will be heading off to the circuit tomorrow morning for a pit walk and free breakfast BBQ - plenty of last minute F1 parts on my Dubai => Melbourne flight, saw a few Ferrari guys with big boxes, also think I saw half the Force India team judging by the amount of Force India bags on the conveyor belt too.
It's quite chilly here at the moment, and it looks like the Sunday may have some rain or will be quite cold too.
Whilst I enjoy a rainy race, I want to see a dry one for the first race of the year. Plus I don't want to get too wet

Either - you can buy the box with 5 passes from here https://shop.nowtv.com/
or just buy the individual passes and watch online / playstation / xbox
Pretty neat video from Red Bull:

Bring it on, wet weekend sounds good! I love the idea of going into the second and even third races still not knowing who is top dog!

To be fair, a freezing cold rain soaked race.... in which the red bull burns up and drops out after 10 laps would be even funnier
Wet Qualifying AND wet Race
It's not forecast for wet qualifying, why do people do this every year. You can not look at the entire day forecast. You need the hourly. As the rain isn't forecast till the evening. However Sunday is much wetter. although will likely be dry. 50% and only light rain. Chances are as we get closer. Then forecast will change to just rain over night.
Friday
Sat

Have to say, the BBC has to have the single worst weather system in the history of weather. everything they say is basically wrong, particularly their 4-5 day out range almost always turns out wrong.
