I know coverage starts at 8am tomorrow, but does anyone know what time GO is? 8.30?

Looking to be a good race hopefully!!! I actually want to wake up early to watch it

Cheers

9:00 according to the official F1 website, BBC coverage usually start an hour before they actually start.

Hmmm, 9 am BST??

Sigh, I should put on more bets.. I predicted a Webber Pole and Vettel 3rd! - I did predict MSC 2nd, but Rosberg was there instead

Been at a wedding all day, was watching the qualifying via a 3G feed on my netbook on the way to the venue

(Connected my Desire to it) aren't I dedicated?

Anyway, it would be quite hilarious if Webber doesn't win....

Grid walks are nowhere near as good as last year though

Looking forward to an entertaining race tomorrow. All the ingredients are there with the mixed up grid and unpredictable weather.

Bit miffed about having to swith to BBC2 half way through though.

20 pence says the race will start under a safety car

I'm not a fan of wet qualifying where it's normally the last driver to cross the line with no mistakes gets pole but that was a good call from webber.

I prefer dry qualifying and then a wet race.

Got to be worth a punt on an unlikely winner.

Embed · 3 Apr 2010 at 20:53

I don't think the race will star wet.

I think that it will be the same as quali. Start ok then 10-15mins in rain.
Lets hope for precipitation.

20 pence says the race is red flagged by halfway.

So watch it on the red button then like any sane viewer does to get away from leg end.

20 pence says webbers the first to moan about a bit of rain , so much for "aussy grit"

Embed · 3 Apr 2010 at 21:02

20 pence says there will be 8 retirements.
(my friends bet)

NightSt@lk3r · 3 Apr 2010 at 21:03

20 pence says vettel has a mechanical failure.

Probably after the first corner if he's leading.

Well, he was the director of the Grand Prix Drivers' Association for a long time, guess he likes to moan for other drivers too.

An adroit plan.

Leg end isn't is bad as fat head but his long intros really grind my gears (tm).

Setroc · 3 Apr 2010 at 21:36

The intros aren't particularly good, but it's his commentary that I can't stand. Very repetitive and monotonous at times. He's supposed to be the colour commentator next to Brundle's expert analysis, but Brundle is more colourful with his commentary as well. I feel a bit sorry for Legard as it's clearly a difficult job, with his predecessor Allen coming in for a lot of criticism from the fans also. But for the love of god, get him out of there and put in a good commentator like Ben Edwards asap.
