I'm going to be a noob here... but what is the best way to watch it live on the web? :)

AFAIK, you can't actually 'watch' it live :(

I've personally not found anywhere that offers it anyway.


As to the live timing, your best bet is http://www.formula1.com/

They offer a free live timing for all sessions. Requires signing up - thats all :)

Thank you very much. :p

Ditto Sir :D :p

fark!!!! That top 5 is soooo tight. Massas doing very well it seems.

just watching the Qual now, I love the shape of the nose-cone on the Williams, looks like a early 90's f1 car before the high noses became more popular.
Not convinced about how the paint job on the Mclarens looks on TV.

I really like this new qualifying format too...

got Mayhem?

what are you watching it on ?????

recorded it last night :)
(loving the Topfield :) :) )

Damn, I missed it. :(

I really like this new qualifying format too...

Damn, I missed it. :(
Was on 2:30am - 3:30am...

that 3rd session needs a bit of tweaking, but loved the chaos of the first two.

Oh you're kidding... DOOH. I will know to check Saturday nights tv guide from now on :)

BTW we have a have had Strong 5290 pvr for 2.5 years now and it has forever changed our TV watching habbits :)

Channel Ten have only bought the rights to Bahrain and Melbourne unfortunately, so thats all we'll see here :(
