    Anybody know what time the race starts and possible finish on Sunday? Starting work at 7.30 so don't really want to miss any of it. Also don't have sky at work so can't pop it on the tele

    Ooh... cutting it close.. races usually last 1hr 30 mins ish. Taxi to work at 7.20 still might mean I'll miss the last 10 minutes :/

    This makes me :(

    There's 3 or 4 Sky Sports News ones better than her.


    Funny hearing Croft saying a couple of things that are way more relevant in radio commentary. :pac:

    Anyone else using the live timing on formula1.com? The numbers and times are showing up as weird symbols for me.

    Fine for me in Firefox.

    EDIT: Gone already. Looks fine, no updating though.

    Setanta are supposed to be using the BBC commentary (TV comms for qualifying and race, 5Live audio for practice) but, unsurprisingly, they've managed to f**k that up already right from the start. :mad:

    It was the same last year, they couldn't manage to sync up the BBC audio with the world feed pictures properly until about six races into the year. Until then, the audio was always out slightly, especially evident on the onboards where the sound of the gearchanges clearly didn't match the pictures.

    *edit* See they've finally managed to switch the BBC audio on now. Wonder if it's synced properly. Will have to wait to see an onboard to tell.

    It's grand when there are no cars on track but as soon as they go out and sector times start changing it goes weird. I'll try IE and Firefox now there is a car out.

    Edit: IE is the same, weird symbols. I'll download Firefox and see.
