If you don't have Sky (like me) then you can watch all the races this season live on Setanta but there is no build-up beforehand or analysis afterwards. The commentary is the live feed from the BBC (Ben Edwards and David Coulthard). Setanta are also showing all practice sessions and qualifying live, with the BBC 5 Live commentary for the practice sessions (James Allen and Jaime Alguersuari) and the Edwards/DC pairing for quallie. It's not ideal and there are ad breaks but it's better than nothing. Setanta have guaranteed all races live for this season and the 2013 season also.

If you miss the race live you catch the extended highlights show on the BBC later that day with a bit of a build-up and post-race analysis, hosted by Jake Humphrey with DC and Eddie Jordan. The race will be edited for length, however.

The BBC will be showing 10 of the races live, including the qualifying session on the Saturday, but no practice. A full list of their schedule can be found here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/15893254

You can also try and find a dodgy stream of Sky F1 but I'm not saying where!

Also, if you have a friend who has sky sports or sky hd you could borrow their "sky go" details and you could watch it online. You'd want to be good friends as you'll need their account details.

If you have eircom, just go to http://eircomsports.eircom.net/Setanta/ and you can watch it live or else watch the catch-up.

I was trying to convince my parents to pay the extra €15 for HD. I then remembered that my granny has Sky sports and isn't using her Sky GO account.

So don't forget someone you know may have an unused GO account. Now to wait for the full replay tomorrow at 7pm Still delighted I can watch the F1 now.

I've been telling everyone to do it as those who have sky hd/sports just don't need it!

I still cant quite believe that sky are making this sky go available in this manner and to 2 devices to make it even better.

Did anyone else have problems with Sky Go on sunday morning? I couldn't get the F1 channel on it and missed the race

I have sky HD and it was working all weekend, except for the race.

So can I get my dads sky details (with his permission) and then just watch online-does he have to pay extra for that? He has sky sports. Would love to be able to watch live this weekend. So hard trying not to get the result before BBC show

Yep, no extra cost as he has sky sports.

Might try and get a family members sky details.. the HD setanta coverage was good because it still had the coulthard commentary but it felt like watching it over a fence like your not supposed to be there haha! No build up no pit walk no press conference

Guys is there a tv schedule of the dates, times and channels when the F1 is on the vaious channels? I want to add it to my Google calendar and get reminders sent to myself - cause I keep missing it!!
