    This doesn't look like it will start on time if at all.

    SkyF1 suggests they'll start on time 13:00 and keep delaying by 15 minutes until they get a window where track conditions are okay to run

    This is going to be a long afternoon for the lads in the commentary box... nothing will happen in the next hour at least I'd say.

    1/2 hour delay (1930 BST) according to BBC, Setanta flashed same on screen.

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    Rob Smedley said the wet tires ran earlier were like new after 10 laps. If the tires don't wear, is it possible (Legal) to do the full race on a single set of wet tires, with no pit-stops?

    I think the two tyre rule only applies to a dry race. You can't force teams to use inters if it's not safe to do so.

    Was a tweet read out asking that question earlier and Martin said something to the effect of "We have our own channel, will definitely be showing it".

    Setanta have been pretty much on the ball. They've been taking 5 live's/BBC's lead and broadcasting until they don't. If there's a world feed I'm hoping Setanta will cover qualy.

    So what highlights will the Beeb show tonight?!

    Hmm 14:00 Setanta are going to be in the middle of a live French league game, the items scheduled for between 15:00 and 16:55 appear to be filler so there is a window of opportunity there but it does look like no live coverage outside of Sky.
