Just a word of note with the times for the live coverage. The clocks will be be going forward Saturday night/Sunday morning so don't make a blooper and miss out on an hour of live coverage.

Ah I'm getting proper excited now!

Who's stayin up for practice tonight?

These classic races are great. I have a feeling the fact that Australia has been the last race of the season several times may make this weekend's classic races better.

Just watching the last race of '95 how Schumacher wasn't disqualified considering what drivers do get disqualified for is a mystery to me.

G-Money

Anyone know if you can get that interactive thing on Magnet? I'm not sure if they carry it.

Formula 1 website says practice is at half 1 tonight our time. I really hope so because I wont be able to watch it if it's at half 11.

Where did you get that revised time for first practice? I haven't seen it anywhere else.

im assuming from the countdown they have on their f1 homepage :pac: either way im having a gander

Both Formula1.com and the BBC site have the countdown set for half 1.

i must be in another universe so. telling me half 11

Does it say 3 hours and 30 something minutes? I've just tried both sites in three different browsers and all are coming up as 5 and a half hours. Or are you just taking the piss?

The Falcon

The best bit about the Beeb is there wil be NO ADDS! Great - Can't wait.:)

lol no I'm not!! 3 and a half hours and counting!!

EDIT: Fixed. Restarted the browser???

I suppose we're going a bit offtopic, but what browser are you using? That's somewhat odd, how long was the browser open? Unless it was last week and the time somewhere in the world was changed I can't see how that happened. Odd

Ah well, at least we're all in agreement now :P

google chrome. must have been an error on their site at some point! oh well, im still excited

Gonna guess that's me you're referring to :P Yup, the overhyped racing incident when Schumacher turned into someone trying to pass him when he knew that after hitting the wall he wasn't going to have the pace to keep him behind
