Weather update: I'm a few kilometres to the North, but looking out over Albert Park, and the showers that are coming across the bay look to be only light. My uneducated guess is a light sprinkling rather than a downpour of any sort. Should be trailing off, if not completely passed, by FP1.

[insert disclaimer regarding Melbourne's weather being horribly unpredictable]

Reminder: Sky coverage starts in 15mins, green light in 45mins.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Unleash Hell.

Let the great battle begin.

 

[nny]

Woo! Finally they are back! I should really go to bed early (or work) but I'll stick around a bit...well, I'll work for 20 minutes more.

(oh and great OP!)

 

[Risk Breaker]

I'm staying up for this. Something better happen.

 

[ANDY_098]

Nice intro.

 

[smiggyRT]

Nice little intro there.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Sky already showing their superiority.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Where How When?!

 

[xptoxyz]

Are they paid by Apple? Sheesh

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Where How When?!

Not available legally for anyone outside of the UK unless you have a Sky ID login.

 

[Septimius]

I miss the BBC team

Sky already showing their superiority.

I've noticed these sorts of posts from you before. Are you (and the whole idea is odd to me) a Sky fanboy of sorts?

 

[Orgun]

Skypad? Lol

DLR will run

Like Jake was? Although of course, they couldn't mention the name.

Certainly less awkward than I thought it would be, just not as funny without Eddie.

I was just thinking that watching the opening montages and zoom in to the track. Clearly not half-arsed it and put a considerable effort into it. I think it will show how lacklustre the BBC has been lately.

Nope a total neutral in terms of F1 coverage. But I know what Sky are capable of.

Anyway, I'm fully paid up member of the BBC Natural History Unit appreciation society.

Nah, I mean I think the app is only for iOS so makes sense, but I think even the laptop was modelled after a Macbook. That's off-topic anyway let's carry on, my bad for moving the conversation away from what matters.

Sky with Ted Kravitz reporting DLR's car passed, but probably won't be ready this session

It was just a laptop. I really doubt all their apple money would be showing by a 3D model of a laptop being a mac. Let's not throw ourselves at everything here.

 

[Frawdder]

Bunch of clowns on the local Australian broadcast.

Only 10 minutes in and I'm sick of them already.

If it was unclear, the being paid statement was not a serious one in that sense. I guess it wasn't clear in writing.

 

[Psychotext]

Ugh, stop nodding girl. You look like an idiot.

"OI LOOK AT DE'M FEEEYST BEUOOTZ. NAH MATE IM BUSY COOKIN UP SOME SHRIMP ON THE BARRBAY. THIS FOODS SO GOOD, I COULD SELL IT FOR FIVE THEEUUUUSEHND DOLLURS."

 

[Septimius]

Ugh, stop nodding girl. You look like an idiot.

Haha. I know.

Also, I think it's too gimmicky with huge touch-screens :/

EDIT: Yes, stretch to the other side of that 60" inch screen to press a silly button because it's keeewl

 

[Xun]

Ugh, stop nodding girl. You look like an idiot.

Indeed.

It all feels very tacky.

 

[ANDY_098]

Hill doesn't look comfortable, I can see him being scaled back to a features presenter rather than one of the leads.

More rain...

 

[S. L.]

man you guys are some super hardcore critics. give them a chance, they all have to get into their groove for a race or two before it will be all smooth

 

[hobz360]

Man, I miss Jake, DC and Jordan now....... ):

 

[Psychotext]

Still, in the midst of these arseclowns is Brundle, godlike Brundle.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Yeah, he's always been nervous on camera.

I wonder if Karun Chandhok is available?

 

[Septimius]

man you guys are some super hardcore critics. give them a chance, they all have to get into their groove for a race or two before it will be all smooth

This is true. Brundle's still there. He'll forever save the day.

I still won't ever like huge touch screens, though!

 

[andylsun]

Supposed to be streaming on SPEED.COM but doesn't seen to be doing so yet.

Edit: LIVE telecasts of Qualifying & the Race on SPEED will be Blacked Out in Canada. Practice session & race repeats will available in Canada.

So what do you do if you want to watch F1 in Canada?

FP hasn't started yet. just preshow on sky

 

[Edmond Dantès]

The BBC team faced the same criticism at first, but we all grew to love them.

I remember David been lambasted for been boring and Jake for his lack of knowledge and Eddie for his brashness.

I think it'll be same here, but to a lesser extent.

 

[Psychotext]

I think it'll be same here, but to a lesser extent.

I'll hate Lazenby for life.

 

[ANDY_098]

Chandhok has a drive in the WEC this season, don't know off the top of my head if it clashes with F1, but it probably will at some point.

Nice short adverts, hopefully they are aways that length.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Crofty!

 

[Psychotext]

So, so odd him talking... yet not being on 5 live. heh

It does this weekend. WEC is in Sebring.

 

[ANDY_098]

And here we go...

Lots of oil on the track.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Here we go!

 

[Orgun]

That oil looks treacherous

 

[SunhiLegend]

So it begins.

 

[AcridMeat]

Joined the F1 2011 GAF steam group chat if anyone is around while watching.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Someone get out there!

Verne!

 

[ANDY_098]

Green!

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Nice to see Martin in the pitlane during practice.

 

[S. L.]
