So, Lotus Racing aside, was that a dull race or what?

Only 5" of the pace! That's pretty good if we consider things! Ahead of the Virgins, that's part of the plan! Can't wait to see Richard in the Red skirt! after all Red is Richard's color!

Must admit it's great to see Lotus being mentioned in F1 again along with Ferraris and Mclarens of this world :)

Does anyone know where we can find some footage of the practice sessions that we can see here in Australia? I can't seem to find a feed on the internet anywhere. :)

We're quite spoilt here in the UK, Michael. The BBC useses its 'Red Button' channels to broadcast events such as these without disrupting their normal everyday programmes. Live Saturday practice has just started for us and is also usually available via their website (iPlayer) but is blocked for overseas viewers.

I have heard of techno internet geeky types being able to fool the BBC iPlayer into believing they are accessing the site from the UK by using various proxy servers. But of course despite information on how to view iplayer from outside UK being available on Google and suchlike, I couldn't possibly condone such naughty behaviour.

I did not actually know that. Was watching the bbc news as i read this and saw the red button symbol in the corner, sure enough the F1 practice is now on. I think the last time i used the 'funny buttons' was to get subtitles on the Eurovision song contest, as all the eastern european songs have very funny lyrics and i like to see stuff like 'little furry thing live in the forest' show in english as some scantily clad euro teens bop about aimlessly. TBH the F1 practice cannot hope to compete, but cheers all the same.

PC, presser of the red button.

Are Trulli and Kovi on the track? Autosport hasn't mentioned them at all. :)

8 seconds off pace.

IMO we have not had a proper bing-a-bong European entry since Gina G's 'just a little bit'. I liked the 'teenage life' one a few years back, sung by the guy that did the rap on the remix of kung foo fighting, and surrounded by school girls. Latvia are always good, perhaps we should do an 'F1 style' UK eurovision entry and just whack our flag on some other countrys team?

Are you in the right thread Paul, or am I missing the joke being an Aussie? :)

Ermmmm, it wasn't that long ago that a certain chocolate egg loving TLF member was declaring that he'd not watch F1 this year or have any interest in the goings on of any of the teams, faux or not.

What happened to that bloke?

Now settled in front of the 10 foot screen with the hi fi stereo sound....roll on qualifying!! And hooray for the French siege mentality and thus the window shutters...!! At least the Lotus gets to do the qualifying, unlike some others(!) .. and Rosberg has slightly spoilt the Schumacher bandwagon's party...

Just seeing the Lotus car live on the BBC is putting damn big grin on my face.

Already out of qualifying in Q1 but nothing unexpected there really. Next goal must be just to see if they can last the distance tomorrow.

Good luck guys.

I expected to see something about them, more emphasis on 'the silver arrow' though and the little cheater ;)

Seriously even when the T72 (I think it was a T72 because...) came on screen the camera whipped off of it and onto some old ferraris.

Hope to see some more air time tomorrow.

I see the wrangling has already started about Mclaren's duct thingy

I checked the channel again today and qualifying is going to be shown tonight in 1 hours time. So for the first time ever, I am going to watch it with some sort of interest. Best of luck to the Lotus guys and gals.

I will not be attending Bibs as I've already stated as I can't get a plane in time now. ;)
