Anybody staying up for GP?

Looking forward to this, it's a bit of a feck up with the new quali rule though IMO. Turns out Schumi had an engine change and didn't post a lap in quali 2, lady luck not looking kindly on him for this race it would seem.

ooh sounds interesting i'd usually be watching but unfortunately i'm in my sister's house which means no ITV or SETANTA as she has sky Digital

Staying up with a nice whiskey. I'll probably be in bed by lap 8 though! It usually gets boring in the middle of the race, so I'll catch that tomorrow. Always watch the start of the season, and always on ITV! The Irish coverage is dreadful!

Bad luck with that, luckily for me I get ITV through my normal aerial, couldn't be bothered subscribing to Setanta.

Heh, Ted Kravitz was interviewing some actors from 'The Bill' on the pitlane and he said to them "you must feel right at home here, the place is full of crooks!"
in an illjudged reference to Australias recent history. He might get some grief for that

Some very nice violin players featured too

me thinks you had one to many if you were trying to watch it on RTE. ahh its all over and no schumie, it was not a bad start to the start of the season

DJB

not even tried to check if it is on rte as reception is crap for all terestial channels in my sisters house in balbriggan. went straight for dodgy greek satellite that she has in. i'm drunk and don't care if i can't spell... it's over now... was it fisicella that won??? i think that's what they r saying!

nanook

yup yup
fisichella first
baricello next and alsonso third but it was renault first and third

Woden

grabbed a few hours kip and got up before the race started. not a bad race (but then i think any race that schuey doesn't win is a good race)

strong result for renault, real happy for fisichella. good work by barrichello not a ferrari fan but he did well to get up to second. nice stuff from alonso also. bit disappointed for coulthard and red bull would have liked him/them to get a podium in their first race.

Dr. Dre

They are not showing any races this season. They lost out in the rights package to Setanta.
