Looks like it might be a dry race though... let's hope not!

Same as the ?20 iPhone app, wish I hadn't bothered with it to be honest but it may pay off when I'm at Silverstone later in the year and I have no idea what's going on!

Unfortunately you probably won't get much in the way of 3G reception during the race if you're at Silverstone.

Ridiculous that the F1 is getting bumped off BBC1 for this He is Risen Today crap.

Jesus prefers A1GP.

Yep. Why didn't they just put the program about Jebus on BBC2 instead?

Makes no sense, and I bet they wouldn't they wouldn't have done it if it was a football match instead of F1

Can't you get bbc 2? It was the case of just pressing the up channel button!

Race was ok, and Vettel deserved the win finally. The drivers standings are very close. Massa not winning a race and leading is a bit strange!

Thought Alonso was very unlcuky with his mechanical problems. Do love a good engine blow up though.

Of course I get BBC2, but as Mr Skinny said: why not put the JC pish on BBC2 instead. Sometimes I can't watch these early morning races live so I set it to record; if I'd missed the second half of the race for something as pointless as that, I'd have been furious!

Daft question but is F1 shown on BBC HD?

Nope, next year it seems it may be though, fingers are crossed.

Damn those Christians! I have a series link set up for the F1 and it only recorded the BBC1 transmission. And you don't get F1 on the iPlayer.

Aha. Doesn't show up on the iPlayer via my cable box. At least I can watch ot on the laptop tonight then. Cheers.

Not much discussion about the race? Thought it was a great one with so much going on. Hardly seen Vettel the whole race though which is fair enough as there was no action up front. Obviously LH had a blinder going from 20th to 6th and similar for Button/Massa.
