WTF ??? Speed has blacked out the Pratice sesh 10min's into the showing , citing "canada" rights issues !!!!

what total B.S. !!!

i think TSN has the Q & R live so shouldn't have this issue rest of Oz race but does this mean we cannot view any Pratice Sessions for this season ?

Ya I was watching practice last night/early morning on Speed and suddenly it was blacked out...wtf!!!

I saw video of the Ferrari in testing and was a bit surprised the new cars weren't as goofy looking as I thought they'd be.

I was wrong.


And the Brawn looks like a club racer paint job. Chartreuse?!?!?

Yup, PVR got fifteen minutes of black screen.

Never really liked Speed coverage anyway, ITV & Brundle really are the best.

Haha! Yeah..love that SCCA run-offs paint scheme! :lol: Ah well, they just announced a sponsorship deal with Virgin so I suspect the car will look quite different very shortly..
 
I like the Speed coverage...David Hobbs is da man!
 
F1 fanatic here as well. Been watching since I was 7. Last year was a great season, it was a really close championship. I'm kinda disgruntled a bit about the new rule changes for this season though. Oh well, I'll still watch and see how it turns out. Hoping McLaren stays strong this season, they're my favourite team by far.

What time is qualifying tomorrow and on what channels? I don't have speed channel anymore...

McLaren, at the moment, looks gash.. Complete garbage. I think they're in the bottom 4 positions or so. I'm confident they'll get it sorted out though eventually. They're a strong team. It should be on TSN..qualifying is tonight around midnight or something..race tomorrow about the same time.

For what it's worth, the Speed HD feed (On Rogers) was complete with no blackout.

The guide is saying Speed's coverage of Qualifying and the race is blacked out.That sucks as last year several qualifying sessions on TSN HD had screwed up the sound. It was nice having both channels cover in case of technical issues.

Take Alonso - he was still able to manage podiums even driving an off the pace Renault. Where the heck was Button???? Oh yes a backmarker just getting in the way.

Just to give you pause, Button puts it on pole in Brawn's first GP race.
 
Refreshing to see Mclaren and Ferrari not at the top of the timing sheets, and considering Brawn weren't even a team officially until three weeks ago makes Button's performance today even more stellar.
 
Not to take anything away from Button but let's not kid ourselves, Brawn is clearly the superior car regardless of what we'd expect from a team that is newly resurrected from the dead.

It will be interesting to see how quickly the old guard catch up to them as the year progresses.



...only 3 more hours guys!!!!!!!!!
 
Hamilton came from 18th and finished 4th...almost on the podium...now that's talent:D:D

I don't think any race should be concluded under a yellow flag and the safety car. I think they should put in a rule the last 3 or 5 laps will not count down when the safety car is out.
 
Actually, Lewis finished third. Surprising considering the dismal preseason McLaren has faced.

Congrats to Brawn et all. I figure they will have the huge advantage for the first 4-6 races or so, till the other teams redesign the rear diffuser to gain speed.

They were not sure where he finished. He was not on the Podium when I watched it live. Even better if he finished 3rd, from 18th to the Podium...NICE!!!
 
So two days ago there was the Button cant drive crowd and now silence? come on guys, takes pole, leads for the win..... must be that fast reliable car they handed him... doesn't deserve it....no talent......

And he took a salary cut of 50% (8 million US) to get the deal done and have a team, not only does he have no talent , he has no class either......:rolleyes:

Haha! Well, I didn't want to gloat... :lol: Well, it's hard to tell, isn't it? I mean, the car is fast, no doubt. But he did beat his teammate. So I think he's hardly junk, but he's probably not Schumacher either. Let's face it, the Honda was gash the last few years. You can't judge him on that alone. He's in a fast car now and he did the deal. Good on him!
