Qualifying day is upon us and with all the Free Practice action we saw yesterday, we are none the wiser about who will do well. It looks as though McLaren are back on form, but perhaps the final practice session this morning will help us get a clearer picture. Meanwhile, here are some of the things we're talking about:

  • Abu Dhabi has conceded to FOM's demands to host a twilight race - starting at 5pm. The circuit organisers say they are embracing the idea and are prepared to sort out floodlighting to transition from day to night much easier. I can't believe they are bending to Bernie's will so easily.
  • Christian Horner has confirmed that Red Bull will have to cut down some of the mileage that Vettel does on Friday's to try and preserve his engines. They're confident they can avoid penalty by reusing old engines and monitoring the situation carefully. Good luck!
  • Force India appear to have turned up to Spa with a ridiculous looking motorhome, so their disputes are clearly not over. However, the drivers are hoping to do well. Fisichella showed some promise in FP yesterday, and Sutil was great in Valencia. What can they achieve this weekend?

That'll do it for now. There will be threads open for Free Practice and Qualifying throughout the day, and look out for the Digest later. I'll see you in the comments.

    I really dont think they are bending to bernies will, if anything i think they may have paid him off so they could hae it later.

    Sunday is part of the working week in the UAE so a race at 2pm will attract less people than one at 5,

    They were already floodlighting the track so it makes sense to use them, not to mention it will be spectacular, and a poetic 'sunset' to the season

    In fact very few sporting events take place in the day in the UAE.

    All the tennis matches are played at night, Horse racing at Nad al Sheba only ever takes place at night, and the top level football leuge plays 90% of its games at night.

    The only exceptions to this are Golf and Powerboat racing, but i am sure they are working on both! :P

    NASA still say they are going to launch in 4 and a half hours. There are some red weather conditions but they expect them all to clear.

    I am going to grab a little sleep before I get up to find out why they are not going to launch it this time. If anyone has any questions it's now or never.

    Greetings.

    I think Ferrari should dump both Massa and Kimi and not hire Alonso but pair Luca with Jean-Denis Deletraz, confidently, the worst driver that F1 has ever seen on the basis of three races!

    At least Ferrari will be entertaining to watch.....

    Now, why would Ferrari feel "Honour-bound" to welcome Massa with open arms next year. In the old days, Ferrari would have found the best possible driver to replace you and tell you you have been fired while you have just come to from a coma or had the last rites read to you....?

    I'm so glad I don't run an F1 team.... I'm just so sure I'd end up being the one still stood up when the music stopped. How can you be sure you've got the best 2 drivers for your seats? If you were Martin, would you let Heikki to keep the seat for Kimi go while risking Massa not being fit to return or would you hang onto a safer bet like Rosberg?

    The results for Massa' US medicals will be out next week (a few days after Spa). It should tell Ferrari when, or if, they can expect Massa back.

  • startledbunny29/08/2009 at 00:07

    Cannot see Kimi @ McLaren, and after much deliberation, i guess he will stay where he is. I was one of the naysayers pushing Kimi to WRC, but the Massa effect is an unknown.

    Rosberg on Friday - "Today was a real disaster for us, so I'm hoping that tomorrow will be better," said Rosberg. "We're going to have to work very hard tonight to try and improve things. "We had really low grip, especially at the rear. It was really very poor, but at least i beat Badoer"

    (disclaimer...this is not true)

    It's quite subjective. I stop before very very arrives

    It becomes no fun for me at that point

  • Alison29/08/2009 at 00:09

    But Massa could get in the car and it could cause any injury he's had to flare up. Cleared by a doctor or otherwise, head injuries are unpredictable and F1's hardly a stress free experience for the body.

    If there's even any risk of Massa's injuries flaring up, the doctors will not clear him - it's as simple as that. The doctors will only clear him to race if and when they're sure he's healed enough to.

  • Alison29/08/2009 at 00:13

    But you can just never be sure. That's the point. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying.

    Indeed. They'll make a decision based on what they know.

  • Alison29/08/2009 at 00:16

    I'm not saying he shouldn't race. I was just saying I'd hate to have to make decisions about who to sign. It'd be so easy to end up with egg on your face.

    I know this a different injury, but my Wife got hit by a car, and had a dislocated hip. This involves a fracture of the hip socket. It took 3 months before she was cleared to work, and walk for that matter. And then she had to take extra care. I'm thinking about the healing of Massa's skull fracture,

  • Jon Waldock29/08/2009 at 00:17

    Indeed. They'll make a decision based on what they know.

    It's all a calculated risk, even getting up in the morning is a calculated risk, but theres also risk for staying in bed.

    The Doctors aren't going to let him race unless they are as sure as sure that nothing going to happen, then they'll let him test and see what happens. If it's still not right then they wont let him race again, or not for a long time anyway

    I'm not saying he shouldn't race. I was just saying I'd hate to have to make decisions about who to sign. It'd be so easy to end up with egg on your face.

    Ferrari will have a plan B. If anything, this convinces me further that they'll keep Kimi under contract by letting him race Fiats in WRC. Easier to pull him back that way. That way, they lose nothing.

    They won't let him race unless they believe he is ready. Equally, he wants to race asap, and has millions of pounds to spend on recovery.

    Webber had a six month injury, potentially, and it was solved in three months.

    I hope F1 don't pay attention to what tennis is doing, they are trying to regulate what the players tweet, under some lame excuse about it encouraging gambling.

    Interesting article, Amy. Thanks for the link.

    I agree somewhat with what the US open is trying to do -- sometimes you have to remind people that social media has a wide reach. I think it's more about awareness and warning, rather than banning. Which is reasonable, I think.

    Just as well then that F1 drivers can't tweet while driving. ;) That said, tweeting isn't limited to the F1 drivers in the paddock, so I don't think it'll be an issue in F1.

    oh yes, people definitely do stupid things online all the time. But I can't see any professional athlete giving away 'inside info' in a tweet not just because it might help gamblers, but because all their rivals would be able to see it and surely an athlete knows better than to help their rivals get one over them.

    But Amy's right, athletes are different. They're usually pretty smart about what they can reveal and to who.

    I agree that athletes would not willingly give out "inside info", but I think the point is to warn against inadvertent divulging of what could be interpreted as "inside info". And, yeah, sometimes those warnings can be really annoying to the social media-savvy, especially when they come from the social media-"unsavvy."

    Gravit8ed is in Fla, apparently. When we told him about the launch, he checked if he could go (not sure if he meant go to the Cape). I dunno if he pushed through.

    Apparently, it's a dream of his to see the launch for real. He's also been told he could see the shuttle in the sky from where he lives...

    F1 news, now:

    From Joe: Williams-Renault? That has a ring to it…

    The first choice [of Williams] is probably Mercedes-Benz but with a deal expected to be announced soon between Mercedes and Red Bull Racing, Renault has engines up for grabs.

    ...

    If the BMW Sauber team does survive it is expected to use Ferrari engines, while potential newcomers Epsilon Euskadi is also expected to run Ferrari engines if it gets an entry.

    This would leave Toyota without any customers but there is always the possibility that one of the new teams might buy its way out of the Cosworth deals because of performance-related fears in 2010 and Toyota would be a good place to land.

    So the new teams can buy their way out? If that's true, I expect USF1-Toyota. Campos and Manor will be in trouble, though.

    They need to be as close to the equator as possible and they need to have a lot of ocean to the east of the launch site. They also need to be somewhere where there are not lots of people around. Options are limited unless they go to another country.

    They were out of date nachos if that's any help.

    I eat out of date food all the time :D

  • Amy29/08/2009 at 05:48

    I had them on Thursday so it is just the leftovers. To be eaten with mashed potato, peas, corn, pumpkin, a lot of gravy, no mint sauce :D

    Will the peas and corn be a suckatach or separate?

  • gravit8ed29/08/2009 at 05:49

    word of advice; should you be forced to order delivery, get enough for the enitire weekend, thus limiting couch-offage to a minimum

  • Alex Andronov29/08/2009 at 05:50

    old el paso, not so much

    Yeah... it's the best version we have here I think sadly.

    The probablem with this would be that this is really only a good idea at the end of a race weekend. Otherwise not so much of the television available.

    taco bell?

    nope.

    peas and corn are one of these. Lazy, lazy cooking.

    OF COURSE NOT

  • gravit8ed29/08/2009 at 05:57

    "The engines run in Red Bull with the same temperatures as they do in the Renault. And Vettel's style of driving doesn't have anything to do with it," he added.

    I know we were thinking nobody would be able to buy their way out of the Cosworth deal... but what if US F1 and Force India swapped engine suppliers? US F1 gets proper Engines, Force India stopped from going bust?

    I can wait. I think. I probably will cave before then, most places at the moment have a 'buy now and upgrade for free to windows 7' anyway.

    Just make sure you select the correct corresponding version of Windows Vista so you can do an in place upgrade. Rather than having to wipe everything and start again a few weeks apart.

    and considering I am on my computer 19 hours a day or so, I think I need one that works :D

    Stupid Sony discontinued the range of the model I have and I looove it so I must find out if they have a new product that is the same.

    I have never heard of somebody using their laptop so much their screen has fallen off - so I think maybe you should get a new one.

  • Amy29/08/2009 at 07:59

    Maybe a tuftie one?

    I have found the exact replacement for my model, and then one that is almost exactly the same but $1000 cheaper, so I'm gonna go for that one. And treat it with more care than this one got in its first few years of life :)

  • Nick29/08/2009 at 07:59

    Morning all, now you have fixed it for Amy, I hav2 a dilema of my own...

    I left the window open last night, now the room is too arctic to get out from under the duvet...

    What do I do? Fp3 is less than an hour away...

  • Alex Andronov29/08/2009 at 08:00

    You can watch Fp3 in bed no? Live streaming on the iPlayer!

  • Amy29/08/2009 at 08:01

    oh no! the one I plan to buy is 300g heavier! Gasp!

  • Alex Andronov29/08/2009 at 08:02

    Looking out the window I can see a small child running around... This has just reminded me that this afternoon we have a small child arriving to visit...

    *Looks around house*

    Gosh there are a lot of dangerous things in our house.

  • Alex Andronov29/08/2009 at 08:03

    oh no! the one I plan to buy is 300g heavier! Gasp!

    Oh noes! Is that what the $1,000 gives you?

  • Amy29/08/2009 at 08:04

    Oh noes! Is that what the $1,000 gives you?

    the $1000 also goes on 2gb more RAM and "NVIDIA® GeForce® 9300M GS notebook graphics processing unit (GPU) (SPEED MODE) / Mobile Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD (STAMINA MODE)" instead of "ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 4570 Graphics"

    although to be fair I have the speed/stamina mode at the moment and I never, ever change it.

    The RAM is good but shouldn't cost that much more... The graphics card doesn't seem to matter much to you... But it may mean better battery life. The weight is a big factor. Or rather it would be for me.

    The battery life is an extra 2 hours. I do love love love the one I have now, and would love to buy the direct replacement, but I swore I'd never spend that much on a computer again.

    Quite literally!

    Okay then here's what you do... You're single... you must have a ginormous pile of clothes on the floor... right? get them all and put all of them on while under the covers... Wait for about 10 minutes until you are almost too hot to live... Throw off the covers and ninja style run quickly to close the window. Now as the room heats up you will find yourself reaching equilibrium. You may be tempted to immediately start peeling off one of the pairs of jeans you are wearing.. Don't you are still relying on bed heat. You must wait until you first reach equilibrium and then once you pass this phase and begin to heat up again you can start to peel of the extra layers maintaining equilibrium.

    This makes sense... Unfortunatly i have no clothes on the floor. There are2 bedrooms here, 1 is for sleeping, the other is my walk in wardrobe! :P

    I have made it too the lounge.

  • Nick29/08/2009 at 08:20

    I considered this... But the duvet is too big, all the heat would escape and it would slow me down shutting the window and running. i have a huge blanket on the sofa for this very eventuality

    I have had a few in my time, they came out August last year. I'd rank them right up there with the caramel for goodness. In 2007 I had a flatmate who did an internship at Nestle and after she left she kept getting sent boxes of caramel ones. I put on 5kg that year :D

    This is true... Weirdly it is the one rule from Europe that's actually turned out to be true and there's hardly been any press about it.

    However low energy bulbs have come on massively since the early days. And are now actually very good.

    The really annoying thing is in a couple of years they will ban the new ones and insist on LEDs which make a lot more sense

  • Alex Andronov29/08/2009 at 08:54

    I hate how long they take to warm up when you first turn them on. I turn on my light when I get home and the room is still dark for a few minutes.

    Ah those aren't the newer ones then...

  • Nick29/08/2009 at 08:54

    I hear you're given like 6 weeks regular vacation? usually thats my unemployed times but still, it sounds fun

    I think its just weeks, but there are lots of rules like a maximum 48 working hours in a week which dont seem to really get listened too...

  • Alex Andronov29/08/2009 at 08:55

    The really annoying thing is in a couple of years they will ban the new ones and insist on LEDs which make a lot more sense

    They just need to work out how to solve the spectrum problem on the LEDs. The light given off is very blue.

  • Alianora La Canta29/08/2009 at 10:14

    The UK is one of the few countries in the EU that has the opt-out option (it may be the only one). The EU are trying to force the UK to drop the opt-out choice.

  • Alianora La Canta29/08/2009 at 10:18

    what,exactly, is a bank holiday?

    A bank holiday is a day the government requires all companies to shut down for the day. Originally demanded by bankers, hence the name.

    Some professions such as the emergency services are exempt, but everyone else has to have the day off.

  • Alianora La Canta29/08/2009 at 10:20

    There is a local soft drinks company tha has the same policy. I have no idea why they care how much chocloate people eat

    Because the more chocolate eaten by workers, the less can be sold to customers.

  • Jeremy29/08/2009 at 10:29

    This is quite a different press conference

  • me29/08/2009 at 13:57

    Camping?

    not in that forest. not with a couple of laptops and recording equipment.

  • Alex Andronov29/08/2009 at 13:57

    Hotels it is then

    What with all the equipment I guess...

    phew... Glad Mr C was here...

    I'm not here...

  • Journeyer29/08/2009 at 13:58

    Back. Just watched quali at a bar/resto over dinner. Me and my girl seemed to be the only folks watching F1. A shame - it was a trully stunning qualifying.

  • Jeremy (GMT 10)29/08/2009 at 13:58

    We could go general admission and roam...

    matching t-shirts or just paint a letter each on our backs?

  • Paul29/08/2009 at 13:58

    *pretending I cant see everyone chatting about going to Spa*

  • Amy29/08/2009 at 13:59

    We could go general admission and roam...

    The 5' of me does not like roaming because I can't see anything, but I base this solely on one day of roaming in Melbourne.

  • Amy29/08/2009 at 14:00

    so tempted to make it a 3 week holiday and do Spa and Monza.... That would only leave Monaco on my to-do list for the future.

  • Alex Andronov29/08/2009 at 14:00

    not in that forest. not with a couple of laptops and recording equipment.

    I am very glad about this... I didn't want to be the only one who was on the side of not-camping...

    However I did make a solemn vow never to camp again.

    And I also use a LOT of electrictity and if we don't have wifi my roaming charge is going to be enormous!

  • Nick29/08/2009 at 14:01

    The 5' of me does not like roaming because I can't see anything, but I base this solely on one day of roaming in Melbourne.

    we could take a box :P

    I am with you there. If it doesn't have walls or a ceiling, and involves sleeping on the ground, I don't want to know.

  • Alex Andronov29/08/2009 at 14:02

    w00t!

    Awesomeness!

    If I spend 2 weeks exploring Europe...then....

    Who wants to come to Monza a fortnight later too :D

  • me29/08/2009 at 14:03

    Not including Britain, there's free travel between most EU countries, they signed this big agreement saying they'd remove passport controls except round the edges of the EU area. Britain were not co-operative.....

  • Alex Andronov29/08/2009 at 14:06

    I love this tweet from Sarah Holt: I am refering to my notes from Friday and guess who was tipping the Force Indias to do well this weekend. Me! Well, no it was Martin Brundle

    No no no. I mean you can travel freely between EU countries without any kind of passport.

    Those europeans do view the New Zealand threat with trepidation...

    Isn't this the normal getting in trouble strategy?

  • Alison29/08/2009 at 14:12

    When I was a kid, I went on holiday without a doll to push around in my pram and my parents bought me a big bottle of Spa water to strap in there. That is what Spa means to me..... less of this racetrack malarkey!

    I have spent quite a lot of time in Belgium for reasons too boring to go into.

    I have spent about 6 weeks or so there on and over over the last 20 years.

  • Amy29/08/2009 at 14:15

    You're going, Amy?

    yep :D I was 20% when it was bought up, as a pipe dream. Then I looked at flights when I was 50%, then I was 99%, and now I have told the world on facebook and my family, and am at 100%

    I need to roadtrip because it'd be a much better way to see THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD.

    Plus I could go to another country IN A TUNNEL. HOW COOL IS THAT.

    i said to dad this year that he has until i'm 18 to come with me to a gp... after that i refuse to make a huge effort to get him to come with me... i'll just go on my own :P he's been promising i can go to a gp for years and always lets me down. grr. mum is home and has already says it's a great idea, and will act as a massive encouragement to get through this coming year which will be tough.

  • Nick29/08/2009 at 14:24

    Well you can take the train the whole way there I think... But it's probably not appropriate for an F1 blog.

    i said to dad this year that he has until i'm 18 to come with me to a gp... after that i refuse to make a huge effort to get him to come with me... i'll just go on my own :P he's been promising i can go to a gp for years and always lets me down. grr. mum is home and has already says it's a great idea, and will act as a massive encouragement to get through this coming year which will be tough.

    my parents are coming over here in April next year which is a huge accomplishment for my dad. He got his passport the other week, and he is 61 years old and its the first time he has had one. I think secretly he is getting excited.

    My local radio station came up with things a Derbyshire cash machine might have, the funniest of which was:

    Logically speaking, you Brits are on the wrong side of the road. Not just for foreigners who drive on the right hand side of the road, but also for begining drivers in Britian, as shown by this crazy statment from a person teaching a driver who is drifting towards the middle....

    "Say on the right side of the road!" Now, did they mean the logically right (Left side for Brits) or the directionally right side of the road. (Could get yourself into an accident in less time to understand that statment...)

    If you don't feel up to organising it, I'm willing to stand in (even though I have no idea how I'd get there myself with my funding situation). Then you could tell Christine that it's a social event that happens to include some motorsport...

    Given that and the fact that the only driver in the top 5 with significantly more fuel is Trulli, I have suddenly a lot more confidence that Fisi will lead into the first corner. Given what happened the last two times he was allowed to do that, I suddenly have a lot more confidence...

    Oh, nothing....there's a cover plan for a sidepodtrip to Spa, but really it is just a way to get enough funding for a sidepodtrip to Montreal for the F1 race there.

    no. although i guess there's no reason why some couldn't camp and others live like normal human beings?

  • Neil Denham29/08/2009 at 17:05

    My Dad really wants to see a modern GP live (he last went in the 60's!!!) so I think next year we may go to Spa together, if you do go I am sure we can meet you for a pint (litre?) though!

    Just double checked my fantasy racers after qualifying. I'm going to lose some places methinks...

  • Lukeh29/08/2009 at 19:24

    I wonder if the title and chorus is what Mr C thinks when F1 really gets on his nerves...

    Just double checked my fantasy racers after qualifying. I'm going to lose some places methinks...

    It occurred to me earlier that the top three were Fisi, Trulli and Heidfeld.

    My FR team... Sutil... Glock... Kubica.

    D'oh!!

  • Chris29/08/2009 at 19:26

    My FR team... Sutil... Glock... Kubica.

    that's just bad luck!

  • lou29/08/2009 at 19:26

    What are you confused about? We can explain anything.

    today has been a confusing day, i was firstly confused as to why i was in my room when i woke up as i was convinced i should still have been in spain (it was a strange moment).. then i was confused about why photoshop was being mean to me and not letting me edit a photo... but i worked that out, then i was confused as to why it's so damn cold here... then as to why Jenson didn't make it into Q3... the list goes on... i think i could still be a little tired from the day of travelling yesterday...

  • gravit8ed29/08/2009 at 19:27

    It occurred to me earlier that the top three were Fisi, Trulli and Heidfeld.

    Would you believe I would have picked two of them for my team, had I actually gone ahead and joined?

  • Lukeh29/08/2009 at 19:27

    One loooooooove...

  • Christine29/08/2009 at 19:29

    i think i could still be a little tired from the day of travelling yesterday...

    Aww. Well...

    1) It's natural to be confused where you are, but isn't being in your own bed soooo nice? Best thing about coming home, I reckon.

    2) You sorted photoshop.

    3) It's cold because you're in the UK now, sorry about that ;)

    4) Jenson didn't make it into Q3 because it was a completely nutty session that saw Fisi on top! Nothing can be counted upon in a qualifying like that.

  • gravit8ed29/08/2009 at 19:42

    "Fisichella? Don't mess me about!"

    When i was trying (unsuccessfully) to avoid see the order I thought I saw fisi in the headline but I thought, 'Naww, couldn't have pole, must have wrecked or something'

    Me- ' Hey Dad, qualifying was amazing today!'

    Dad - 'So Button is on Pole then?'

    understood, I just wonder how Bernie expects us to watch it only within that tiny window when it's live.

    boggles the mind, it really does.

    I mean, I just want to see what happened so I can get more excited for the race. frustrating. If he was really concerned about growing the sport he'd change something here.

  • me29/08/2009 at 20:41

    they do these races over here called the 24 hrs of Lemons. $500 limit on purchase/parts, with lap penalties if they have 'hopped up' their car.

    Which can be anything. It looks like such good fun, they spread the racing out over a few days

  • Lukeh29/08/2009 at 20:49

    woah, double Mr C

    James Allen did not replace his header with mine. His opinion is invalid. :(

  • lou29/08/2009 at 21:25

    badoer is set to make his way straight to the front tomrrow, as he's been sandbagging these past 2 weeks

  • gravit8ed29/08/2009 at 21:27

    if you went on holiday and we found you out there screwing off and not podcasting, we'd probably lynch you?

    good enough reason?

    I hope they got my voicemail ok from today despite my croaky voice, it reveals some startling information about Luca

    free wine...excpet you bought it at some point.

    like finding money in your pocket and saying 'free money'

  • Lukeh29/08/2009 at 21:31

    Wine Freezepops?

    Interesting... you sound like my customers at work, who tend to put bread in freezers and cheese with bread.

  • Jon Waldock29/08/2009 at 21:32

    I'm not here (not sleeping)

    DONT PUT WINE IN FREEZER!! IT EXPLODES!!

  • lou29/08/2009 at 21:32

    i suppose you'll find out.... :D

  • Alison29/08/2009 at 21:32

    I find it so sweet that Mr C is just rambling to himself.... It's adorable.

    Ah there's Christine....

    P.S. Now you've claimed you're super organised, you are of course DOOMED!!!

  • lou29/08/2009 at 21:32

    DONT PUT WINE IN FREEZER!! IT EXPLODES!!

    as will many liquids in sealed glass bottles if frozen.... on the plus side it would make wine ice cubes...

  • 2008 SPC-land Fantasy Racers Champions Jordan F129/08/2009 at 21:33

    IRL race in 3.5 hours today...I think

  • Lukeh29/08/2009 at 21:33

    You need a tweeting freezer to tell you when timer is up and the status of the wine explosion.

  • Alison29/08/2009 at 21:33

    P.S. Now you've claimed you're super organised, you are of course DOOMED!!!

    You completely did say you were too organised!! Don't deny it now.....

  • gravit8ed29/08/2009 at 21:33

    it takes HOURS for wine to freeze

  • gravit8ed29/08/2009 at 21:34

    of course you've got two dozen people to remind you the wine is in the freezer

  • Chris29/08/2009 at 21:34

    DONT PUT WINE IN FREEZER!! IT EXPLODES!!

    We had that with Coke once. Problem was, it only exploded when my friend turned the cap and released the pressure. The cap shot up, smacking him on the chin, then loads of icy coke froth poured all over the floor.

  • gravit8ed29/08/2009 at 21:34

    unlike last time I tried to quick-chill my 40 oz beer.

    that is such a mess BTW

  • Lukeh29/08/2009 at 21:35

    Oh gosh, not another game idea, my mind is still recovering...

  • gravit8ed29/08/2009 at 21:35

    it'll take like 15-20mins for the wine to get cold, 2 mins might chill the bottle but not the wine

  • Lukeh29/08/2009 at 21:36

    I didn't have a cold this week it seems. My mind simply imploded soon after thinking about how that game actually worked.

  • lou29/08/2009 at 21:36

    am i going to have to watch the parade lap to?...

    i feel like i've missed out on loads :(

  • Pat W29/08/2009 at 21:36

    I was just looking it up. 9pm ET VERSUS / 2am GB but NOT live on Sky so other streams will be needed

  • lou29/08/2009 at 21:37

    okay.. not all the parade laps were totally about f1... *cough* Brazil *cough*....

  • Lukeh29/08/2009 at 21:37

    It's not worth trying to udnerstand it! It's as confusing as Ferrari's choice to keep Badoer.

  • gravit8ed29/08/2009 at 21:38

    current or former F1 drivers?

  • Chris29/08/2009 at 21:38

    how much time have we blown today?

    0.0 seconds? Simply untolerable!

    It won't freeze solid like water would. It can still expand and crack the bottle though.

    well it was NASCAR. that should explain it.

    IRL at IowaSpeedway was nice though. Glad they built that track

  • gravit8ed29/08/2009 at 21:46

    not nearly enough road tracks in the midwest though, one of the reasons I was enticed by Florida was it has a bunch of road courses in this region

  • Lukeh29/08/2009 at 21:48

    woah! funky loops!

    Strong Belgian beer in honour of Spa research results:

    Chimay is an interesting dark ale, I wouldn't have it that often but it is an interesting occasional choice.

    Leffe brown is similar with a less strong aftertaste, not at all unpleasant.

    Duvel is a very nice 'golden ale' but it is very very strong...

    Tyres. Too many others were messing around on the soft compounds even though showed the way with medium compounds. I'm wondering how the teams are going to manage the softs tomorrow because they were losing performance relative to the mediums incredibly quickly - and it's supposed to be hotter tomorrow.

    tis okay. it's not awful. but i like the technology behind bittorrent and wish it would find more take up (hence why we use it), but it's alway associated with illegal content, which gives it a bad name.

    I'm not sure what it could be used for legitimately though.

    and there's a big grey area still.

    we're using it legitimately, right now. it's a great way to distribute content, at zero cost to the producer.

    bbc iplayer uses a variation of it to share downloaded program amongst viewers.

  • gravit8ed29/08/2009 at 23:06

    I have a fever for some reason...crap.

    IMO, BT is a fantastic idea, and I'm not shy about using it for music and movies and everything else.

  • gravit8ed29/08/2009 at 23:08

    course the music I listen to is mostly techno stuff, which is usually considered free use anyways by the producers

  • Pat W29/08/2009 at 23:08

    Which is great! I tend to d/l straight from the site (or the feed actually - I ought to set it up to catch it in Winamp with the new showselector!).

    bbc iplayer uses a variation of it to share downloaded program amongst viewers.

    I'm not sure they do any more, now they've moved from Kontiki?

  • gravit8ed29/08/2009 at 23:08

    The problem with F1 having such a tight grip on content is soo backwards though. I mean, its not as if they release a big dvd of all the races in high def or anything at the end of the season

  • me29/08/2009 at 23:08

    I'm not sure they do any more, now they've moved from Kontiki?

    ahh, possibly. shall have to look into it again.

  • Pat W29/08/2009 at 23:09

    IMO, BT is a fantastic idea, and I'm not shy about using it for music and movies and everything else.

    I am. I only use it for racing stuff on channels I don't have. I don't use it for music and I don't use it for films. After all, racing isn't sold per event...

    keeps the value of the broadcast high. like i said. in the uk, we have access to all things you're after because the bbc is happy to pay for it.

    you need to hassle speed to up their payments, rather than bernie.

  • gravit8ed29/08/2009 at 23:13

    The thing with movies is the idea of 'owning' a disk is very outdated. I usually only watch a movie once and having stacks of cases in your living room only serves to advertise either your 'status' or the movies themselves, which in turn is free advertising for greedy hollywood people with no connection to the actual content

    I like owning a collection of DVDs or CDs. It shows who you are, your tastes, your interests. It will take me some time to adjust completely to the 'on-demand' culture.

    I'm appreciative of the costs involved in broadcasting, and gladly support efforts to maintain a high quality of the live sources and transmission, but if you are busy, have some sort of, say life, or simply dont own a tv or subscribe to the idea of scheduling your time around events halfways around the world, well, you're SOL

    wanna watch qually again. now. you can.

  • gravit8ed29/08/2009 at 23:17

    not enough of an audience over here for it I guess. Speed is incredibly behind the curve as far as online content - most of their 'news' is simply regurgitated posts from FOM

  • gravit8ed29/08/2009 at 23:18

    plus the beeb is all-knowing over there isnt it? I mean, they've got such a huge built-in base vs Speed, a subsidiary of FOX, which I hate with a passion because they're always busy trying to set the american people back into the stone ages

    Dont get me wrong, I'm a huge movie fan and would gladly pay more for quality content that shows the vision of the director, writers, etc...but so much out now is just a formulaic BS take on what some suits and bean counters think will make the most money

    Like District 9 was one of the best movies I've seen in a very long time, it shows great vision and a solid resolution to bring a concept forth with as little need to give way to some a-hole thats never set foot on a movie set.

    Most of the budget came after it was already filmed due to f/x that peter jackson happily financed because he saw the potential.

  • lou29/08/2009 at 23:22

    True(ish)... not sure if that hasn't always been true though. Nobody repeats the formulaic BS from the forties and fifties though.

    True(ish)... not sure if that hasn't always been true though. Nobody repeats the formulaic BS from the forties and fifties though.

    simply because that doesnt make money anymore.

    its like music on the radio (I HATE the radio BTW). they've spent so much money on getting user stats simply to leverage their crap content into sales.

  • gravit8ed29/08/2009 at 23:32

    huh. after breaking out my never-used thermo, it reads 98.6.

    must just be a fluke.

    In the UK radio sucks too. Commercial radio sucks doubly so, although apparently XFM is quite good. Not being in a major city I don't get get to hear it unless I go hunting on their website and I can't be bothered.
