Might as well not bother with qualifying.

 

[isamu]

I have a question I'm hoping someone can answer:

Does the BBC Sports broadcast channel air repeats of the qualifying and race events? If so, how many hours after the Live broadcast do they re-air them? Please let me know, since I will not be able to watch them live

As far as I remember, the Beeb don't repeat the Euro races because they're already on during the afternoon.

You can just watch them on the iPlayer if you're in the UK.

But Im in the US, and the qualy and race will be on at 4AM. Does this iPlayer thing allow me to watch those events after they happen?

Ark, please answer and help me out mate, because I really don't wanna miss it

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

If you use torrents I can give you an invite code to Demonoid.

I use that site to download HD versions of BBC's coverage, because I don't have BBC HD.

If you're in the UK, and the UK only, you can watch all of the F1 races and interviews, red buttons stuff, everything, all on the BBC iPlayer. You can watch them live and for 7 days after the race is finished.

But the iPlayer doesn't save the races in HD.

@Foliorum: I thought you were in the UK? How can you NOT have BBC HD?

I refuse to pay for HD on top of my normal subscription charge.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

And I live in a shitty part of Wales where the signal drops half the time on Freeview as it is.

I wish BBC would put it up in HD on the iPlayer. Cheap pikey bastards.

Spoiler

<3 the Beeb really.

Yeah, only US here. If the BBC rebroadcasts a repeat of the event, I was thinking maybe one of the streaming sites would air it. But no one seems to know if they air repeats of the races

They repeat the early races (Asian ones) but I'm not so sure about the Euro races.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

It's alright I've hooked him up to become a massive F1 pirate :O

 

[AcridMeat]

This reminds me I need to get the last GP to hold close forever.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

I love Acrid. That is all.

Nothing to see here.

 

[Ark]

MW: F1 needs to remain free-to-air.

It's nice to see FOTA taking a balanced stance on the whole buyout matter, if anything I'd say they're leaning towards a Newscorp. buyout.

 

[AndyD]

Can you PM me info/invite? Demonoid can be a bit slow when it comes to F1.

Cheers BRAH.

Edit: Only if they upload BBC in HD though.

Same here. Been using demonoid, but would love a better alternative.

 

[operon]

have they got classic f1

 

[Edmond Dantès]

P3 starting.

 

[Stop It]

P3 starting.

Indeed.

While this track isn't my favourite, the Chinese GP shown that sometimes an amazing GP can come out of a not so great track.

So, RBR still in front, or is the McLaren now basically on par? I still reckon that Vettel (despite his off yesterday) will be the best bet for pole, but with the tyres in play, you never know where the race will go. Hoping for Mercedes to close up a bit too, and for Renault to get back some of their early season pace.

 

[Joseph Merrick]

ah jaime. YOU NOOB

 

[AcridMeat]

Here's hoping Britney splits the Red Bulls.

Also steam group chat. Where the fuck are you lovely Australians.

 

[navanman]

Red Bull and Vettel looking very fast this morning.

Mercedes also showing the same good speed as yesterday.

 

[Dead Man]

Looks like I'll be missing the qualy, have to go to mothers day dinner (not even my mother) :/ Have fun guys.

 

[Joseph Merrick]

holy shit nico

 

[AcridMeat]

Nice slide Rosberg, that left front tire looked grim.

 

[DrM]

Damn, RBR on hard tyre is almost as fast as Ferrari on softer

 

[AcridMeat]

Holy fuck Schumi, that's what we like to see.

Oh god I just rooted for Schumacher.

 

[Joseph Merrick]

yeah. really nice msch lap there

alonso car fucked again. hoo boy

 

[DrM]

Hydraulics or gearbox problem for Alonso

 

[Sew]

Vettel 126.037
Schumacher 126.038

Hehe. Wish I had more than live timing to watch.

 

[Joseph Merrick]

Vettel 126.037
Schumacher 126.038

Hehe. Wish I had more than live timing to watch.

vettel was slowed a bit in s3 behind liuzzi

but still. very cool the mercs are so close now

 

[Lucius86]

Vettel 126.037
Schumacher 126.038

Hehe. Wish I had more than live timing to watch.

He was severely held up at the end of the lap - Vettel would have been 0.5 secs faster that lap.

 

[Joseph Merrick]

also, still doesn't seem like vettel kers works?

 

[navanman]

Ferrari are shocking bad so far this weekend. Alonso be mad!!

 

[John_B]

Qualifying will be interesting. Mercedes looks god. McLaren has more to give. Red Bull's advantage is shrinking. Ferrari might surprise.

 

[DrM]

Mclaren did not bring as many upgrades as others, they will bring some huge stuff into Barcelona

What i would like to see is Vettel vs The Old one in first corner

Ferrari will replace engine in Felipe's car, as a precaution and they will check Fernando's

Scorecard: Istanbul Qualifying
Posted: Saturday May 07th 2011, 09:50 GMT
The Scorecard is a handy tool for you to have during qualifying. It provides a handy overview of a drivers best and worst qualifying results. How did drivers do during their career, this season or on this track. Know the stats before the commentators on TV mention them.

Interesting stats, I'm hoping Kobayashi will have a one by his name eventually.

 

[Templar Wizard]

better now than Qualifying

 

[S. L.]

isn't mothers day tomorrow ? :O

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Depends on what part of the world you're in.

Really enjoyed that segment on the Williams factory. Wish we had more segments like that.

 

[Stop It]

I liked the insight into the Williams development process. of course the problem in F1 is simple, for every .1s that a team gains, usually the other teams will have done the same soon enough, so the targets move along with the improvements. The key is staying ahead of the development process, something Newey seems to be adept at.

Anyway, as for Quali, otherwise known as the Vettel show. I honestly can't see any result other than Vettel on pole, but we'll see. More interesting is the Ferrari/Mercedes/Renault battle. Mercedes look quicker, and Ferrari need to improve very badly. I honestly don't want to call it, but I wouldn't be shocked to see Rosberg 5th or maybe higher if the top two teams have problems.

 

[Shaneus]

What are the chances of rain? That's about the only way Webber will have a shot.

 

[satriales]

Yeah that was a very good feature. Seeing how much time and effort goes into developing that one part and then it gets smashed in practice and isn't even used for the race.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

No rain predicted for either the race or qualifying.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Kobayashi out.

 

[Stop It]

Darn. Kobayashi's car failed and didn't make it to the pit lane, so that's the non "new team" car out of Q1 then. Of course that means that the teams can now avoid using soft tyres too, so that helps everyone else.

 

[Lach]

Can Koby now participate at the race tomorrow, or is he out due to the 107% rule?

 

[Shaneus]

Yaaaay Webber's gonna make it past Q1.

Can Koby now participate at the race tomorrow, or is he out due to the 107% rule?

I'd hope that in his case, they'd make an exception (as can be done in exceptional circumstances). I'd honestly think that rule only applies when it's a shithouse team/driver. Koby should be fine. Fingers crossed.

Di Resta 18th

Edit: 9th! Fucking great effort.
