Haven't watched quali and don't want to be spoiled. Could a good citizen of GAF PM me a place where I can watch qualification? I have no idea how to even google for such a thing because I know I'd end up being spoiled by a news headline if I search for it. Would really appreciate if someone could help me out here.
Making this post was difficult cause I had to close my eyes and find the post comment button. Can't read this thread yet.

It was cancelled after Q1 because of rain, it will be run on Sunday morning before the race.

Ah, so the thread is hidden away in OT community.
Good to know. Now I don't have to feel guilty about not buying a subscription. Watching it on RTL, improving my german at the same time lol. Really hate the lock my favourite sport behind the coder-trend going on though.
Aaaaand the BBC is back bitches.

Oh man F1 is back, so excited.
This year I can watch sky on my ipad so it should be a lot easier then having to go take over our main room for hours at a time, I also have no bets on anyone yet so I should get around to that, not that I won anything last year
BBC only have about half the races again this year?
Also ah forgot to make a fantasy team, oh well.

No, Ronald van Dam. Robert Doornbos will do the co-commentary tomorrow.

Oh for christ sake, I've been avoiding the news this morning for nothing! Oh well.
The BBC are showing the rest of qualifying at 5.15am tomorrow morning.

Spare a though for those of us who woke up at 5.45am to watch it
I'll spare NOTHING! I'm long past the days of bothering to do that, I'd inevitably fall asleep before the end of the race anyway.

Bah. Have to hope that my Tivo will record the qualifying highlights properly tomorrow. It's not currently showing on the schedule so I've told it to record every show that's when it should be.

Any word if NBC Sports will be showing Q2 and Q3?

MLS game is scheduled for that time on the channel.
midnight
Shame. I was hoping for a SunhiLegend quality gif of this.
Your gifs are the reason I lurked F1GAF before I was approved.

Not as lucky as Hamilton. Had reversing not unbeached him it would have been an embarrassing way to go out of Q1.
Yeah and that..Rosberg looked much more impressive
I just couldn't believe Massa's suspension didn't break. The impact was pretty heavy
Suzy Perry was utter crap as a host in the lunch time quali show.
Qualifying has totally fucked up my plans now for tomorrow. Heading out tonight for a massive one, was hoping to head home and watch the race blind drunk, then sleep, but now I have to record quali, watch it first, then head off to football, then come back and watch the race ages later.

What did she do wrong? It was a highlights show, there wasn't much to do.

Then what time is the race? 2am still?
8pm quali works out well. Hope I can stay awake for the race.
Speaking without stuttering would be a good start. She also sounds and talks to you like a teacher, and I know it's early days but I saw no real chemistry between her and anyone on there.

Still better than Lazenby. Though I suspect putting a large rock in front of the camera would provide more compelling viewing than Lazenby manages.

Why is Whiting still head of race control? every time bad weather hits a race weekend he goes with the whole routine of delaying and delaying, the more years pass by the more they delay races due to rain, F1 maybe should be like NASCAR and if it rains the meeting is cancelled because anything other than light showers means a very very dangerous condition for cars and drivers.
just no
How does that work. Are NASCAR races cheap to put on? Do people not care?
I cant see them ever cancelling a formula 1 race, under any circumstances. They would sooner sit behind the safety car for 50 laps than cancel it.
There is too much money involved
Hmm, when she was interviewing Christian Horner you could tell she was struggling to get some words out, but I'm sure it will improve as she gets more comfortable with the sport and gets to know the people.
I hope
Yeah.
Jake was awful at the start too. Give her a few races to see how it goes.
Although I thought the same thing about Simon Lazenby too
They don't cancel a NASCAR race if there is rain and make every attempt necessary to try to get the race in. If they havent reached a certain point they can reschedule as well.There are jet driers mounted on trucks that will make laps to dry the track out.
They only have slicks and the heavily banked turns mean that any rain will cause massive problems. The road course races will run in the wet and wet tires are provided.

The cars are much harder to drive in the wet than they used to be given that they're so heavily reliant on aero. There's not much he can do.
As for Perry, I've never been keen on her but its way too early to judge her. Not only does it take time to adjust to a new crew and that comes with the F1 circus, but it's easily the biggest job she's ever had. Big pressure.

Now they're saying 12:30AM EST for Q, and the previously scheduled 2AM for the race.

Nice that NBC is going to show Q2/Q3. Means I have to stay away from this thread for a few hours so it is "live" to me.
Only flaw that I personally have with the stuff yesterday was the late start time. If they started earlier there would be more time to get everything in before the daylight was gone. If they started at 9 AM Europe could stay up late and watch the race

I was thinking the same thing, 9AM in Australia would be 8pm/9pm here, so its not even late.
Although 9AM is a very early start for a race, but they could have even started at 11am & it could have worked for European audiences.
