Go Lewis Hamilton

Apparently they're going to have a multi-screen type setup going on with live timing and other stuff on the red button. Sounds excellent.

Oh. I almost forgot the best news of all. They are using Fleetwood Mac - The Chain as the theme tune due to popular demand. They were going to use something else originally.

Nice, can finally watch pratice on tv instead of online.

OH MY GOD, WHY ARE THEY ON AT 1 IN THE MORNING? GO BACK TO ITV!

Because it's live from Australia? lol... They are re-running it later if you cba.

ps. Did you know ITV's coverage wasn't always live even though they said it was?

Apparently if something happened during (but close to) a break, they'd stop the tapes for a few minutes until they came back. The TV controller people got in a strop about this apparently and told them to stop.

Also, because of all the adverts on ITV over the last 12 years, a total of 31 complete races worth of coverage has not been shown!

ITV can't do anything sports-related.

No adverts at last :) :)

Finally we will be able to watch live Friday practice on tv. Also BBC iPlayer

BBC HD is what I'm looking forward to, if they're doing it :S

I don't think they are showing HD :(
