By the way can we make this thread a sticky? (El_Bando did ask for it when he started the thread)
 
Saturday looks set to be a riot. ;)

This extra two weeks is killing me, it should be day two of the final test today. Curse Bahrain and their quest for human rights. :emoticon-0121-angry
 
Can you put up the weekend event schedules..

How shall I put it... from when they are aired on the BBC, for example if the race started at 6, the BBC would be broadcasting earlier with interviews and news.
So can you list in terms of the earliest broadcasting start rather than Race or Quali start.

Thanks.
 
Ctrl+c and Ctrl+v from autosport:

"All four Pirelli compounds have been available in the winter tests held so far, but for this week's Catalunya session only the hard and soft tyres will be in use, as these compounds have been chosen as the selection for the first three grands prix of the season, making this the most representative test so far according to Pirelli's motorsport boss Paul Hembery."
 
Oh thats a good point, with the Bahrain GP gone, are the BBC showing the test instead? I might actually get to see some F1 on iplayer then!
 
Urgh, why do the BBC always pass up the opportunity to do a really geeky, tech-minded F1 show for all the fans out there who enjoy more than just the racing? Most of the time they try to go into any details they barely skim the surface, it annoys me sometimes - I've known the broad concepts of aerodynamics they explain since I was 6.
