    ah fantastic! I’m away at a non-f1 person’s (my girlfriend) house this weekend and am leaving at midday on Friday so I was worried that first practice would either be too early to wake up for or too late to watch before catching the train but it’s at the perfect time! Hooray!

    1. Australia:
      P1: 5PM
      P2: 9PM
      P3: 6PM
      Qualifying: 9PM
      RACE: 10PM

      These are NOT Channel 10/ONE times, they are the times that the race is going LIVE in Bahrain. If you can get hold of one of the BBC’s feeds, you can watch it at these times.

      :)

  2. Australia. I’m showing ONE in Sydney:

    practice: none { although rerun of Mark Webber challenge is on }
    qualie: Sat2345 { delayed }
    race: Sun2150 { lead up from 2100 }

    I not complain too much, as atleast I get the race live – it saves my Internet data quota.

      Yeah I’m with you Benno, at least the race is live.
      Besides Saturday is Anzac day and I am up at Dawn to see the service so an early night and watch qually Sunday Morning sounds like a plan.

  3. I’ll miss the race at the BTCC. Record the race though.

    Hi!

    Can we see the BBC broadcast on-line from other countries in Europe? I have had some experience with TV series websites than say the contents – episode previews and other video stuff, are not available in my area, or something like this.

    Thx.

    I am in Tasmania and we have a HD tele and everything, but I can not get One. I can only get channel Ten and they do not broadcast practice or qualifying. Can One even be viewed in Tasmania anyone?
