I won’t be seeing much of BBC’s coverage of the British Grand Prix as I’ll be at the track. For those of you who can’t make it this year, here’s when all the action will be on British TV:
Friday 19th June
9:55-11:35 – First practice (BBC Red Button, online)
13:55-15:35 – Second practice (BBC Red Button, online)
Saturday 20th June
09:55-11:05 – Third practice (BBC Red Button, online)
12:10-14:20 – Qualifying (BBC1, BBC Red Button, online)
Sunday 21st June
12:10-15:30 – British Grand Prix (BBC1, BBC Red Button, online)
15:30-16:00 – Post-race forum (BBC Red Button, online)
Please post details of coverage in your area below.
Aussies ( those blessed with digital terrestrial ) on OneHD:
qualie: 11:00 PM to 12:20

Yeah, we have to delay the F1 so we can watch the Swans play Collingwood. Which should be fascinating!
Sorry I can’t keep that up any longer, what a boring game.
so no kangaroo tv for you? if i make it to germany (prob unlikely) I’ll definitely be renting one. is there any reason some people don’t like to get one? (besides price)
The only comment I`ve heard is that they can distract from what`s going on in front of you
You may need to consider what’s going to be happening around your ears. I find earpieces OK under proper eardefenders but I know some people struggled with the circuit & engine noise.
I guess that will also depend on where you are watching from, gen.
Yeah I dont see the point of going to a race to watch a tiny screen with ear plugs in.
Go to watch the racing then check the big screens every now and then to keep track on the race.

There are also, I notice, a fine selection of biographies about Jackie Stewart, Graham Hill and Jim Clark on BBC 4 over the weekend.
As this will be my first GP will they show the BBC feed before the race on Kanagroo or big TV’s
They haven’t in the past – I imagine they’d have to pay to do that. They have their own ‘Silverstone TV’ where they show interviews and things like that.
