SKY Formula 1 channel 408 up and running today .........

blooming heck bit early aren't they! launch isn't until 9th!

My box arrived today but not going to hook it up until the week before the race no point paying when I haven't got my HD tv yet.

[Chrizzzie]

It comes with the standard package or not? I should get Skysports soon as well.

[PremierStreams]

For the Sky F1 Channel, you either need to be subscribed to Sky Sports 1 & 2 or have the HD pack.

i posted it here because it were mostly f1 cars, but also rally, dtm and other cars
btw, my favorite is the black and gold lotus f1 car. it looks already great on tv but when you stand in front of it its even more beautiful!

Hi guys, Just tried to watch the Fi preview show but it seems my computer or more likly my download speed is too slow to watch it without pausing to catch up.

Can I do anything to allow me to watch it without pauses?

If so please tell me how to, I am useless with computers so you would have to tell me step by step.

Sorry I am a pain but I would love to watch F1

respect to vettel for this:
http://motorsport.nextgen-auto.com/R...tel,39058.html

The team was heard on the radio instructing the reigning back-to-back world champion to retire his car, ostensibly because of dangerously high brake temperatures.
So often were the calls unheeded that Vettel’s engineer Guillaume ’Rocky’ Rocquelin ultimately declared it an "emergency".
A late-race retirement, with Vettel definitely out of the points following his clash with Narain Karthikeyan, would have allowed Red Bull to install a new gearbox in his car for the forthcoming event in China.

And the 24-year-old let slip immediately after the race: "Of course you can save the car, but I wanted to see the chequered flag.
"I think that’s how it should be."

red bull are a bunch of cheaters i hope they wont get a win this season...

lol fair play to Vettel, right attitude to have.

However, I have to take issue with someone that calls RB cheaters and is happy at Ferrari winning? They invented 'cheating' in F1.

[TscHeChan]

i didn´t like that when they cheated either ("fernando is faster than you, can you confirm you understood that felipe?!" ). its too much political decisions already in formula one, so the teams should at least play with the rules.....

so we saw 4 races with 4 different winners yet, that could be the closest season since a long time!
and the iceman is finally back in business! go kimi!!!

btw, why didn´t rosberg got penalised for hs actions with alonso and hamilton?! he didn´t let them enough space on the outside which is clearly against the rules.

Out of the blue, Sauber F1 do Chelsea deal

Sauber cars will sport the blue logo of Champions League finalists Chelsea from next week's Spanish Grand Prix as part of a deal between the Swiss-based Formula One team and the English Premier League club. "A partnership like this between Formula One and football has never existed before in this form, yet there are numerous commonalities and possible synergies," Sauber Chief Executive, Monisha Kaltenborn, said in a statement on Monday. "The Sauber F1 Team and Chelsea FC are dealing with many of the same sporting and commercial topics and we want to strengthen each other in these areas."
