F1 – anyone up?

Reckon Lewis will put it on P1 and then work his way back up to the front tomorrow.

Mercs 2 and 3?

I’m up but ploughing down the M40 so no tellybox.

Yup, but about to go to work so I’m going to miss most of it……

Yep, been working since 6 but may sneak into the canteen for q3 😉

i’m up and sitting working in Doha. no bbc live stream or radio coverage so web text updates all the way, same for tomorrow. 🙁

Two small children = up since 5.30!

I’m up, been on nightshift just got in at start. Who the bloomin heck is the bumbling commentator with DC, he is getting irritating.

Vettel – HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA 😀

Ouch, Vettel out in P2. Wonder what odds that would have got down the bookies??

my son got up at 715 so I’m watching though he’s asking for his programmes…

Vettel 11!

Vettel hahahahahaaaaaaa.

I reckon Hammy will struggle to get P1 today though. Button is struggling too.

Watching it with my 4 year old, his blanket and several Mr Men toys. So I’m not seeing that much.

We both like Georgie in her red dress.

nice one nico.

merc front row. interesting

I guess that it gives Nico an answer finally when people ask what he’s actually ever done in F1

It’s set up for a good race though. Hamilton and Vettel charging through the field, decent cars behind the Mercs. I’d love to see kimi have a good race too.

Kamui is tiny!

Sauber really deserve some decent sponsorship

all the younger ones are these days

who’s up and ready now, then? 🙂

yep ready and excited to see how this one unfolds

When is the start, 7 or 8am?

7 UK time start.

The race is 8am UK time. The show is 0630 on Sky or 0700 on BBC.

I’m looking forward to it, great potential to be the most exciting race for a while

Yup, but about to leave for work again……. Keep me posted please!

ah right, my mistake – it’s a pain trying to actually work out when it starts when you’re in a different time zone. surprisingly complicated!

I reckon the mercs will drive away with it……

until their tyres go on lap 5

Schmi to lead after lap 1. Hamilton for the win.

There’s no way that the Mercs will stay ahead. Whatever peoples opinion of him is I honestly think this is Hamiltons race.

I can’t wait to see what Kimi and Kamui can do to entertain

Yep – hamo for the win. Just hope he doesn’t get tagged on lap 1

I’m up and its on. I thought the beeb had lost F1? My 18 month old son is enjoying it!

They have 10 races live

Have they stopped talking to Vettel??

The start could well be carnage with so many fast starters hurried in the pack. Schumacher will take full advantage of being on the clean side too. Plus Alonso will be belting up through.

Most difficult race to call for….I can’t remember!

Looking forward to it

What is Georgie wearing?

Anyone feel sorry for vettel?

Haven’t watched F1 for years as it got so dull.. 8 laps in I see nothing’s changed…..

this is pretty atypical for races in the last couple of seasons so far. There were over 70 overtakes in this race in 2011…

From the start I would have said Button is in with a good chance, but the mercs aren’t falling back as predicted, plus Kimi is keeping up with him well, should be an interesting one.

Anyone feel sorry for vettel?

No!

Listening on 5 Live and James Alan is making a dull race even worse.

Kimi’s looking really good out there
