I love my SkySports and couldn't be without it (football) but saying that if the only reason to get sky was for F1 I wouldn't do it at all not if there was highlights on the BBC

They are at least being kind enough to give the F1 channel to people who have HD, you don't have to have the Sky Sports pack. But I can't have Sky here so got no choice.

I'm annoyed that Sky have only allowed Virgin to offer it via the Sports pack - so £22.50 a month just to watch 10 races live......not doing that unless it gets discounted Confusedad:

I don't understand why the BBC aren't showing a full re-run rather than extended highlights - I believe they are entitled to do so, they're just not.

i've got my dish pointed towards the "old" astra satellites, so i'll either have to learn german or just tune into radio 5 for the cometary. just can't watch all the races in hd this year Sad

not really liking the look of the cars this year. the mclaren is the only car that looks good. will have to see what the tyres are like as well, some might say they started to last a little too long towards the end of 2011.

There are a handful of sites streaming the races for free. Google it for details.

Mercedes Benz W03 at Silverstone testing yesterday (you could hear this from my office lol). Possibly the most severe nose step yet!

In other news, Caterham have confirmed that Jarno Trully will NOT be driving for them this year, as they have secured Vitali Petrov instead. I have updated my earlier post accordingly. This marks the first time since 1970 there hasn't been an Italian driver on the grid.

That's really cool, and yes given how beautiful last year's Merc was a bit of a shame they haven't been able to maintain the aesthetics, but if it's quick who cares!

Can't be a proper test though, must just be some promo stuff for the new car launch.

No it was a media day. They're only allowed to use a particular kind of Pirelli test tyre and can't do more than 100KM.
