    btw: free practice is technically today, rather than tomorrow.

    Haven’t listened yet, but…

    free practice is technically today

    I thought Free Practice was on Friday? Today is Thursday. Although, maybe briefly, it could be Friday in Australia while it is still Thursday in the UK. Are you messing with my mind? Off to listen to the ‘cast which probably clarifies my nonsense.

    It is Friday in Australia. So Free Practice starts in just over an hour.

    Honestly, you expect me to be able to podcast and tell the time as well? I’m not wonder woman, you know!!

    I need a bigger screen - live timing, ITV video feed and my forum don’t all fit on a 19″ monitor!!!

    Will there be a live chat here? or is there somewhere you can recommend? It would be great if there was a live chat here for races. :D
    And does anyone know where about on the itv f1 site you can find the live stream, i have been searching but can’t find it. i bet its just there in front of me, but if someone could give me a nudge in the right direction….

    If you click Video on the left nav bar, and then click Live Video. Nothing’s happening yet, it just says “starts at 11pm.”

    You’re not??? Another illusion out of the window… ;-)

    100 radio sets for 80 people makes sense I think. Teams invite guests during the weekend and I think they’re usually allowed to listen in. And of course there’s always the possibility that some sets break down.

    Thanks for this warm-up!
