F1 - Melbourne.. Predictions??

ryan · #1 26-03-2009

Im getting all excited now! Not long tell the first F1 race of the year, anyone got any predictions?

Im going to be backing Brawn GP, i think JB deserves a good season!

DCM · #2 26-03-2009

well, there will be a little race... then a procession, lots of controversy and, dare I add, some deflated ego's from pre-season testing results.

I do think McLaren have sandbagged, Brawn have run underweight to gain attention and attract sponsors, Alonso will be up there, somewhere... a red car.

Oh, and all cars will look really odd, like they are filming head on shots, with a Fish Eye lense.... haha

I think if you follow the 10 lap runs most teams have been doing Brawn were around 3/4-1 second faster over a stint. I was following the testing closely and the pace does look genuine.

Kubica for the win

millzy · #5 26-03-2009

toyota or Williams for a shock win if Brawn GP get stuck in a battel holding the big guns off.

What network broadcasts the races in the U.K? Here in Sweden it has been moved to a satellite operator so the general public cant watch it anymore

. Last year everybody had acces to the events but now perhaps 3% of the population

. It sucks bigtime.

Southwell · #12 26-03-2009

BBC. It will be on Iplayer but it's only available in the UK i believe.

David Church · #13 26-03-2009

Enjoy the race guys, I will be at the Players 09 meeting!!!!

Sky is set to record it, and I can allways catch a bit at the hotel before I go commentate!!!

And Ian, if you can spend that much on booze, you should have gone racing instead!!!!

Here in Norway there's these options now:

-Viasat Premium package (expensive). Shown on Viasat Motor.
-RTL. Good & cheap! But you'd better understand german...
-a rerun will be shown on SportN

How about TV4?

I'd love to watch in on BBC, those commentators are great! But as you say it's available only on sattelite not cable...
