F1 2012

I am very excite! Who will triumph in 2012?

It pains me to say it will undoubtedly be Vettel. But seriously, I think I even like Hamilton more than him.

I really hope Webber does well in Melbs, even if he does average throughout the year, I want him to dominate his home track.

Results are very mixed so far! Im still going for Kimi, that car just looks too nice, and is surprisingly fast. I think it will be a Mclaren championship most likely now (despite my username I am not a Mclaren follower these days), unless Mercedes really take that next step up, or Redbull find some updates that work to fix the balance of the car.

It's been a good season so far. The usual guys aren't always at the front and it's good to see more of a mix of guys up there rather than the same 6 drivers from the big 3 teams at the front.

Also shame on network 10. They now show the race on channel 10 at 9:30 in every state. That means for me, in SA, it is half an hour delay. WA, 2 hours delay. Also it is shown in SD, not HD anymore like it was on ONE. Right now I am watching it live on their stream online in terrible quality. No one likes their decision to do this and I and everyone else hopes they change it back to what it used to be, live and in HD on ONE everywhere in Australia.

Im in WA, and utterly outraged over it Channel Ten can take its ratings hunt and shove it where the sun don't shine ..

Do you guys know of anywhere good to stream for future events? I am beyond pissed about this & Sunday night didn't feel the same with the delay, **** tv quality & couldn't follow live timings or twitter as I normally do during a race. Sigh

On a brighter note, yes this season has been awesome so far! Different podiums & winners, the field is SO TIGHT this year not only in the mid-field but up front too. I'm glad my Williams finally have a half decent car but the double DNF in Bahrain was a bit of a let down!

Sadly I don't mate, though I read Channel Ten are doing a live online stream of races too, but those wankers can get stuffed as far as I am concerned now.

Maybe this gets borderline onto stuff we can't speak about on forums, but I think from past there is often some stream getting sent to justin.tv

So for us in SA & WA we get what we had previously? On ONE in HD? I suppose now there is a legit stream we can watch.

Well yes it seems so though it sucks for the others states that have to deal with old age SD still on Ten

I had actually just sent out a bunch of emails to the broadcast sponsors stating my concerns etc, as many others have. Then as I finished I saw that post from Ten Sport. Even Mark Webber sent them a tweet 30min ago saying it was not good enough.

"hey guys we have this great HD channel we're gonna use for live sport!"

MASH rerun, MASH rerun, cops, cops, cops etc etc. Glad it's live for me, but I bought a HD tv for a reason. PUT IT ON BOTH SO I CAN WATCH IT IN HD! Muppets, the lot of them.

OMG YESSS, good news

[jambo]

Good to hear that ONE in SA will have the F1s live, sucks for our eastern brothers though =[

McLaren you disgraceful ****. Hami finished his blistering qualifying lap half a second in-front of the field, but then despite official rules stating he must complete another lap then pit, his team told him to pull over and he was pushed into the garage. Essentially, the car ran light on fuel and they did this so as to have enough fuel left to provide the mandatory sample.

Pole position lost.

I'd be excited for Maldonado who now has pole, but after Melbourne I really don't like the guy.

Kobayashi in 9th, continuing his strong rise to eventual glory in 2014 (you heard it here first).

Loving Ten's streaming service, this is absolutely how I'd prefer to watch my TV. Although, it's easier to ignore ads and surf other sites so I don't think it will take off.
