[Simo]

Just found out the 1st race of the season is showing on ITV at 2am... Im up doing some stuff at the moment and am thinking about ataying up to watch the race!

Starts at 2am on ITV1... anyoe else watching it? :P

[Baz]

i don't see why not, seem to be up past then most days so may aswell watch something fairly decent on tele!

[xsmile_be_happyx]

[Luke]

I was tempted to stay up as I didn't go out tonight, but I'm quite tired to be honest.

I think Kimi is in pole too.

[Jaytee]

Im knackered but will probs stay up as i have trouble sleeping sometimes. so think il stay up an watch it with a can or two. :y:

[Simo]

How did the new youngster do... watched a documentary on his career the other night but didnt see his qualifying results?

[Mitchell]

race starts at 3am a think... bit late for me.

Sauber has a strong car this year... hope they do well :D

[Luke]

How did the new youngster do... watched a documentary on his career the other night but didnt see his qualifying results?

only bridgestones will be used this season

all the rules right here, pretty good read actually, (right hand side is english)
