F1 - South Korea

Well I got up this morning to watch my carefully recorded Grand Prix, and what did I get 2 hours of rain, followed by the first few actual laps. RATS!

Ok so I fired up the netbook to watch it online, and go to the BBC website and the first thing you see is the result plastered all over. Damn, damn, damn!

So anyway, I managed to get the GP up on the BBC iplayer and settled to watch on the netbook's huge 9.1" screen. Wow!(My big laptop is away having a new screen)
The race got to about 15 laps from the end and the iplayer coverage runs out. WHAT? Oh well done BBC, thanks a lot!

So then I have to search around trying to find coverage of the rest of the race. Finally managed to see all the race but in so many disjointed parts! Very very disappointed.

Now I have to wait until 1400hrs to see the whole race in one go!

Now I don't know whether I'm glad or sad I didn't get up to watch it live. If I'd got up at 0600 I'd have had to sit through hours of naff all happening, but at least I would have been able to watch the race without knowing the result.

Having said all that, wow! things are getting really interesting at the front of the championship. Roll on Brazil!

Well I did get up early, and excitedly watched the rain come down - don't see it much here:whistle:

Got to admire the planning though, race on a track only laid a fortnight ago in what appears to be typhoon season in the area. :shake:

Looks like it might be a good track in the future though.

The track itself looks to be one of Herman's better efforts, but it would have been a good idea to insist the track was completed at least 3 months before the race date.:yesnod:

The way the oil was still seeping out of the tarmac, mixed with the rain, I was expecting the pit straight to resemble a TF dipstick after HGF. :lol:

They should have spread all the concrete dust out of the pit lane round the track! Problem solved!

They go out of their way to make it more interesting and all you lot do is complain.

There's interesting and then there's thrown together at the last minute.:lol:

I'm looking forward to seeing if there are old ladies out laying the track the day before the Indian Grand Prix next year.

and a nice smearing of oil.
