The winner is Formula 1
I am definately not one of the "Ferrari is making F1 boring" naysayers, but the new strength of Renault and Red Bull is fantastic!
How about Coulthard's move into the first corner!! Last year he suffered from being too cautious - it seems that taking the position of elder F1 statesman at Red Bull has given him a new perspective. In yesterdays race he showed the best combination of his good traits with none of his bad ones.
Bring on Malaysia!!

Too right
on both counts... One solution I came up with for the stats that would be easy for Bernie to implement would be a button that said "Start Now" on the stats applet. Then it would start downloading the stats based on you clicking the button right when the race started. Even when the race is "live" it's still off by a few minutes usually, so for viewers in any country this would be a good feature. In the absence of f1 becoming customer focussed, it should be possible to write a proxy that applied a delay to the data stream for the stats applet - could be a fun little project :)

You're (note apostrophe) probably referring to Michael Schumacher
That title will probably be irrelevant by the time Auffers gets around to deleting the spurious comment that is currently just above this one.
The worst thing about an 11pm coverage like we're going to get this weekend for Malaysia is the fact that we don't get the timing information from www.formula1.com that we used for the Melbourne race. Each of the three adult viewers at our house had computers and we probably spent more than half of the race watching the data rather than the telly. That makes F1 interesting. I do love F1 but it tends to be fairly boring racing.
