Watch anywhere Live F1 on your laptop

Did you ever get stuck at the airport, late night office, or just simply without access to TV? Imagine, all what you have is your laptop, Live timing with written comments on The Official F1 site, but no video, and you frown on Y-Tube feed. So, what now? Last year I found (I think British) WatchLive F1 feed. Would anyone have related recommendation helpful to a stranded trekker?
Thanks

Isn't it up to the national TV-station that has the TV rights to decide whether or not to put a stream online? I know RTL streamed the race in Germany, and unless I am not mistaken BBC did the same for the UK.
Here in Spain u can watch every session on the internet, race included, thanks to La Sexta.
The gud thing is that TVE (the national tv) started to do the same with the sports they broadcast.

so if you can fake a uk ip using a proxy or something you should be able to watch it, i'm sure a google search will yield some results

The worst thing about speed is you''ll see about the same amount of commercials as racing. The number of commercial breaks is atrocious, makes it hard to stay in the rhythm of a race.

justintv was good last year, you just had to keep looking sometimes, and occasionally settle for chinese commentary.
Wake the **** up Bernie, there's money to be made here if the local networks wont broadcast the lot of it. I'd pay you $50 a year to get a decent legal stream happening, even without commentary.

If you watch the Speed forums before a race, someone usually posts a link before the mods delete it, for the simple fact that Speed does not cover all the practice sessions.surely someone here is willing to setup and host a private stream? just send a single mass pm to all of us that dont have access to practice.;) Hell, i'll even kick in a few bucks for the privilege.

I hit reply to the wrong person, but there is your answer above my post. I do agree, I would cancel my cable since everything else I watch is over the antenna for free (or on Hulu/Netflix in HD of sorts), and pay for a nice HD feed of the races and sessions. If F1 is the pinnacle of motorsport, should we not get HD on paid TV, and also have the option of paying for a subscription to watch over the internet in HD.
