I´ll say it again: it´s ridiculous that a F1 GP gets the schedule moved to help Euro lazy guys to watch the race, at the cost of the event maybe not being completed. It´s absolute madness. Shocking decission.
Yeah it sucks, specially for people on the Americas, the race starts at 2:00 am here

I think you didn´t get my point. It´s not about the change bothering other people (sorry, BTW, as I´m European and this is done because of us ). It´s about making changes taking the schedule out of its sweetspot in the sporting aspect, for whatever reason. And when you take it so far from its ideal time that the event is under threat, especially in a place with such certain afternoon storms, it just becomes a ****ing joke. I know some don´t think so anymore, but this is still a competition, not a show, so make sure the guys compete and we´ll watch if we´re really interested, no need to make it easier for us.

It's not as if us Euro lazy guys voted for the change of schedule or something like that.
It's Bernie who's doing it for his own reasons.

I hate waking up at ridiculous times to watch a race, Australia should soooo become a night race imo
Maybe they should just find another time of the year for the Sepang race

the only downside is that i can't come to this or any motorsport site for SAturdays and sundays, and take part in live chats ....
but that's a small price to pay.

Many illegal places to get onboard races and 50fps 720p torrents. I pirated the timing app as well, but when i realized how fantastic it is I paid for it. Brilliant App.

I think with the McLaren being as it is - if that is right then - a bit loose, then Button should be a contender for the win.
Based on Rosberg's running in the wet in Melbourne, it's tempting too to say that the Mercedes looks handy, but he was probably alone in going for a rear wing angle tuned to take rain into account.
If dry I think Alonso will win again.

it doesn't bother me anyway, i never watch races live, cause i can't , got no TV. so i always DL the FPs, qualis and races. (Deus bless P2P and DSL ) i think it's good without commercial breaks, also u can rewind.
the only downside is that i can't come to this or any motorsport site for SAturdays and sundays, and take part in live chats ....

You can either sleep or watch the race, you choose. If you prefer to stay bed, it´s no wise risking screwing a sporting event so you could watch. And it´s not your fault, it´s the guy doing this ridiculous decission fault. The decission is smart for the bussiness side (he knows I´m going to watch regardless, and you´ll watch too wih the change) but a ****ing joke from the sporting side, and an insult to the fans. The worst part is that this particular event is especially likely to get shortened and they just don´t do anything after having had that already.

DRS zones, anyone?
2 zones
they should've moved DRS2 activation zone further back, maybe at the starting line. it's too early.

if bernie had the brains to broadcast the race in Youtube 2/3 hrs after the actual one with Ads, he'd earn heck of a more money than the TV deals IMO. when Formula 1.com charges you money for live timing apps (and a lot of it), u know these people are still stuck in the good ol TV days .
He'll lose a lot of money running the races free online with ads once the exclusivity deals with TV broadcasters are gone. There's a reason most online streaming services are subscription only, and even that doesn't bring in anywhere near the amount of revenue TV does. Despite what some may say, the internet is still tiny next to television.
