it's Australia this weekend and the race starts about 3:00am my time so it'll be about 9 or 10 your time

Interesting qualifying session..... Not sure I like the aggregate timing thing - it seems to excessively penalise those who have problems in their first session; Massa, Sato and (yes) Schumacher in this case.

The commentators mentioned that if the new tyre rules are broken, and a driver changes tyres for reasons other than puncture or safety, the penalty is a one minute stop-go.

Which is crazy.

Not only will it completely ruin the driver's race (as intended), but it'll make the engine overheat - so forcing the driver to need an engine change before the next race, which is another rule breakage and a 10-place grid position penalty. Crazy.

It would make more sense to either add a minute to the driver's time, or to make that driver start the next race a minute after everyone else, and from the pit lane.

That has to qualify as one of ITV's worst ever efforts. What idiot decides when to insert ad breaks?

The ads really pissed me off and I got a few txts from ppl that were pissed off with it as well...........but the race itself was really good! It looks like Schuey is back on track
