Looking forward to the new F1 season, please dont shoot me down but I will be shouting for Alonso!! ;)
I probably won't even be going to sleep :)
I tend to shout *at* Alonso these days, but either way I suspect it'll be an interesting year :)
I hope so, but last year was so good its hard to see this year being better!

Well, it's already better by not starting with the ultra boring Bahrain race ;)
I'll be up early.......but because of a ten month old boy no doubt. ::) ;D
i'll have a similar alram clock in time for the end of season flyaways
;D ;D ;D Bloody kids. Why can't my missus keep him quiet?! ;)
indeed! weve a bit to go yet, been for 20 week scan today, very exciting
My daughter will probably just be getting in from one of the nightclubs ::)
I wont be getting up early because it will be starting in the middle of the day here in Oz, couldn't go this year so I may sit at home with a cold beer and enjoy the race. ;) ;)

I used to but these days have to admit that I have lost interest in F1, far more enjoyable watching Drag Racing.
I used to be into motor sport in a big way having spent five years taking part on the short circuit ovals, followed Nigel Mansel in every race he did but these days it seems more of a carnival than a race, its all overpaid primadona's not long out of nappies in cars that all perform much the same because of the very stringent rules on their construction. I dont think its so much a sport these days more of a business!! even so if I was working I would probably watch it even though its at silly oclock in the morning as I would be up getting ready for work

Certainly will be.
Saw my first GP at Silverstone in 1973.
The Woolmark Britsh GP, Jackie Stewart won.
Although I haven't been to a race in many years now I very rarely miss the TV coverage.
I'll be up Fri, Sat & Sun to watch the practice as well in BBC iplayer.
Come on Schumacher and Mercedes - Have I now said a bad thing ?

thanks for those times, youve saved me a job!
Both me & the wife are big F1 fans so quite likely we'll be up for the race. Rooting for Mark Webber this year.

Morning.
Friday 05:20 and 2nd session about to start.
I'll regret this later this morning at work
I'm... probably not. Unless I'm awake. Which isn't too likely what with Saturday being a late night. I must admit I stopped watching part way through last year. I got fed up of the commentators saying that people who were actually in front of certain drivers (not being lapped) should know their place and let them by. Yes, and Wigan should let Man U beat them, I suppose? Nobody would put up with that, so why...
OK............so it starts at 6AM on Sunday morning which puts it well into the 'invasion of sleep' area :(........
Add to this that the clocks go forward an hour during Saturday night and you then enter the 'NO **** Way' zone of sleep deprivation soooooooooooooo........
I`ll watch the lunchtime screening like most sane people ;)
Wont be getting up early like Jon watch the race at a civilised time Subday is the day i get a lie in after working Sat.
Wakey wakey everyone, race in 50 minutes :)
Crikey I have been awake since 6am this morning and its now 3.30pm so I can watch the race before tea, go Mark Webber.
