it's on at 4:30 today on Speed

herr_oberst 06-12-2010 08:00 AM

Yeah, and be advised the race itself is on Fox, not Speed.

bell 06-12-2010 08:17 AM

Ok cool.....does anyone know if speed will rebroadcast the race itself? I know they did last year a week after it was broadcast on fox (or whoever had it)

jtfreels 06-12-2010 08:20 AM

they normally rebroadcast these Monday or Tuesday check the listings to be sure.

Right now this link http://www.justin.tv/speedladyhd is working showing SpeedTV coverage of Lemans. Not sure if it is on all the time, but check for the F1 Quals.

I've got the F1 lives timing/scoring app on my bb which has types commentary, but its just not the same as watching LOL

I'm just glad Matchett, Varsha, and Hobbs do the Fox broadcast now. They used to have some guys do it that knew nothing about F1.

BTW, Fox owns Speed, so this is why they can be on both networks.

bell 06-12-2010 01:13 PM

yes that year they had the other guys commentate was just horrible, i ended up muting it and turned on the computer for live timing/scoring......
the deal has to do with the networks......it's a monopoly when they get the broadcast as they sell it to the local stations which lets them sell local advertising.......
i wish speed would simply broadcast it via mobile LOL

Jackie Struart always did the color for the race, I wonder about this year?

bell 06-12-2010 01:55 PM

Just started on speed.....nascar ran late due to some crashes.....go figure LOL

legion 06-12-2010 02:06 PM

Nelson Piquet Jr. was in the truck race that ran long. It's a good place for him.

VaSteve 06-12-2010 02:25 PM

I thought speed was owned by nascar not fox.

***SPOILERS!***


























Good on you Lewis!

That's a world champion. He squeezed every ounce of performance out of the car to beat out the Red Bulls.

Thanks for the update. I was recording it, but as Bell mentioned, NASCRAP took to long, so it cut off before Q3. Grrrr....

So... Hambone, Vettel, Webber (1,2,3)?

Yep. Hamilton passed the S/F with something like 4 seconds left in Q3. He was the last to finish a hot lap and ever so barely beat out the Red Bulls, including an off-pace sector 2 (as compared to the Red Bulls, it was his personal best).

He squeezed every last ounce of performance out of the McLaren. I'm sure the Red Bulls would have beat him to pole had they pushed as hard. I'm not convinced that Webber is capable of doing that I think that Vettel can on occasion, but he seems just as likely to crash trying.

I still think the Red Bulls have a razor-thin performance advantage over the McLarens, I just think Hamilton did a better job in qualifying.

As for the race, the Red Bulls have the advantage if it stays dry. They are starting on the harder compound, Hamilton on the softs. The softs are not lasting long, so Hamilton will have to pit early.............But it's not supposed to stay dry. It's supposed to rain all day tomorrow in Montreal. That erases the Red Bull's tire advantage. It should be a good race.

The big question today is weather and looking out the window here in Montreal, it does not really look like rain anytime soon. Grey and overcast but not rain. Could be wrong but who knows...

This could be a very good race and sure hope so!

bell 06-13-2010 06:05 AM

I'm getting ready to head out for the day, I'm going to miss the race but will spoil it with my live timing/scoring on my bb......I will be getting *****ed at I'm sure LOL
I haven't found yet if speed will be rebroadcasting it this week......if someone knows please post it here.....man I miss my dvr......

I heard it's going to rain in montreal but not until hours after the scheduled finish.......but you never know with rain and canada......

schumacher will be the dark horse if they get the mercedes grip level up to what they had on friday.......he is back to his old self (haha get it? LOL), they just need to car to perform when it matters....

Hamilton will hold the lead from the start but once he pits I have a feeling it's webbers race, I predicted 2 years ago that he would come into his own and dominate, so far I've been right.....he's due.....it'd be great to see him win the championship, he has definately kept his cool so far.

Vettel I think has the capability but has had his confidence damaged which will catch him off guard when he's least expecting it.....

Vitaly petrov will also podium this year but will have help by others misfortune, not in canada though......and kubica certainly has the pace as well....

Alonso also is in the hunt, but the teams performance has been unpredictable imo.

I have a feeling that todays race will be excellent......and I'm going to miss it LOL
