[Fot] Formula One on Television ?

[David Riddle]

Depending on where you live the schedule is good for us.  Here in AZ practice
was at 8pm last night. Qualifying is at 8pm tonight and the race is at 8pm on
Saturday.

Practice last night was very entertaining.  Without TC the cars
were all over the track on coner exit.  Loved Hamiltons full on four wheel
power slide.  Also without the aid of the engine blimping the throttle when
heavy braking the drivers were having to throw in tons of opposite lock to
"try" and keep the rear end at the rear.  Many times they failed.

The race
should be very interesting to see who can master the cars to take advantage of
late braking for passing in the corner.

Next year should be very
entertaining too when they lose lots of the areo downforce with the ban on the
little winglets and flip-ups they have now.

I think third period qualifying
will be more entertaining too since it will only be ten minutes long (out lap,
2-3 flying laps and the in-lap) with no ability to add ANY fuel to the car
between the start of the thrid period and the start of the race.  No fuel burn
down period.  Carry the fuel you want to qual AND run your first race stint
with.

The
information on speedtv.com schedule indicates Friday night coverage of
Australian qualifying but the schedule has nothing about coverage on Saturday
night's for the race......with three children with Saturday ball games, I was
thinking about skipping qualifying......but maybe should reconsider if there
is 
no race coverage. If someone knows what happening, please advise....
Quick update on my racing ....83 team ball games and practices scheduled
from March 1 through May 31...assist coach on the Tasmanian Tigers and LJ
Lasers.....

However, there are occassional vrooms from the garage....
