Hey Guys
Just an idea, would anybody be interested in starting live race threads to discuss all the action as it unfolds?
Do not really post much, but could be a good idea as there seems to be a few decent posters on here?
Race Threads.

Yeah, Daredevil, I did realise that right after I posted that comment. :P

Good idea.
I would be interested to know what sources of information, besides live TV, people rely on during the race.
I have the F1 2012 Live Timing App running on my iPad
http://www.formula1.com/mobile_services/live_timing.html
The live timing screen on my PC
http://www.formula1.com/live_timing/
and the McLaren pit wall commentary
http://www.mclaren.com/formula1?utm_source=McLarenDotCom&utm_medium=GroupWebsite&utm_campaign=Homepage_Button_F1
The above link is useful as it reveals more radio traffic than the TV. Last weekend Button radioed in to say that Vettel had opened his DRS in a yellow flag zone. Vettel later got a drive through.
After the race I wander off to the FIA media centre for more information

Yes, I have cross eyes.

Yeah we can always filter people if they become a pain
WTCBU
The usual is to just follow the live feed but for the race on Sunday I followed Hamilton coming through the field with the main commentary on and also had the live timing on my laptop. Worked well for me

Also I am more than happy to do the threads if everyone is alright with it.

Good luck!
I hope your able to control the stupid posts, from what I've seen there can sadly be a lot.

Guv_spur what a brilliant idea, a blow by blow account of Lewis taking the field to school, unfortunately this will not work as some of us seem to be watching re-runs of the 2009 season!
