I did not watch last noght as I really, really dislike the commentary from ten, have hated it for years. When it was half an hour past the published time for the telecast to start and they were still just waffling on I went to bed.

Hi Paul,
Channel 10 also own the digital Channel ONE HD. If you have a digital TV, PVR or
set-top box, you might be able to receive it.
Last night Channel ONE broadcast the race live. However, the Channel 10 broadcast
was delayed by half an hour or so.
The Australian commentary team generally only speak during the pre-race
show, between commercial breaks to fill you in on what happened and then
after the race. Both Channel ONE/10 then cross to the BBC team which this
year is Martin Brundle and David Coulthard. Murray Walker was a wonderful
commentator but Brundle and Coulthard also bring with them a wealth of
experience. Both ex F1 drivers themselves, I find it nice when they
provide first hand accounts of what it actually feels like as a driver.
I also highly recommend signing up for the free account at the
http://www.formula1.com/ web site.
This then gives one access to the Live Timing application -
http://www.formula1.com/live_timing/
On a laptop next to you when watching the race on television, it enables
you to see the relative time gaps between cars, sector times, fastest lap time,
when someone has pitted and so on plus you can see if something has
happened whilst the commercial breaks are on.
