Since Fox is broadcasting the race later in the day here in the US, I was hoping someone might be kind enough to point me in the right direction for live F1 coverage on the Internet. Nothing better than waking up to the sound of F1. Thanks!

I have a fantastic link to a website but I can't find it in my bookmarks for some reason?
I'll keep looking. I'm starting to get worried as well. I need to see that race live!

Thanks Andrew, works! The player even scales to the widescreen HDTV my media PC is hooked up to. Looks great! All it needs is larger audio bandwidth and it would be just like watching it on SPEED. I miss Varsha, Machett and Hobbs from SPEED, but good to see Blundell.

I like Machett and Hobbs, but Varsha just makes way too many really stupid mistakes. It's like his mouth just keeps moving and he can't stop it and the garbage just comes flying out that is completely wrong.

Glad this is over with FOX and back to SPEED.

Anyone know why some of the F1 races went to FOX? I mean, that audience is just NOT interested in F1.

I never watch it live anyways, and Fox has it in HD, so I wish all the races were on Fox. I'm dumping Speed anyways.

It's all for money Rob.

Fox isn't in HD for me at all. No pre-race, hardly any post race, no press conference, a billion commercials, dumbed down commentators....

THANK GOD its back on speed.

Weird, my Fox was HD with the same commentators as Speed as well as the press conference. I think you got gipped!

Well we still have the same commentators, but they have to talk down so that all the nascar fans can understand. Annoying, if im honest.

Unfortunately, the Fox broadcast of F1 is *not* in HD, but ED. It's widescreen, but not in HD resolutions. I wish it was full HD.

The Fox broadcasts of F1 are over now, fortunately.
