    I suggest we all buy a bottle of tequila and play a drinking game:

    1 shot for every overtaking move
    2 shots when your commentator says something stupid (those watching UK feed, whenever EJ is in shot wearing something silly)
    3 shots when loldonado does his thing
    4 shots when hamilton barges Rosberg of track
    5 shots when Alonso complains about his car/engine
    Finish bottle if Verstappen reaches podium.

    :D

    I think it's dangerous to drink when the English commentators say something dumb, even if we only start when the lights go out, I reckon that's a bottle each every forty minutes!

    You should watch German television and you will not even make it to the start...Whatever the moderator says you can be sure Lauda will know better...Whenever one of them opens his mouth you will have another shot but at least you get enough vitamin C from all the lemons.

    Given that I will be watching Steve Matchet, my bottle will be empty before I reach #3!

    Hmmmm.....

    I may very well be mistaken, but if they're covering it live that's not right......

    Here's my local (Pacific time) schedule;

    And the link to Bernie's site with the complete schedule - easily translated into "your" local time as needed.

    Formula 1® [Scroll down and it's all there.]

    Incidentally, Sky are now offering "day" & "week" passes for UKP 7 & 11 respectively;

    Watch live Sports online & stream football, tennis, rugby and more | NOW TV

    As most know, I have a "workround", but if you're serious about it their coverage is really good; UKP11 for the whole week isn't a bad deal IMO. And you can watch cricket for the rest of the week! :eek: ;)

    Cheers,
    Ian

    Sorry but growing up in "The Hub of the Universe" one tends to assume.
