I.m not finding it. Do you think it's because I'm on freeview, not sky? Or are they showing it on English TVs,but not Scottish?

not sure its on freeview its on freesat and the sky channel list

its very sad the loss of such a great driver watched it twice now

You should have red button function on Freeview. However, I seem to remember that I used to find some of the red button stuff on channels at the end of the list - keep clicking through them downwards from BBC1 and you'll find the hidden extras.

Yes Luci I do have the red button on Freeview, but as you say there are some things that you can do with Sattelite red button that don't work on Freeview red button. This, apparently' being one of them.

you can watch it via the bbc Iplayer

Jenson Button 1st

Thanks for that. Not watched it yet, but will soon.

Ooops! Ferarri's tactics lose again.
I don't think Kimmi's going to be too happy.

P16 on the grid

Hamilton qualifies 14th.

Poor Rubens, puts in a blistering qualifying lap and still gets beaten by two other cars!

I will have to find out who wins later as i've got the Man United match to watch . Hope it's Button.

We'll keep tabs on it for you Darlo and there's always the highlights.

Highlights: 1900-2000, BBC Three/Red Button/online

Well, that's knocked everyone's original strategies into a cocked hat!
Big smash on 1st lap. Debris everywhere. Safety car deployed.

Order:-

Barrichello
Button
Massa
Vettel

Hamilton now 4th
Raikonnen now 10th

Safety car came in after 5 laps.

Top 4 have had their 1st pit stops and are in the same relative positions.

Order:-

Barrichello
Button
Massa
Vettel
Heidfeld
Hamilton
Webber
Alonso

Raikonnen is out - failed hydrolics, I think.

Thank you so much for the post on the general BB board directing me here Fluff xxx

and for the sit reps ^^^

Hamilton's just pitted and comes out in 10th place.

All in a day's work.

Barrichello's pitted again and is now 4th.

Who's your money on for the top three then?

Button, Barrichello and Vettel.
I might have to revise that to Button Massa and Vettel as Barrichello's 3 stop strategy is looking like it's going to lose him a top 3 place.

oooh I'd like it to be Button, Barichello, Vettel.

Order:-

Button
Barrichello
Webber
Massa
Vettel
Heidfeld
Rosberg
Alonso
Hamilton
Glock

Top 3 to pit again, though not entirely sure about Webber.

oooooh I am grinning like a loon.. 'citing!

Order after final pit-stops:-

Button
Barrichello
Webber
Massa
Vettel
Rosberg
Heidfeld
Alonso
Heidfeld
Rosberg

Hamilton 9th

Massa seems to be slowing a bit!

oh that was funny.. the radio transmission to massa about his low fuel..

Massa "but what am I supposed to do, I am fighting for position!"

Sounds like Massa's in danger of having to pit again, that would be disasterous for him. He'd be better off letting Vettel past instead of fighting to hold onto 4th place.

Glock's eying up Hamilton for 9th place.

Vettel's managed to pass Massa, though I think Massa partly let him.

Hamilton in 9th has just been lapped by Button in 1st.

God this is a feel good season (for me anyway!)
