I don't watch practices, only qualifying and the actual race.
The clocks go forward? Hmm, summertime clock turning?

I agree with Shail,I prefer watching races in the night or very early morning compared to races in the day.You have peace and quiet(apart from the TV obviously)and no noise from other people,I quickly wake up from my slumber through drinking either coke or coffee,and there's a feeling of satisfaction that you get watching the race live at silly o'clock along with other F1 maniacs.

I won't be around to watch the first two rounds of F1. I'll be in Egypt for my holiday and then in Abu Dhabi for the Red Bull Air Race (They want me there, not that I'm complaining :p)

I havent ever watched a race at night :blink: .
Although I'll probably watch the Australian one at 7am. But the race never starts til an hour after so i might just tune in at 7:45am. :)
Yeah, I'm just gonna do that. Sorted :thumbsup:
