Yes but Alonso said that ferrari is ready to fight...
Imho he went the martini way just like Raikkonen, out of desperation.

myp2p.pe may have something, or try wizwig.tv!

To add to your question; where can I get coverage of the qualifying and/ or races all year for my smart phone? I don't mind paying if Sky or BBC or F1 or someone has a high quality feed.

My dear Italian friend G (bse50) told me of a share site but I don't even know if that's safe to use on my phone (Samsung Galaxy Note ).

Paul.

ps: I was so slow in responding that I now see Bse has responded. I'm still looking for an alternative though.

Sky is doing Melbourne and they have a version of BBC's iPlayer, except they even allow you to watch on your smartphone, besides iPad/PC/etc. But the only downside right now is that you need a UK proxy AND sign up to SKY sports to use it, and I don't know if that means you have to pay for that service. I am just itching to catch this somehow. I have SPEED at home, but staying up all night to catch it is discouraging...Plus, I hate that old fart on their commentary team. lol

If you block the cookies myp2p.pe's links are good to go. Just pay attention to the usual bunch of advertisements, like with any other streaming site. Btw paul you have mail

FP3... OMG.
Ferrari vs caterhamster sucks. Let's collect some money and buy Alonso a competitive car.
3 trained monkeys could do better than our team.

Oh ok, it's just massa that sucks. Thank god we have Nando.

By the way seeing that kobakaze (forgive the portmanteau) is faster in a ferrari-powered sauber than Nando in a ferrari-powered ferrari makes you think... same goes for Vergne in the Ferrari powered Toro Rosso.
@dezau: Nando was on mediums!

Meh. The first 3 were on softs, Schumi 4th on mediums.
Gotta love the old man trying to end a lap because his prostate is giving up.

Woke up at 6:30 on a saturday... they better do good stuff or i will hate ferrari even more.

Alonso is out, decided on a pic nic instead of ending qualifying.

Loved how he nearly smashed the marshall's face because they didn't help me get out of the grave.

Yeah, the problem is that Massa shows Ferrari's true potential... Alonso just keeps showing his ***** of steel. He could put chuck norris to shame.

It's amazing to see how the cars handle without blown diffusers. Finally some driver action to control oversteer. It's going to be a fun season, crashes wise.

LOL!
Alonso just stabbed Massa in front of the italian press when asked if he could be fighting for the pole with this car:
"I don't think so. I'm 1 second ahead of my teammate, they could be 2 but i don't think we could manage a pole position".
He's awesome.
