I'm a big fan of Family Guy and other American TV shows which are now available on a site called HULU.com. However I couldn't watch anything on there because the website knows that I'm located in the United Kingdom. I think that this is the same problem being faced by anyone wanting to watch F1 on the BBC Sport website who doesn't live in the UK.

It's called The Hotspot Shield...

http://hotspotshield.com/

It cloaks you when you're online, and protects you when you're using wireless hotspots in public place, but it has the extremely useful side effect of letting you access location-restricted conent.

I can now use HULU perfectly anytime I want to, and I think it could help you to watch a decent F1 feed...

Let me know if it works out...
Tried, failed, uninstalled, now tracking down spyware.....

I will update with full details after scan finishes....

DO NOT TRY WITHIN THE US!

Seriously?? I'm sorry if that's the case, but it's been working fine for me.

I didn't intend to cause any problems...

Or he will climb up to first only for the race to be stopped prematurely because an oil well will be discovered in the middle of the start/finish straight..

I heard from the BBC coverage that Toyota are going to be running a 3-stop strategy this race due to the tyre wear they're getting.

Also they think that Kubica is going to be 1-stopping.

So if these predictions are true, this is going to be very intersting to see how these different strategies pan-out.

KERS is showing it's value on Hamilton's McLaren as Vettel learned to his disadvantage. He is now loosing a lot of time. He could go faster but has no chance to pass a KERS car on track. I think his chance to win this race is already gone.

The start of the race was brilliant. For the first two laps, the cars at the back and mid-field were all over the track swapping paint fighting for positions. BRILLIANT!

Good news for me:

SpeedTV AND TSN are showing the race on TV.

I was in my PVR guide, which has daily updated information from TVGuide. It told me off air. 30 minutes before the race, the guide updates again, and the race is scheduled to be on TSN.

The listing for Speed is still off-air, but it is broadcasting, strangely, live, with no delay, so the timing is in line with their broadcast for a change.

Alonso takes Trulli also aided by KERS. Brilliant!!!

Vettel is in danger to be caught by Hamilton. He is stuck behind Trulli with the hard tyres and is again loosing 1 s per lap.

Trulli, Vettel and Hamilton are doing similar laps, Vettel closing on Trulli. Let's see how the OWG group has done in proper racing. It seems the easy following distance is 0.6/0.7s still.

Johnathon Legard won't stop talking about Ross Brawn :evil:

Kimi looks like he can score Ferrari there first points of this season. Hustling the Toyota of Glock.

Anyone watching BBC online watching the start of the race again?

I was watching Rubens chasing Alonso and suddenly it went back to the start of the race?

EDIT: okay i just realised i pressed the wrong button =S

Vettel is flying now. Go Sebastian, go!!!!!

He could have a much better position if he had not lost all this time behind Hamilton and Trulli.

Lets see how Seb will defend against Trulli with the better tyres.
