Are you for real? Ecclestone has taken F1 to a country in turmoil and it's quite clearly newsworthy. The fact that there is so much controversy around this race has led to protests specifically about the F1. Teams have been caught up in it and of course we're bloody talking about it.

Massa doing well again I see 
Rob Smedley deserves a good driver to work with.
A death in Bahrain would not get a mention in an F1 thread , but from I have read and seen the demo's are a result of the F1 race , Ecclestone is a prat and should not of let the race be held , I am not great expert about what is going on but it looks to me like the situation is no change from last year when the race was cancelled.
Where did that lap from alonso come from? Really surprised
Raikkonen out, similar mistake to Schuey earlier?
Massa really is a joke , has he made Q3 so far this season
I'm really not into the Sky presenters
If you took the BBC presenting team and combined it with the sky commentary team it would be pretty much perfect.
I quite liked the Brundle/DC commentary combination to be honest.
Kimi confirms they tried to save tyres and it didn't work out for them. Could work out ok tomorrow though.

So basically what you are saying is we need to tell sky to feck off and just go back to the BBC coverage from last year?
Pretty much, yes 
cracking lap by Lewis
risking pole on one flying lap
Rosberg down on time so far

Vettel with a storming lap!!!

Vettel with a cracking lap , looks like they have found there speed.
Good race coming up dont see the Mercs doing anything going to be a fight between McLaren and Red Bull

Hmm.. They all went faster in Q2 - Alonso would have got pole with that lap in Q2. Track changed that much?
Quali isn't that important I don't feel, its gonna be a race all about tyre preservation.
Yep, looks like it'll go that way. Could be a lot of stops tomorrow.
The overhead TV shots with all those colours on the ground and the plainness of the desert had mewondering if I was watching a comuter game for a moment.
I have real fear the something horrible is going to happen tommorow , I really hope I am wrong.

New computer games look better to be fair!
Yep. The most important thing tomorrow is that the day ends without anything kicking off.
Just realised the race starts 30 mins into the match
Another one for the 'why I hate Bernie Ecclestone' list.

Coverage kicks of at half 11 on sky's ports f1, but does this not have any Bbc coverage? It doesn't according to my tv guide (which I am hoping is wrong)
Not live, no. They have a highlights show at 5pm.
Football and TV and F1 on laptop , wife is not happy but hey what can you do
Some rain falling in the desert?
Stream anyone??
why the hell are Red Bull hiding part of there car
track temp is 10c cooler than yesterday , that could help Mercedes.
that was my reaction, it was only brief though so no chance of a shocking wet race
Button with a shit start, Vettel already opening the gap. The race is on......for second place.
Lewis now 3rd, redbull is doing well
WTF Grosjean in second and just overtook Lewis with ease
