i got this msg.

Not Authorized

I see a message saying "Forbidden" when I try to watch the live stream. Why is this?

u didnt mention Mclaren in the poll
i'm really curious to see Hamilton do something this yr and also Kimi,Button

Don't worry, main hoon na. I really hope McLaren Mecedes and Force India rock this season.

McLaren Mecedes, FTW!

Button? Button is racing with a bullock cart. Honda has now become a regular back marker.

I think this year it will be

1-2) Ferrari vs McLaren
3-4) BMW vs Renault
5-7) Williams vs Red Bull vs Toyota
8-9)Toro Rosso vs Force India
10-11) Super Aguri vs Honda

I hope Heikki do to Lewis what Lewis did to Alonso.

@s18000rpm
yesthat a good web proxy site .

[rollcage]

155.136.224.10 : 80 anonymous Great Britain (UK)

thx ya .. the link is working
but I stil cant watch it .. why bcoz I have pretty slow connection 128kbps DSl ..
man is there any lowband live link

 

[drgrudge]

Thanks for the update. The second practice should start in 30 mins.

Dunno if it'll work as I have a slow speed connection - 256k.

 

[desiibond]

live streaming not working.

btw, p2 has started

 

[mehulved]

Do try, seems quite decent even on 256k connection. But, I have downloads running in the background that I don't want to stop.

 

[drgrudge]

Streaming is working but it's buffering a lot. Seems that we need atleast 512k for a proper view. But something is better than nothing.

Hamilton sets the fastest time!

 

[ratedrsuperstar]

Kimi Raikkonen and Ferrari set the initial pace as practice for the Australian Grand Prix opened today in Melbourne’s Albert Park, in 39 degrees Celsius ambient temperature and a healthy wind.

The first 45 minutes saw the Ferraris battling each other for fastest time, with Felipe Massa gaining that with 1m 27.524s ahead of Kimi Raikkonen 1m 27.709s....

hammy 2nd,massa 3rd,heikki 4th.webber 5th.

webber sets another blazing lap.that means another blazing retirement during the race


w00t w00t.

Yeah, but the streaming size is small. The quality is good, we need to have a faster connection or a better proxy. The site didn't work in Safari, had to use Firefox.

Good P2 session. Hamilton sets the fastest time and almost by a second faster than the next fastest.

Red Bull and Force India (Fisechella sets 9th fastest time) put a surprisingly good show.

Without the tracsion control, we saw a lot of drivers running wide, getting in the grass & gravel trap and skidding in the corners, etc.. but there's still one more practice and qualifying so things should be fine on the Race day.


Go McLaren Mercedes, Go Hamilton!

 

[mehulved]

That's weird. I only get top half of the picture, both in opera and firefox.
