ITV have agreed terms with FOM to broadcast a live feed of friday practice via their website. They've also got a whole new set of features as part of this deal. Check the article below:

Good news, seeing as we can't get footage of Free Practice here in the UK...and now everybody can, regardless of where they live because its online.

In case your interested guys, Setanta Sports broadcasts free practice of all the GP's here in Ireland(with the added bonus of some Gary Anderson insights). As far as I know its available in Europe and N.America, though it might be a bit pricey if you just get it for F1 :-k

I don care much about practise anyway. The only thing that will be interesting is what times these boys will do on long (10 lap) runs.

...and during quali eh P_O_L? I can't wait!

Its a shame it only works for UK connection - dunno how that works I'd assume seeing as its on a website that you can access anywhere in the world it's be equally avaliable.

I guess its a card up Bernie's sleve - seeing as potentially more customers may want to purchase practice broatcasting rights from FOM in the future.

Purple sector after purple sector so far for Ferrari.

My internet hates the video stream :(

Hamilton has gone fastest so far in the timing though, nearly half a second up on the Ferrari's. As I speak... Type though, Raikkonen has set another fastest first sector.

Edit: Yellow flag for a moment there, it seems to be Heidfeld who has gone off/had a failure... Stopped somewhere in sector 2 anyhow.

Edit #2: SESSION STOPPED?!

Edit #3: Nelsinho stopped in sector 3... Crashed perhaps?

Someone with the stream working tell me what has happened? I can assume Heidfeld had a minor off or failure since the yellows came out and then went back but since Piquet Jr stopped it's been red flagged.

Edit: We're back, both cars seem to have been recovered.

Edit #2: I'm getting too excited aren't I? I didn't notice on the commentary it said that the session was red flagged to clear Nelson Piquet's car which was stopped on the track, for whatever reason.
