It’s the German Grand Prix this weekend – and Sebastian Vettel is likely to be desperate to get a home win and his championship battle back in action. He’s not the only German with eyes on the podium though, Michael Schumacher is said to be keen to show his appreciation to his Mercedes GP mechanics – which we think means a podium rather than greetings card, who knows.
It’s been a little while since we screened a grand prix LIVE in London, for the German GP, why not join us and enjoy the race on a massive (4metre) cinema screen, in HD with surround sound. You won’t miss any of the action with our secondary screen giving you all the live timing data and Twitter feeds. Along with a great atmosphere, some friendly debate and a few prizes up for grabs, it really is a great way to enjoy F1… go here for more details and tickets (or check out some photos from previous events)
No matter how you follow the GP this weekend, let’s hope it’s yet another great race and here’s all the F1 TV times, in one place – handy.

I do not like Sky sharing races with the BBC we pay a TV licence so I feel all races should be on the BBC

Unfortunately individuals can never have a say on how the BBC budget is spent. And F1 is simply too expensive for the BBC now. I’m happy that they provide highlights.

Well, I’m not, the agreement is ‘free to air’ and its a typical BE ruse to extract more money from the sport whilst screwing the fans.
