Just watched Q1 on Star Sport, BBC Commentary team not Steve Slater, and all of Q1 without an advert, new main TV sponsor in Rolex, maybe they understand advertising better than Petronas and Maxis did last few years and know not to break into the racing, only tomorrow will tell that. Is the Caterham really that green or is it the TV in my hotel room?

I will be there, got tickets in the main stand. Here's my tip for getting there. Get a taxi from KL to the LCC cariers terminal, when they get near to Sepang, they are allowd down the outside lane of the other carriag way, they then stop at the Petronas fuel station opposit Sepang and you walk in no traffic jam. Book the same guy to pick you up on the return meeitng you in the Petronas forecourt.

Although it was good to hear Brundle again on TV, I thought the coverage on race day was pretty shocking actually, losing the sound on numerous occasions was not good. Plus I think they should get rid of the girl who is the "anchor" back at base, shes just too.......girlie, she needs to grow a dick and become a bloke. Get Alex Young (spelling) on the case he would make a decent "anchor man". Thankfully Starsports have seen the light and got rid of the idiot know as Steve Slater, he was abismal.

Yes the on the day coverage was not as good as the quali, there was an advert every 10 laps, but last year it was an advert every 5 to 6 laps.
I think Paula Malia Ali is great, hope they don't get rid of her. But I like the indain guy, Chandr?, he is just so politically incorret and says what he thinks about teams, drivers and cars.

Are you kidding? Alex Yoong is useless and constantly says things that are wrong. Paula looks good and doesn't know much about F1 but I guess that isn't what they are paying her for. They need to get "the Indian guy" (Karun Chandhok who drove for team lotus in 2009/10) as the anchor, or preferably as the commentator! I'd prefer to see him return to a drive at Caterham however...

I think we all agree, Paula looks ok and Chandra for the talk, but those of us who where here last year are just glad to see the back of Steve Slater
