713051 2008-10-18 04:22:00 With two races left in yet another exciting year's Formula One calendar, SkyTV NZ has decided to delay tonight's live coverage of Qualifying for the Chinese GP until midnight.

All the crowing about live this and live that turns out, as has previously happened with Sky, to be nothing short of B*ll Sh** :( :(

Come back TV One, or TV3 - stick in in Sky's eye......................

Same as they did with the 2020 cricket world cup they advertised all games as live but didn't show a few of them due to clashes with Rugby.

Thank goodness for those naughty folks overseas who screen the qualifying and races live on the Internet - illegally of course :)

I'm sure that Sky has a let out clause that covers this eventuality :(

713059 2008-10-18 08:23:00 Its only qualifying not the race, stop getting your tits in a tangle. Hamilton has pole Mass 2nd Kimi 3rd.

713060 2008-10-18 08:37:00 I know who won the pole position. That was/is not the point.

Obviously it is all above your head :(
