I was just wondering if there are any Free to air sports channels on Nilesat / Hotbird that broadcast the F1 races... I used to have ESPN but not anymore.. So if anyone has an idea could you let me know ...

Thats what I think I dont care if he blow his engine, but just because he ruined sutil hopes... He start from 16 or 18 and he went up to 4th place.

Also alonso which is my favourite until yesterday LOL make big mistakes after passing from 7th to 6th and spin putting himself in the 16th place...

Plus I was watching the race on internet (Reading comments) make me more angry...

The Venezuelan Sensation!!!

In a bad mood today. Hamilton won and Raikonen totally screwed up. Not only did he have a bad race, but also ruined it for Sutil......

He is a punk, HE SHOULD DRIVE A KARWA.

dnt worry,ice man would win this year even though i want massa to win...

Hamilton like last year would press the wrong button in Silverstone,stalle in hungoring,finish 10th in circuit gilles and run out of fuel in magny course and will never win in Monza..thats for Ferrari only :)

so thats enough for the red guys to win :)

I forgot to add. Kimi is actually one of my favorite drivers. I was desolate when he failed to win the championship in previous attempts. He is blinding fast, probably the fastest guy out there for now. The problem is that he has his good circuits and bad circuits.

accepted..but we cannot compare the current lot with senna..he was a master in track..

It's not about winning in Monaco. Everyone knows it's a lottery. Remember Coulthard behind a Toyota for twenty odd laps? It is just that Monaco is one of the circuits that needs skill, bravery, and LUCK to excel. That's the reason why Senna won it six times. Once he was continually pushing and was faster that everyone else by over 2 seconds! He stopped and came back trembling. The circuit drives fear even in the likes of Senna. Kimi was never comfortable at Monaco. His win in 2005 was a very eventful race. Alonso, who was hounding him, was hampered with bald tires and couldn't hold. Renault messed up with his strategy.

Kimi should have been world champion at least twice by now. His careless attitude of spraying points away did it to him. He is a brilliant driver, no doubt, but he needs to work on his failings like Bahrain.

2008 Lewis Hamilton

2007 Fernando Alonso

2006 Fernando Alonso

2005 Kimi Raikkonen

2004 Jarno Trulli

2003 Juan Pablo Montoya

2002 David Coulthard

2001 Michael Schumacher

2000 David Coulthard

1999 Michael Schumacher

1998 Mika Hakkinen

OK now tell me how on earth do you see coulthard a real man on thoses streets,for me he is the biggest joker for his carelesss driving,he has so much years and drives in his hands and still finds him self back of a another car..i think the monacco gives the chance for the lucky ones like yesterday..lewis got lucky b'cos of the SC and Yellow flag..And Sutil running 4th :) its the circuit..Not the Car or the Driver

FYI info Kimi has allready won in 2005

Monaco not just provides surprises, it also sorts out the jokers from real men. Raikkonen will always be considered a little lesser than many others for his failings in Monaco.

true and the new rule that you cannot pit while yellow flag is stupid...i hope nobody gets into the barriers...

The problem is that any accident will bring out the safety car and screw up the whole race.

from www.f1live.com

The specialist on-site weather service, Meteo France, is telling its client Formula One teams of a 70 percent chance of rain for Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix.

There is also likely to be rain before the start of the race, raising the probability of a wet track for the treacherous run to the first corner at 2pm local time.

rain is good in f1

For guys like me working all day!!! :(

Massa probably will win as Monaco is a impossible race, but I dont give up with Alonso.

I know bakamuna. Passing someone is impossible in Monaco unless you are a born-again Senna. I am betting big time on Massa screwing it up.

Al Jazeera sports (free to air), but its in Arabic. Al- Jazeera sports also has an English commentary for the package.

Supersports from South Africa and also a German free to air channel, but again the commentary is in German.

I'd put my money on Raikkonen or Hamilton. I'd be happy if Massa could spare a few of those Armco fenders today.
