Sports cafe more likely to show Premier League football.

Never seen F1 shown when I was in Tokyo sports bar a few years ago.

FYI Apart from the Japanese GP, F1 races aren't shown live on national TV, their coverage usual starts somewhere around 23.30pm. There is a cable channel that broadcasts live, but I can't recall its name. Best to check which channel the sports cafe uses before hand.

If you've a Mac, you can watch the BBC coverage for free using FilmON.
