Do I bother paying for a 24hr NowTV pass for this? Hard to overtake, pending any major dramas, the race will be settled on Saturday won't it?
Imagine the last few laps if Merc get Hamilton ahead of Max. The faster RB all over Hamilton for lap after lap. It could be like Senna holding off Mansell at Monaco. Gary29 said:

You might want to check if the race is available for free beforehand. I paid for the first race only to find out that it was broadcast free on NowTV. Great way to p

Schumacher and Alonso here in 2005, although hopefully without an ad break in the last five laps like we had in the bad old days of ITV F1.FRIDAY & SATURDAY SESSION TIMES CHANGED

The OP might care to amend the first post. Qualifying is now an hour earlier at 1pm BST & the FP times are moved as well.

Why can’t they just change the time of the funeral?
3pm on Saturday does seem rather an unnusual time for a funeral, but there will be dozens of moving parts in deciding when it is to be scheduled. Chaos for sports fixtures though, with about three dozen professional football matches now kicking off either at lunchtime or in the evening, rugby matches also being rescheduled, and cricket matches taking extended lunch breaks.
My suggestion was, of course, whimsical - but I can't help but be surprised that a sporting event in another country should be re-scheduled because of the funeral. Perhaps it reflects the degree of British involvement (?influence) in F1, but I am more inclined to think that what has driven this is pressure from the advertisers fearing that viewing figures will be lower with people switching over to the events in Windsor, rather than any mark of respect to the late Duke.

I would say that at least 70% of the paddock is made of British staff so understandably out of respect for them, they reschedule the programmes for those people to give their farewell to someone which represent Great Britain all over the world.I am not British but totally understand the idea.

Was Prince Philip an F1 fan? I heard he was a petrolhead but never heard anything linking him towards F1?
I for one won't be mourning the old b*stard.
