05:10 Club - who's watching live?

[TheDeuce]

My alarm, reluctantly, is set for the race tomorrow. Anyone else planning to watch live?

[Killer2005]

I will be, assuming I don't fall back asleep on the sofa.

[Teppic]

Yup, I will be, although it will be a Sky Go job on my iPad.

Go to sleep it will be there in the morning, and you know who is going to win, enjoy the sleep, it's more important!!!

[freddytin]

Oh yes, and now I have to source suitable Ozzy snacks

Nah, this is the genius of GP on Sundays, whenever it's on, you have sod all to do afterwards and can go back to sleep. Even if you have already had a couple of beers during the race...

Actually considering watching the pre show!

iPad charged for live timing and team radio, will watch most of the race on race control, hoping for the much mooted pitlane cam channel when they all box...

That might happen. If I set an alarm for 5am I can almost guarantee I'll wake up an hour earlier..

I have dual monitors in my 'den', one for the show, one for timing

Nah, I'll bbq a dozen Witchetty Grubs on the barbie....marinated in Vegemite of course.

[TheDeuce]

This is quite a response given it's already 11pm and we're talking about being awake in 6 hours

[wibble cb]

Will be 1.10am for me, I will be there

So will Smokey.....

That's not an early start, just a late night

[tomble22]

My 5 month old daughter has taken to waking around 4:30am and then going back to sleep....the ideal alarm clock!! Looking forward to (hopefully) a good race, even if that is from 4th back!

[thegreenhell]

I'll be setting my alarm to wake up early (for a Sunday) for the 8am repeat.

That doesn't count. This is the 5:10 am club

Most of us will be asleep again come 8am! How decadent.

Not for me this year, F1 breakfast party at mine for everyone at 8:30am so it'll be time delayed until then. Bet I wake up though...

Shame to be missing the online chat but it'll be good fun for adults and kids at ours for the first race party of the season, enjoy chaps

I love that you get the kids involved and make an event of it! I just don't know how you avoid the temptation to check the results when you wake up!?

Or... do you?

No! Total media blackout and have sent out text reminders to everyone to not have a radio on in the car for the journey over to ours so they don't spoil it!

To be honest, the kids will more likely watch the first few laps (they're all pretty young) then resort to playing in another room while the Dads watch the whole race. We have promised a Disney film on the cinema afterwards for them however!
