It is 22:34, 3hrs26 to broadcast.
I am browsing the net before watching some kind of 'race'. I wish to see a podium consisting of Montoya, Button, Webber. |

It is... 22:35, TV program starts at 02:00, race start presumably 03:00
I am... Browsing ten-tenths, drinking numerous cups of tea and listening to "The Best Heavy Metal Album In The World... Ever!" I'm pretty tired too after not getting to bed last night until 5am having watched quali I wish... to see BAR have a good race, especially for Button, and i also want to see what webber does with the Jag |

I want to see...
Different stragegies that will make me keep guessing as to who will win (if rain helps, so be it) At least 5 overtaking moves in the top 6 And two changes of lead ON the track (the most unlikely) And the driver who deserves it to win, so far this weekend, that'll probably be Barrichello. |

It is 22:47 - 2hrs 13 mins to broadcast, looking forward to Schumi kicking a$$. But, I do hope they all get off to a clean start with LC finished, without any first corner pile ups.
Oh and copious amounts of tea as it looks like I'm doing a one stopper today [staying up]. |

Neglected to say - 22:37 (4 hrs 23 to race)...
Watching 'World is Not Enough' on TV. Plan to watch some more films to occupy the time. I *expect* to see a Ferrari whitewash. I'd also expect though to see a good fight for the 4th-8th places though. |

No rain predicted, but is overcast and will stay that way.
This is Melbourne though, and our weather is as predictable as lotto |

Like the predictably unpredictable British weather as one Jonathan Ross once said.
