Where to watch testing?

[Alexandre Rideaux]

Does anyone know of a network broadcasting the testing, or do I just need to rely on timing sheets and articles from websites?

Sky covered it last year but not this year unfortunately. There's still plenty of websites which have live timing, and that's pretty good to be fair.

No one is fully showing testing however, if you are in UK then sky sports f1 do a round up at 9 pm and updates through out the day on Sky sports news. In any other countries then I have no idea

I'm in the US so no Sky Sports for me, oh well.

I think last year someone posted all of the Sky sports vids on youtube, so you should be able to find them on there hopefully.

If you don't have the f1 channel there's plenty of streams that show the channel live so you can watch the summary they will be showing.

i've got my box set to record anyway, i can always upload it if you want

I myself wouldn't mind watching but isn't that considered piracy?

Here's one youtube channel that shows Sky stuff: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb7r6-hkX094qv48iLGRGZw/videos and another https://www.youtube.com/user/FiftyNineBucks/videos

Each country has it's own laws, in Finland any channel that is originally free to watch (like BBC) is legal to watch even using unblockers to circumvent country restrictions.. Sky isn't free. You need to check your countrys laws first but i would say that is pretty good guideline everywhere. Watching Sky clips in Youtube.. not gonna comment on that, it's a legal minefield but i could bet few thousands that no ones gonna come knocking on your door, it's essentially YouTubes problem.

In short, no.

For testing, the closest you can get is with Sky F1, and unless you're in the UK then it's pretty useless.
There are several YouTube channels that will post what Sky F1 posts on their website.

Otherwise, you can do what I do and keep an eye on the AutoSport live text feed is as good as it gets.

To be honest it was **** anyway, 90% of the programme was boring interviews where you didn't learn anything new, got a few sound clips of the cars and thats about it, if you missed it, you missed nothing really.

i'll record tonights programme anyway, and if it's actually worth watching i''ll upload it straight away.

I found some video of Formula One testing on u tube. No commentary sadly but amateur video and the sound of the V6 Turbo. That I don't think is bad. Search "Formula One" and it should come up.
