I will be following F1 as much as possible, though not live. Because of the time differences between here and where the races take place, it comes on TV at really weird hours. Glad I have a TiVo I tape it all from qualifying to the race (don't usually watch the practices)

Don't even get me started on the WRC, stupid Speed Channel bastards!

I do have the opportunity to see it live, its covered by RTL which is free BTW.

They use to have commercial breaks in between even when life, so many comments on that that they got rid of that luckily!

I am not 100% sure but not all cable providers host Speed channel which carries F1 in the US. The Satellite providers offer it with their basic package.

I used to be a nut who watched F1 live every time but this was painful for the European races. Now I watch it on TiVo (DVR) at a more reasonable 8 am
