CH Ten NSW will very kindly allow us to watch an almost live broadcast of the race at 2;45am
Given that taping is a no go because I always inadvertantly hear the result before I get to watch it, that gives me the choice of staying up, and sipping, or getting up at 2am. Either way it is an ungodly hour to listen to those two idiots droning on. Is there an internet radio station that broadcasts the race??

FOM controls the broadcasts Julian. Even though BBC Five Live covers F1 races, they are not allowed to broadcast online.
You'd probably find a feed or two but I doubt they will be in English.
