Ok, i am used to watching races late at night, being an australian open wheel racing fan i rarely have a choice.

But the best part of the end of the racing season in Formula One is the races in Japan and China (soon singapore) because it gives the australian Open Wheel fan a chance to watch the races at a suitable hour.

now the ChineseGp is usually shown during the day, but it wasnt this time round. I can understand why Channel 10 didn't decide to run it during the afternoon (it had no chance of getting ratings against channel 7's bathurst broadcast... which was a nailbiter)... but the good thinkers at 10 decided to put the race on at 1am!!!!!! somehow South Africa vs Fiji in the rugby union world cup was more important than a sporting event where an australian actually COMPETES!!!

1am is the worst time as well! the problem with 1am is that its too early to go to sleep beforehand, but its too late to stay up for. I tried to get to sleep before the race, barely happened... so i was hell tired for the race, fell asleep after 15 mins and luckily woke up on the lap where lewis hamilton decided to pit. plus with 3 laps to go i couldnt take it any longer and had to go to bed thinking the result wouldnt change (luckily it didnt)

good to see you got youre priorities straght Channel 10... because im sure a world cup where Australia doesnt even compete in anymore (thank you england

) is more important than the Chinese GP!
