Formula One's official timing apps have launched just ahead of the first race of the 2012 season, taking place this weekend in Australia.
The full-priced app, F1 2012 Timing App CP, written by Formula One partner Soft Pauer, offers live timing, tire data, race control messages, track positioning and more in real-time for the entire Grand Prix weekend, across Practice, Qualifying and the race itself.
The app is $28.99 in the US, £19.99 in the UK. It does not include any live audio or video race feeds.

The free "lite" version skips the live timing and other real-time features in favor of news feeds from Formula One.com, session results, a race calendar, and event countdowns and notifications when a session or race begins.
The lite version of the F1 2012 Timing App is free on the App Store for iPhone and iPad. [Direct Link]
The live timing-equipped F1 2012 Timing App CP is available for $28.99. [Direct Link]

Talk about a rip-off, but I guess F1 fans are used to paying too much for things.
Bernie's got to eat!
If you own last years app you can tweak a few config files and it'll load this years data into it and work ;)
Even outside the UK you can hop onto the official f1 site and view the same info for free.
Even if you could simply offer the races as a tv show on iTunes the next day or two, would be better than nothing.
Since F1 won't allow that, because I am a cable cord cutter, I will simply have to torrent the racing broadcasts again this year to watch F1.
(Indycar/CART use to have an on demand/previous races available to watch later service, but they dropped the service the last couple of years. Boo....)
