Hi, i just installed the F1 app through the Application manager. Not sure which repository it was in.
The first time i launched the app, i was asked to enter the username and password for the formula1 live scores account. I did that and it closed. Does it work only when the live timing is on during a Grand Prix weekend?

i did not know there was an app for f1 on n900, i had it on my x6 which was great
You need to be connected to the net first.
It quits if you're offline.
Yes, i was connected. It just displays some copyright info in the x-terminal and closes after a few seconds. Maybe i should try when there is a live session going on.
@dogbed: Yes, there is a Live-F1 app. Just look for it in extras-devel or testing.
I also came across some posts where they installed some java ports onto the n900 and ran a symbian based F1 app on the N900.
Then i came across this last night. Great app though. I think it was initially done for OS2008.

It seems that f1.com is changing sth with the api. Now it shows some random characters s**t or just quits like you said.
From what I recall, live-f1 app shows the last results for some period of time (like a week) and shows a notice message of upcoming event after that.

Thanks nithin
although i try to avoid devel or testing because i nearly broke my n900 last time i visited there.
I've been using live-f1 on my n800 for a two years and it worked ok. BUT starting this year F1 changed their API and it doesn't work anymore. I now use their official app on my e71. But I think they have a mobile version of their site - m.formula1.com that should work ok.
The desktop version of the site doesn't work on my n800 because it requires java.
