Just spotted this bug report (with fix) filed earlier today:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=573733

(nb: not tested it myself)

[update]: Just tried the version in the maemo repository - the password isn't shown on the screen when you type it in (presumably for security), but if you enter it and press return it's accepted and you can see the stats. I guess the debian bug fix mentioned above is already incorporated or formula1.com has just been updated so it's not necessary.
