BBC... F1 Advert - 15 days to go.
Discussion
Just seen the TV advert for this years F1 Programme..
Yellow and Black single seater cars driving through the streets of a city.
'The Worlds biggest Car Chase'
Unfortunately, the road surface is so bumpy for the cars, they are driven at what looks about 10mph.
Then the film is sped up to create the feel of speed.
Looks wrong..
Australia GP starts in 15 Days..!
New Coverage - No adverts
New Commentary
New film crew
Will the BBC bring a diferent perspective or Camera work..?
With all the new Regs and money taken out of the sport.. Will it be another procession or can we expect to see some nose to tail racing with different carswinning each week..?

t - I expected some kind of piss take response at the end, but it's just 2 non-F1 cars being driven slowly with the video then, obviously, sped up....
)[quote=raf_gti]I don't the BBC will have any control over the camera work, that is done by a central film crew I thought?

IIRC it's done by the "host broadcaster" (ie will be BBC for British GP) in each country since Bernie stopped the "Pay Per View" coverage from his own TV crews.
As I understand, this is always a bone of contenetion as the local director may favour different aspects of the race to the rest of the world...

For at least the last two years, almost all of the races have been filmed by FOM, except for, I think, the Brazilian and Monaco GPs.As I understand, this is always a bone of contenetion as the local director may favour different aspects of the race to the rest of the world...
The 'yellow and black cars' clip is just appalling - incredibly patronising to genuine fans and extremely misleading to those on the periphery.
The BBC F1 dedicated website is fairly poor too - at least ITV made a pretty good stab at it.
Unfortunately so far it reeks of a low-budget affair led by people who don't have much (any?) knowledge of the sport.
