[marcia1]

have a live feed via internet so we can watch the practice sessions?



Sorry if this topic has already been covered.

Have a look here

From reading that it would appear that only the Friday practice is going to be on the Internet.

There will be live coverage of every on-track session online, as well as all the television broadcasts.


Cut from the link to the BBC site posted above.

Well we are at the end of February and I have seen no advertising on the BBC for F1 at all. Great Work.

They did a sports trailer in the new year and Formula One coverage was the first in the list. It was very brief, but it was definitely there.

From another forum:
The BBC are going to announce the full details of their F1 coverage on 24th Feb.

"The BBC's red button service will offer alternative video streams, such as on-board cameras and F1 data."

Now that is exciting! Hopefully it means you can choose to view different onboards during the race. Maybe thats wishful thinking though.

strange that with only a month to go, the ITV website is still carrying a lot more F1 than the BBC...

Have they confirmed whether it will be broadcast in HD yet?

[motormania]

Interesting comments, I was thinking the very same. Not a sound online or on the box. I would be shouting from the roof tops about it, but maybe they will be going full song after the 24th Feb launch...

With regards to the web site, trust me, building new sites do take their time, and I hope that they are going to announce a new f1 site also on the 24th.

As to HD, all the rumours so far as saying NO.

However, if they say yes then I shall be ordering my Sky HD, was going to go Freesat but Sky have finally admitted to the fault with their HD boxes which is why they are recalling some 90,000 of them to replace with the new boxes. At £50 for the box and only £10 a month, it'll be worth it, but only if the beeb agree to show f1 in HD

Not going HD is a tad poor, there are companies with far, far less resources that any of the host broadcasters who are going to be full HD this year!

[Lost my mojo]

Does anyone know if they will be covering the GP2 races too?

[skeggysteve]

Apparently Bernie wants extra money from the BBC for the HD feed.

They haven't said if they are covering GP2.

AFAIK there are no "host broadcasters" any longer in F1; it is Bernie's own TV company. HD is extra, Sir...

It might not be HD but least it will better PQ than ITV
