Wow - who's used it.
I've just been running through the video section.
Some really slick editing in there, every single race so far looks awesome.
Just wish I could download the edits and have them here for any time, anyone who says F1 is boring would soon change their tune.

There's more than 1 way of getting hold of the video (even a well setup HD camcorder to a TFT screen can do a superb job). If it can be 'broadcast' to your PC then it can be copied. ... Er, a bit like if the footage is 'broadcast' to your TV it can be copied... except er, Bernie doesn't like the fans to be able to watch the full races at their leisure.

I like the website for the technical updates section and the complete F1 results database, occasional exclusive interviews too. Yet it should be so much more than it is, given the rights they hold.

Yes, their race edits are probably the best I've seen. Great way to review the season.

I sometimes think that, but then it is a relative haven of factual reporting rather than endless discussion/reports of chinese whispers? So in consideration I think its good to have sites you can go to without any BS IYSWIM, less is sometimes more wink.

I'm confused about this having to register again for the 2010 season email though, just for the live timings. Smells a bit like PH/Haymarket with F1/Vodafone at first glance?

The race edits used to be a LOT better, 2007 and 2008 were superb. The new ones use far to much radio conversations which spoil the flow amongst othert things. Got a dvd with the old ones on I made somewhere back when it was easy to download them.

Active content recorder will do the trick. Plenty available.
