HD Onboards looked nice, bit pixelated at times. Im wondering if they are 720p upscaled due to bandwidth or perhaps just very tighlty compacted in the spectrum.

From what I can remember, there were hardly any onboards in FP1 today and the few that I saw seemed to be cutting out a lot? Maybe they reduced it to 720p for FP2? idk.

Non-exclusive Sky races will be shown on there, apparently.
It will be on NOW tv too, assume as part of the Entertainment pass. |

I can't help but think that it would be a much more effective marketing strategy to screen the bigger exclusive races on Sky Sports Mix, especially for the likes of USA and Mexico.
I can't see why they will not do a few. |

5 Minutes from the new data channel from mid-way through FP2:
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3ynf3c The panel on the right scrolls through a few different displays including a traditional style timing display with sector times. When its displaying the sector times I think this page is better than the timing screen we currently get. |

Just watching the F1 Show now - it's not just the time limit cut - it's simply not the 'F1 Show' anymore. From a light fun magazine and a little bit off free practice reaction show it is now basically post-practice coverage extended really. A massive cut-down job with just talking in the paddock for an extra half-hour. Same VTs shown from FP1/2 and a bit of chat. Waste of time on most part.

Engine name is still part of the graphics on the OnBoard-Mix:
http://i.imgur.com/ZXcGMnN.jpg http://i.imgur.com/eCwMnJn.jpg http://i.imgur.com/jDeNiZi.jpg BTW now that Sky don't have the borders on there extra red button feeds they have added a driver name graphic in the bottom/right corner on the extra OnBoard feeds: http://i.imgur.com/NDtuTFh.jpg Also they seem to have removed the ability to switch between SSF1 audio & raw audio on the pits channel which is a bit irritating as I used to have the commentary on unless there was radio playing. You can still switch audio tracks on the OnBoard feeds though. |

Everyone is getting half the races free anyway so if they then put a few more on SS Mix many more people would say that's enough F1 and not bother subscribing to Sky Sports. |

Probably because Rolex will get upset by Red Bull's engine supplier.

Just seen C4's 5 minute launch. Think Jenson would have been happy to throw last years Mclaren out of a cargo plane! Verdict still out on this years. Didn't do much for me though. CGI cars are a bit 'Meh'.
BTW, is Alex Brundle doing the VO on the Sure ads on Sky F1 ? |

I wasn't expecting much from five minutes, maybe a quick preview of the show format, introduction to the presenting team, or at least something constructive, but that was compete and utter garbage.

I guess intros like that are not for the likes of us, so hopefully it encourages a few new viewers over the weekend.
Quite intrigued as to what Channel 4's coverage will be like anyway. |

Question about the graphics; on the 'current tyre' there is a hollowed out circle and a fully coloured in circle. What's the difference between them? New and used sets?
