BBC F1
 

Did anyone see the Ad for the BBC F1?

Not that good for an Ad BUT!!!...........THE MUSIC IS BACK!!:thumbsup:


By the looks of it, they are bringing the fleetwood mac's 'The chain' GP theme back!

EXCELLENT!!!

Can't wait for the 29th now.
Plus they're showing all of the practice sessions on the bbc interactive channel!!
Cool.

Now that its back on the beeb will the races be broadcast in HD?

No :mad:

That supprises me...

The first excuse i heard was the in car cameras arn't HD so they wanted to keep the same quality throughout the entire show, but ive seen HD footage in car before so whether that is all bs i don't know.

I think after winning the contract back from ITV, they probably dont have the budget for the amount of HD cameras needed for a GP :thumbsup:

i am so glad its back on the bbc because i hate the adverts that were on when itv had it

Who's got a bet on Button/Brawn? :confused: :)

G

Well....

Its looking good for them so far.
Only just got the car running and they're up there on the testing sheets.

Could be worth a quid or two on producing a win at some point.:thumbsup:

I heard it was being filmed in HD. :confused::thumbdown:

apparently it was being filmed in HD since 2007!

I may stand corrected. But I don't think ITV nor BBC supply the cameras, nor directors. FIA supply the feed.

What I would like to see is all camera feeds go to each broadcasting company, they then have their own trackside director. That way each country can be as biased/ unbiased as they want to be on their driver coverage.

I may be alone, but I felt it was biased as on a few occassions in 2008. Hamilton would be in a tussle for position, or driving with class and they would focus on say..... a Ferrari, or a.........Ferrari. But then maybe I am biased in my viewpoint? Either way it's hard for the commentators as they don't really know what's up on screen next.

Of corse that would be very cheap. :lol:

I don't think the directors do too bad a job tbh, there are occasions where they look at someone completely irrelevant to the race, but normally it's fairly good coverage.

less they show of lewis the better

unless its him messing up lol

Saw the ad t'other night and thought :thumbdown: especially the naff cars that presumably some trendy-Wendy at the Beeb thinks will fool us are real F1 cars. I hope the actual programme is better. HOWEVER, right at the end they gave us a teaser of The Chain and I forgave everything :thumbsup:

should be more competitive this season

all you have produced is the likes of robbie savage-say no more!!:blush:

I don't think that the directors do too bad a job really. Apart from when ITV decide to put ads on 3 laps from the end.

I mean, they have 20-24 cars (dependong on entry) and they are only able to focus on one particular battle at any one time. Cant be an easy job.

Millzy, although I'm a Hamilton fan, I do hope that they focus less on him this year. It did get a bit over the top last year. But I have a feeling that Mclaren aren't going to be at the front this year, going on testing times...unless they're sandbagging and leading the others into a false sens of security.
But IF the mclaren isnt that good, it'll give us a good idea of really how good Hamilton is. Remember, Senna used to make a crap car competetive.

I notice quite a bit of Lewis bashing. I don't get it.

Yes I understand the usual from our border sharing cousins, but that's expected. We do the same, although much credit to the Giggs and Murray they are both genius. Having said that Zeta too. Anyway, back on the planet..... I don't get the animosity I hear from others. Have I missed something, has he said something, done something. I am not saying anyone is wrong - I just don't know why? I think he's the best thing to have happened to F1. Made it interesting again.
