My brother has his Sky registered on two devices already so I don't know what I'm going to do to get Sky on my 360

I don't have Sky Sports.
Do BBC have rights to highlights for the races they aren't showing live?

Fanvision gets the BBC Five Live commentary.

Pretty sure they do.

Aye they do.

 

[Betta Lines]

Yeah there will be 1.5 or 2 hours of highlights a few hours after the race.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

I hope Sky show old races from the 80s onwards in full, those season review programs are likely to be the shoddy vhs review tapes the FIA put out

Do you have Sky? Because you don't need to have SkySports to gain access to the F1 channel, you can get it from having the HD package.

I can give you live text commentary whilst I watch in glorious Sky Sports non-HD. It will consist of this:

WEBEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTOOOOOOOOOONNNN JESSSSSSSSSSSSSSIIIIIIIIICCCCCCAAAAAAA WEEEEEEEEEEEBEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRR

Very informative.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

I'm a few days away from a Facebook status asking if someone wants to share their Sky details with me!

But that will be second best. Cheers mate. <3

I wish Virgin offered the same thing, else you would be there with it - alas their fibre connection won me over compared to Sky.

 

[brotkasten]

This year is realistically going to be Webber's last shot at the title, and that's only if he can match Vettel.

I'm still hoping he can pull a Button. It would be great to watch. If he doesn't we'll be like Massa. The guy that almost won the WDC.

 

[Ark]

Does anyone have Sky and have used SkyGo? A mate of mine told me the player has a delay of around 2 minutes during football matches. Thats ridiculous, the iplayer only had a delay of around 10 seconds.

I'm going to take a guess that the SkyGo player thing is higher quality than the iPlayer, but I could be wrong.

Going from my experience with it on 360 it's not.

What do you mean pull a Button? Get picked up by a team with a superior car to that of RBR and the rest of the field (by far) and be the best driver on that team so he can basically end the title race by the halfway point of the season?

I have Sky but I don't have HD or Sports package.
I'll have to find a SkyGo code from a friend then. And I imagine that may not be great with my 150kbps internet. If only I had money!

>1 hour of highlights will have to do. That's better than nothing. Alternatively, Sunhi can gif the race for me!

what are the chances of having a bbc app for sky sports?

Very little. Sky's encryption is on a different level to the BBC's.

so im stuck to the dutch coverage =(

hope there will be streams at least, or english commentary from sky by martin brundle on the radio so i can mute my tv

 

[Diablohead]

I find the test channel for sky on the xbox is rather grainy, its SD but not filtered in any way? looks rather bad sat at my desk.

I agreed to foot the bill if my parents get the sky channel package in our home, my dad has wanted sky for a long time and since I work and still live with my parents, why not, but when F1 is on the main room tv IS MINE!

 

[DieH@rd]

We definely need some way to stream live SKY coverage of F1.

BBC-PLAYER.COM was so awesome, it would suck if we cant find anything simmilar for 2012 season.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

I can't believe you have to pay £40/month for just a Sky sub with the sports package.

I might as well bend over, pull apart my arseshole and slip their raping cock in to me.

If I could subscribe to the F1 channel in HD for £10/month... maybe even £15, I'd do it. For ONE channel.

So stupid I can't just do that.

 

[SunhiLegend]

I'm going to take a guess that the SkyGo player thing is higher quality than the iPlayer, but I could be wrong.

I'm not too concerned about the quality, I'll have the channel on the TV. Its when I'm creating the gifs on the laptop I don't want to be waiting over a minute before the SkyGo player shows the incident, overtake etc.
I have to be able to create gifs as quickly as possible

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Only for 10 races. I assume that the BBC-Player is going to work this year and show the BBC's live races.

If Sky screws up SunhiGIFS, that will be the last straw.

Renault engines offer fuel advantage

"The Mercedes engine is about 15 horsepower more powerful than ours," Jean François Caubet, Director of Renault F1 Sport, told Spain's AS. "The Ferrari also offers more power, but in terms of driveability and fuel economy the Renault engine is in front."

When discussing race advantage, Caubet explained that Renault-powered cars can line-up on the grid with 15 to 18 litres (approximately 20-24km) less fuel than its rivals.

"Red Bull can start races with 15 to 18 litres less petrol in the tank compared to the competition,'' he added of the crucial weight saving. "That makes the difference."

Any positive news about Renault engines are welcomed

Now let's hope the Lotus pace is real.. We know it's faster than McLarens at the time being, but what about the rest?

Mercedes F1 W03 to be unveiled on the morning of the Barcelona test

Mercedes will present its new car to the media before the start of next week’s Barcelona test session. Michael Schumacher, Nico Rosberg and team chiefs will assemble in the Circuit de Catalunya pit lane from 8:20am, with testing then continuing from 9am (GMT +1).

The new car has been branded F1 W03, dropping the ‘MGP’ label now that the outfit has modified its name from Mercedes GP to Mercedes AMG.

The Brackley squad began its winter testing programme in Jerez but used the 2011 car in a bid to obtain more accurate comparisons for the modified Pirelli tyres as well as further development time with the new chassis.

You might want to get multi-room too.

Anyone excited for the Catalunya (not Barcelona) tests? They are next week, aren't they?

It's faster if you look at the times of the test, come Aussie qualifying Mclaren will be on top.

more of a hope post.

Hamilton said something interesting

"I think you can see the Red Bull looks quick, the Lotus looks ... quite impressive ... you don't know what it's up to but it looks pretty quick, but you never know what fuel loads people are on. But I think we've been pretty aggressive with our fuel loads."

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Yes indeed.

It'll be our first relatively accurate indication as to the relative pace of the respective teams.

As Brundle once said "A good car at Catalunya, is a good car everywhere and the reverse holds true".

Pretty well made 2011 compilation, if you mute the music.

[Foliorum Viridum]

A montage is only as good as the song which accompanies it. Thus, that one sucks.

 

[Ark]

Probably the best F1 2011 compilation I've seen actually.

 

[Adamm]

It sorta looks like its combined a load of BBC montages into one

Pretty much what he did, it certainly has the BBC's trademark production values that far surpass any other F1 coverage providers, like SPEED, TSN, One HD, RTL and Rai Sport etc.

RB8, MP4-27 & F2012 slider comparison.

 

[Ark]

The McLaren and RB8 look pretty much the same up until the nose. Haven't bothered looking at the Ferrari.

 

[Betta Lines]

The Ferrari seems to have the driver slightly further back...

Mateschitz: Why not Webber?

&#8220;Our attitude has not changed &#8212; there are no team orders,&#8221; the Austrian billionaire said. &#8220;It starts at zero again, for both of them.&#8221;

&#8220;From today&#8217;s point of view it is difficult to say. But why not (Webber)? I&#8217;m curious to know how hard or difficult or impossible it will be for Vettel to defend his dominance,&#8221; he added.

for the bbc stream you essentially only need an uk ip address.
the bbc-player was a pretty frontend for TOR with an uk exit node. that's why bbc can't really do anything about it without changing their whole system.

this won't work with sky, sure somebody will stream it here or there on the net, but sky could shoot those down quickly

Used a lot of the exact same footage from this one, but didn't quite nail the edits as well as that one did either.

I still have the top comment, too. Suck it, FV

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Your top comment should be down voted by everyone because the audio skips are clearly to get around the Youtube copyright detectors so that it won't be removed.

You're a shit Youtube commenter mate. Just accept it.
