Yes, as an f1 fan, I can easily understand how if you had virgin and the channel and it was showing the race right there you might want to not watch it because it's not in hd.
 
Thanks to the Virgin bullshit (No HD) I wont be watching it at all. I'm not even angry any more though.

I watched the second half of the season on my laptop lol, it was the only way I could gif while watching at the same time. Although as a fan you soon forget about the quality of the video once the race starts and you're fully engaged in the outcome.

Bullshit.

Why would it be a joke? We had a year of top notch HD from the BBC last year, why would I accept a shitty SD feed now... especially an SD feed that I had to pay (a ridiculous amount) for?

If I could buy the F1 channel and in HD I'd likely (begrudgingly) stump up the money.

So because you're not going to watch because it's not HD?

lol.
See answer A. What's so lol worthy about not wanting to pay hundreds of pounds a year for SD?

Keep in mind that Virgin customers will have to pay £270 for the privilege of Sky Sports as they can't get the F1 channel separately.

The way you worded your original post, you basically said you won't stand to watch F1 in SD. I'm a Virgin customer too, I get fucked over - but there's no way in hell I'm going to miss a GP thanks to it not being in enough pixels.

That's just plain stupid.

However, you have explained yourself better.

lol, i wasn't saying nicole was the hotest woman on the paddock. But she's certainly hotter than the bony one on the otherside of the mclaren garage

Sky F1 press day twitter round up
- Ted and GT say the magazine show will be good! Kings of the understatement. 2 hour launch show on the 9th and then a 1hr show every Friday evening.


- @MBrundleF1 confirms the grid walk will be back...when he feels like it. And admits he prefers being back as co comm

- More of everything says Ted. More team radio, more stats, more coverage of EVERY drivers race. That's what you can expect

- Lots of archive races shown in full plus the legends series as well.

- @MBrundleF1 mention he's off to Ferrari for an exclusive drive and shoot next week (driving a 2010 Ferrari at Fiorano, leading to a group of tech features)

- F1 in Dolby 5.1 surround sounds epic, especially the onboard footage.

- In Race analysis on Strategy, GPS, 3D car by @antdavidson

- @tedkravitz will get a dedicated cameraman during practice, q and race for covering events in the pitlane

Wait wait wait...so I haven't followed anything during the off-season (Except those incredibly ugly noses...ugh). So is the BBC not doing F1 anymore?

I'm in Canada but I used to watch BBC streams for my F1 coverage because what's offered around here really sucks. Is the new one streaming on the net too?

They only have half the GPs - Sky have them all.

BBC will show 8 (maybe 9?) races live, with delayed highlights of the rest. Sky will launch a new F1 channel which will show all races live.

Welcome! Always nice to see new blood in our humble thread.

Speaking of which, I know i havent updated much, but i can assure all of you that the new thread will be ready in time. I've got everything planned out so from here on it should be smooth sailing.

Lovely rear end and it certainly looks very aggressively packaged, but we'll have to wait until the end of Melbourne to see if it really is capable of taking it to the front-runners. Still hoping for a Schumacher win and podium during the season and for Nico to pop his cherry.

Look forward to it.

Actually pretty shocked that this thread has close to 4000 replies. :O

The beak section of the nose seems to be narrower in width than the front bulkhead, is this something unique to the W03 or have I just not noticed it on the other cars?

Good spot.

Most of the cars seem to have a gradual tapering, whereas the Merc transition seems very abrupt. It could just be a trick of the eye though. We'll know more with the official photos.

3 years? Wow. You probably know all our personalities already.

Haha, yes I know most of the users that post here. It was really frustrating not being able to reply!

I also know about the Webberlove, but that scares me a little bit...

Looking forward to the new testingweek, and lets hope McLaren shows a very good pace. It's the only way to get rid of those ugly cars!

Don't worry, I'll be here to protect you from the madmen.

Can't see that happening I'm afraid. It's very unlikely that every team other than MRL have made a mistake and chose the wrong nose. They all would have evaluated both types and the duck nose works best for them, MRL may be able to get away with it with the overall lower chassis and a very aggressive splitter. Teams can develop their splitter, but to lower their chassis to the same degree would require re-homologisation, which would be expensive and time consuming. So I doubt if many (if any) will switch to a standard nose this season.

I'm not convinced that it's all that different from the other cars.

However, I am quite interested by the cooling ducts near the exhaust outlets.

True, it may be the comparatively short side pods that make it seem longer.
