BBC player [with integrated proxy] got upgraded i see.

Is there any way for test HD stream to be fixed on quallity setting "4" ? That setting is still better than regular SD iplayer stream, but it does not require high bandwidth.


edit - F1 PRESHOW IS ON! GO HAMILTON GO!

 

[Omiee]

And we're off.

Man im going to miss bbc coverage of F1 =(

can someone tell me what will happen after this season, because i havent read everything.
will we still have bbc forum and bbc coverage next year alongside sky coverage or is that over as well?

 

[navanman]

BBC coverage GO GO GO!!

Looks cold, wet & overcast.

Track temp : 17 - Air temp : 17 - Humidity : 82

 

[Dilly]

If it rains, Alonso's going to have a sucky race.

 

[Omiee]

they adressed the issue

oke so they have 10 races and the rest is just highlights?

 

[navanman]

BBC apology and grovelling now...
UGH!!!

Eddie talking it up now. Vomit..

 

[Ark]

YOU COULD HAVE JUST CUT OFF BBC THREE YOU MONGS.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Poor Eddie

 

[Az]

10 races?

 

[Dilly]

Sigh, no more talk from the paddock next year for Dilly.

 

[Omiee]

i still dont get it, is it 10 races like this every year with bbc forum and everything or what?

 

[navanman]

Sigh, no more talk from the paddock next year for Dilly.

Twitter comments are golden:
Piss off Jackey Wakey. "Extended Highlights" are junk. Just admit it, BBC management screwed you and they screwed us.

I imagine they will make other cuts to the pre and post race as well. Jake will probably get a promotion to some other area of the BBC.

noooooo, i dont want to go back to dutch commentary and coverage, fuuuuuuuck =(

 

[Dilly]

I liked Vettel's finger more when he did it out of joy, now it's just because he knows it's his trademark.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Imagine how pissed off people who actually pay money for this are.

i know the feeling, i used to hate the jump michael schumacher used to do everytime on the podium.

is this just for next year, or for years to come.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

He‘s fronting the Olympic coverage next year, so that should keep him busy.

 

[Dilly]

I'd give McKenzie a tour.

 

[f0rk]

2018, but the current deal was meant to last a couple more years so anything could happen. Especially when the viewing figures take a dive.


Factory is cutting lots of new front wings for Schumacher.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Indeed.

 

[Az]

I'd give McKenzie a tour.

*creepy nod

well at least we have 10 races with the bbc with their awesome coverage, better than nothing.
i just want to know if this means no david and eddy and bbc forum.
Also how are they going to choose what races they are going to cover?


also shumi never used to be this open, right?

 

[RomanticHeroX]

Is it expected to be overcast for the entire race?

EDIT - I think it was probably Ferrari that was more reserved than Michael himself. They're very, very selective about letting people see their factory. As for knowing the staff personally, Schumi has always had a reputation for getting to know and thanking absolutely everyone in his teams.

 

[Ark]

also shumi never used to be this open, right?

That's why he's been incredibly awesome since his comeback.

 

[Omiee]

Rain will make things more exciting

 

[Gareth Bale]

Intermediates start would be great news

 

[Stop It]

If it rains, Alonso's going to have a sucky race.

Don't count him out just yet.

I have a feeling Ferrari and Alonso will be fighting hard for the win here. I would love to see Button storm from 3rd to 1st on the first corner but we'll see.

Rain predicted for the race so we wont see it at all. The weather radars are evil liars!

 

[Dilly]

I want an Alpinestar racesuit.

 

[Xun]

I'd give McKenzie a tour.

The women who was painting the car was fine as well.

Mighty fine.

 

[Sloane]

Rain will make things more exciting

Just like last week!

 

[Dilly]

Haha, Brundle's tires looking great.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Love the features that Martin does, so very insightful.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Bit off topic, but does anyone use the intermediates in F1 2010? I always feel in that game that if it's dry enough for inters, then it's dry enough for slicks.

 

[Omiee]

so everyone on inter's?

 

[ANDY_098]

Martin Brundle says 'undercut' way too much.

so everyone on inter's?

At least for their exploration laps, most will start on slicks I'd imagine. It doesn't look too bad and the track will dry out quickly if it doesn't rain before the start.

 

[Omiee]

i have been looking forward to this feauture about the pitstops lol.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Been looking forward to this feature.

 

[Stop It]

Yep. That Pirelli test car (That modded 2009 Toyota) seems to be very destructive to the tyres too.

Well the track is already wet and the teams are expecting rain. Rather the thought of Inters>Slicks the talk is from Inters>Wets? This just means that the race is wide open.

 

[Omiee]

hahahahaha always know which garage to stop in, that was awesome.

 

[ANDY_098]

Anyone know how much torque those wheel guns have? I've heard they can break your wrists if you're not careful.

 

[Omiee]

Its getting harder and harder to hate on hamilton.

But man this was a nice feature.

 

[Stop It]

hahahahaha always know which garage to stop in, that was awesome.

Hehe, I don't think Button will ever live that down.

Team McLaren (+Humphrey) > The BBC Commentary team at tyre changing.

 

[f0rk]

They had a professional wheel off dude, cheats.

 

[Dilly]

Hamilton became a much nicer guy after his 2009 shit season.

Setting 4? I'm only getting HD setting, the one after 4

 

[TylerD]

YAY RAIN!!

 

[Frawdder]

That track looks a little damp.

SAFETY CAR!!

 

[SunhiLegend]

Hamilton and Alonso Awesome

 

[Omiee]

Yeah i used to absolutly hate the guy, when raikonnen was still in F1. But he seems to be a much nicer guy now.

Anyhow button is such a cool guy, congrats to him.
Would be awesome if he could get out and get a win today.
