Formula One Management has confirmed that all F1 broadcasters will receive high definition feeds in 2011.
This will give F1 broadcasters the choice of offering HD footage to viewers.
Sky Germany announced yesterday it will broadcast in high definition and Australian broadcaster OneHD announced on Twitter its F1 coverage will be in HD.
British host broadcaster BBC is yet to reveal whether it will show F1 in HD but it is likely to having previously indicated it would as soon as FOM offered the feed.
Further details about its 2011 plans are to be published following the change to the commentary team announced yesterday.
Many other mainstream sports have been available in high definition for several years. NASCAR, America’s most popular racing series, has been in HD since 2005.

Update: BBC announce they will broadcast F1 in HD in 2011. They also confirmed Eddie Jordan will remain on the coverage team.

Looks like Speed is on board:
Fans of Formula One in the United States will have the HD option on Speed when the season open in March.
For the first time, the international feed for the FIA F1 championship will be originated and offered in High Definition.
“We couldn’t be more pleased with this decision and our ability to bring our rabid F1 fan base coverage of their favorite racing in HD in 2011,” said Rick Miner, Speed's senior vice president for production and network operations. Speed is installing continuous fiber service, which Miner said would ensure the best picture quality.
