Default F1 in HD?

I went to SPEED's web site this morning to get the tv schedule, and next to F1 they are posting a high definition logo.

Go check it out - http://www.speedtv.com/schedule/filter/program/833323

Are we really going to get F1 in HD????

i think it depends on if your TV provider will pick up Speed HD. i know Comcast doesn't have it.

I noticed it last year. But it seemed off and on for me, sometimes I'd get quali in what I thought was HD, but the race wasn't in HD. Weird.

On another note...I tend to watch quali on Speed (is Peter Windsor still going to be there?) because they actually have people on the ground for that. But I always watch the race on TSN for their British feed. Even if not in HD. TSN's quali coverage just uses that weirdo Donaldson on a phone call, none of the British commentators unfortunately. Can't stand Varsha, but Hobbs and Matchet are alright... better than Derek Daly for sure!

Thanks for the heads up, Doug! Speed Channel has been slow with HD so far.
