Default BBC Announce its F1 coverage

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/7755219.stm

No mention of HD

Alhtough some of this stuff sounds good

F1 fans will be able to customise their viewing experience through the BBC's multi-platform offering with options such as: split-screen action; a live leaderboard; in-car cameras; choice of commentary; live online streaming; live text; interactive forums; circuit guides; and blog

Cool.

It can't be long before we can connect our Logitech Force Feedback steering wheels to the telly-box and feel the action when watching in-car video streams...

Does it say no HD? Maybe they plan to do this but just didn't feel the need to "announce" it.

Be a great spectacle in HD though! Hope they do.

Brundle was on 5live the other day it was one of the questions put to him, will it be in HD.

Answer is no because the BBC don't prduce the feeds from the grandprix's it's all fed straight from the local tv companies.

Doesn't explain why Bernie hasn't put pressure on the individual local production companies to film in HD.

They've already announce no HD. I was using F1 as an excuse to upgrade to HD; now I'll just have to spend the money on rent, food and bills instead.

Most the coverage now comes from Bernie's own TV company. I'm really suprised at Bernie and the BBC not seeing this as a bit of an oppurtunity to go HD. A1GP is in HD on Sky.

I think Eddie Jordan will be good, and I'm really pleased to see they're keeping Brundle. But I'm still far from convinced the BBC will do it any better.

On both points

I must have been one of the only people that liked it on ITV

New options sound cool. I will probably look like the setup when the Olympics is on.

No HD.
