Another interesting point from the race roundup - they said see us in Australia on "BBC One and BBC One HD" - now I'd previously read that Sky had exclusive rights to show F1 in HD, so I'd assumed there would be no HD coverage on the BBC next year - but perhaps this is no longer the case?
That may still be the case - but BBC1 HD carries BBC1 whether the actual programme's in HD or not, so technically it will be there...Quote:

Hearing CC sounds like he's commentating on Whacky Races.
Why not Crofty and Ant being promoted to the TV coverage?
Quite appropriate for DRS, KERS and Pirelli tyres.Quote:

LOL. Sounds about right.Quote:
