Yeah that news was being spread all over twitter since yesterday and I hope the BBC don't go down the 3D route any time soon. The sooner 3D dies the better as far as I am concerned.Quote:

Good Move. Afterall with a whole Channel for F1 and fairly expensive service, this is the extra coverage that gets people interested. Should be good. Just a shame they havent taken the decision earlier and for all 3 tests.
That's the thing, with the amount of money it costs to get this supposed wonderful channel, you'd have expected this to have been introduced earlier. Plus its not complete coverage of the final test, its only the last 2 hours broadcast live. I'll be honest I don't watch many practise sessions during the season as I find them intensely boring, so I'm happy with highlights and written articles when it comes to testing. Its nice for you guys to have the option though.Quote:

Now the Beeb is even forced to pay attention to testing where before they completely ignored it
The BBC have provided live text and been present at testing since they took over the coverage in 2009. They haven't completely ignored it in the past. I don't feel they are doing any more now than they have ever done. Annoying I don't think they are being 'forced' to do anything right now, I wish they were taking note of sky in situations like this. The truth is the Beeb know they are the primary broadcaster reaching 80% of British fans, so they know they don't have to put as much effort in for their return.
Dream on.......Quote:
