Was a bit worried last night watching some of the F1 clips made available via the red button...There seemed to be an updated version of 'The Chain' playing in the background :(
I really hope they stick to the Fleetwood Mac original :dozey:

After reading this its making me feel a bit sick already. Seems like its not all that different to ITV, never liked the 1hr pre-qualy coverage anyway since they repeated most of the stuff on the pre-race show.

1) The Chain - yes, the TV theme tune will be the iconic original version of this track, as used by the BBC previously. We feel it is inextricably linked with the BBC and F1, and still the perfect soundtrack for the sport.

Ahhhhhh, that's a relief :s mokin: :up:Quote:

It looks as if there'll be two PIP streams: the onboard with the world feed in a smaller window and vice-versa.
More details: http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pro..._feature.shtmlQuote:
F1 fans will be able to customise their viewing experience via the BBC Red Button, with access to all on-track sessions, including Friday and Saturday practice and qualifying.
On race day itself, a choice of three streams will be available featuring split-screen in-car camera feeds, leaderboards and rolling highlights, with the option to listen to either network or BBC Radio 5 Live commentary. After the end of each race on BBC One there will be an additional interactive programme analysing the weekend's events and picking up views from the paddock.
:D
Looking good :s mokin:
It says it's available on Sky and Freesat (thankfully I have both!!) but there is no mention of freeview or Virgin, unlike for the other sports mentioned on that page.
It will be on both Virgin Media and Freeview. The only loss is that Freeview can support 2 interactive streams, so viewers will probably only get one onboard channel and the highlights on 301/302.
I'm ready to go now, having installed a spare Sky box and made room for another TV :D
I really need to get another TV in. After all I could run the main TV off our Freesat feed and use the Sky box to feed TV no. 2 :p . I somehow doubt it would go down well, mind :cool:Quote:

Since the race has been inexplicably moved even later (better for the Australian fans I guess?), they'll have an extra couple of hours of Sunday morning to play with, and I think it would be great.
IIRC the ITV one had the Grand Prix movie, a review of the 1958 F1 season, and loads of other excellent and interesting programmes too
