Only if there were more racing slots. I find it hard to believe even NDR could fill 15 spectator spots with admins/stream/commentators

Quote from JO53PHS :

Having repaired the car, only 7 miles further on, Scirocco has a nasty accident.

<--

Dude that is brilliant.

Quote from JO53PHS :

<-- Scirocco broken down only 24 miles from LFS

Why do mathematicians confuse Halloween and Christmas?

Because Dec 25 = Oct 31.

Group C so close to group of debt

Chris Wilkinson = wilko868
Jack Atkinson = me
Joe Ellis = JO53PHS

We have this joke that Ellis is gay, so when Wilko put his status as "Wow Ellis has finally plucked up the courage" I thought that he meant Joe had come out as gay, when actually he was referring to the owners of Sunderland FC who sacked their manager. And so Wilko was disappointed at this. :P

Sorry for the joke very few people will understand. :P

Quote from Mazdaratie :

Cannot play media. Sorry, this media is not available in your territory.

Oh yeah sorry it's UK only

BBC F1 awards - hilarious

Quote from DeKo :

Eddie Jordan mainly, Brundle and Croft should be great, practice sessions in HD and I think Sky do a great job of showing sports (Football mainly, their football coverage is great), so if the F1 is similar I won't bother with the BBC at all. If Sky don't do a forum I will probably watch the BBC forum if it even exists next year though. Jake is a good presenter of F1, but I never really watch pre-race at all apart from the grid walk.

Agreed with that. Eddie Jordan makes me laugh, but not in a good way. And he has an incessant need to put his arm round whoever they're interviewing...

I've never really understood the Jake haters on the Beeb website. I think he's excellent At least Sky are making a decent effort at it, should be better than ITV at least

So according to Eddie Jordan:

Quote :

"That's why you saw Hulkenberg doing his media work without being disgruntled, even though he had to step back from a race seat at Williams last year.
"His loyalty is being rewarded with a race drive in 2012 alongside Paul di Resta, who has had a very impressive rookie season."

Although surely that would be in the news somewhere...... Me thinks he's been on the Guinness again.

Quote from amp88 :

BBC reported there was almost no oil left in Vettel's gearbox. No oil -> catastrophic failure.

But that info came from Red Bull

Quote from evilpimp :

Hamilton catching Massa . We all know what's coming. :P

Yep I just thought the same

Apparently Gary Speed commited suicide this morning RIP.

Quote from Bose321 :

Same here. Never heard of it before. (I obviously know AT&T, but not that they cover here)

The ads say "phones that work in....." therefore I'd assume they've got agreements with phone providers in 210 countries so AT&T phones work there. e.g. in the US my phone goes from vodafone to AT&T (surprisingly not Verizon which I thought was the same company...... :/)

Quote from CSF :

No. It's actually good and run by competent people.

iTCC is sprint races, BTCC style (in more ways than one! )

You can look at some of the broadcasts here.

Quote from Mustafur :

Why are the people that are attacking the sky coverage saying that if they where to buy the coverage they would get the package with all the extras, so it inflates the price so they can justify their point.

Get over it, nearly every country has to pay for subscription fees to get international sport coverage, you are no different.

Reminds me of those uni thugs having a riot over the fact the government won't pay for there degree.

BECUZ ITS OUR RITE TO HAZ FREE F1 ON TEH BBC COS WE PAY FOR IT!?1/!/?!1/11?!/

Seriously just have a read of any F1 blog on the BBC Website that has comments. It's hilarious. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/h ... t/formula_one/default.stm

Quote from Joris :

I'll check it this weekend.

It would be a nice work around if it would. I can imagine there would not be any Bernie rights involved in commentary without visual feed as the commentators just tell what they see and think.

If it works, please don't tell Bernie.

You can listen to the radio from any country so you'll be fine on that, it's just the BBC video you won't be able to watch. And it's the BBC so there's no adverts.

Quote from Kristi :

Yes, and iTCC lol.

This

Yep 5Live has still got the radio rights

Quote from boothy :

In fact you could probably already watch it on the BBC website on your iPad.

Doesn't support flash
