That was a pretty vital insight for me personally

I think they should go back to qualifying laps when they do the onboard at every track in the review and as an extra instead of a special part of a race

Are you sure it’s not just an ‘upscaled’ feed – i.e. not true HD?

“It’s simply that Bernie won’t pay for the bandwidth to broadcast the HD signal out on the world feed”

Where is that info from? We get F1 in HD in Australia.. did last year too.

These DVD’s are great.. they sell cheaply on the f1.com store.

brilliant review! I especially loved the onboard feature from every race (timo vs jarno, monza! )

I love the part ‘A champion’s drive’.

Amazing onboards (Glock’s first lap at Singapore, Rosberg’s start at Sepang).

yeah which means that they’re experimenting with better cameras to see if it works or not. and it did work I think. now the next step will be making the larger manned cameras HD.

On the subject of HD, as I understand it all of the FOM equipment is HD. I’m sure I read somewhere that the feed to the hospitality suites at the circuits themselves is HD. It’s simply that Bernie won’t pay for the bandwidth to broadcast the HD signal out on the world feed. You would hope that the recordings are kept in HD, which means a Blu-ray version of this season review would be entirely possible.

I have to say, I’m very glad this site keeps banging the drum for HD. It’s criminally overlooked by the rest of the F1 media. I remember watching NASCAR in HD over in the US in Autumn 2007, where it had been in HD for ages. Even a mickey mouse series like A1GP is/was in HD.

I’m always disappointed by the Official Season Reviews. I’d much prefer a ‘Full Season’ disc set that includes the races in full, and maybe even a ‘per driver’ review of the season.
Ultimately, it would be great if the full season set (that doesn’t exist) included BBC’s race buildup and post-race forum as well, but then it would be a BBC production and not a FOM affair.

I’m not holding my breath.
