I think Youtube integration would be a better idea. Now youtube are sponsors of USF1... it would be great to see a sports section on youtube.

Youtube recently set up its 'shows' feature.. which has tv shows from channel 5, bbc & channel 4 on....

Next up, sports? & Formula 1..... Youtube is massive... millions of users... F1 and youtube go well together...

Just want it in HD on tele. Not bothered about it on the net and dont want to pay.
If I want to pay, I'll pay to watch live.

We take a page from MotoGP. Who offer classic races to watch on their site, plus other videos, and an internet podcast "after the flag"

I hate the idea of pay-per-view but having online streaming is a great idea (there was free streaming on the Formula1.com site in 2008, as I remember watching one race on that site when I was away from home). Internet streaming is a wonderful idea as it's available anywhere as long as you have a broadband connection and access to a computer. And with millions of wi-fi hotspots it's a wonderful resource for people who travel a lot. PPV would kill F1, it's not popular enough to command £15/$25 per month.

Thing is, both these things can be accessed in the UK via the BBC which kinda suggests a poor show from the broadcasters rather than FOM or whoever.

No it doesn't, the BBC had to pay through the nose to get the rights to showing F1 online.

But they still did it, thus proving that it is available to the broadcasters, should they choose to invest in it.

I thought it was on BBC HD

The feed isn't in hd, bbc hd probably shows better quality than usual.

But its not filmed with hd material

Poootube would be a great way now that they are sponsors
