It'd be a very short trial which consisted of only the British Grand Prix..

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
The problem there is FOM do the track cameras for the British GP. Unless the BBC is willing to take up host broadcasting for one time only to see whether it can deliver a quality HD feed, then it won't happen.

correct FOM are the host for all races apart from Monaco and Japan so those are the only ones filmed with local kit.
There have been a few races in the past like Australia and Japan that have been filmed in HD but that was a few years ago when each country produced the feed themselves

The trouble is that poisionous dwarf will want more cash to broadcast HD.

That said, perhaps more night races could be considered. I really enjoyed the Singapore GP last year. It really did add an extra dimension to the tension.
P.S. And Aunty, if you are watching, please, please, please give us F1 on HD!

As I understand, the BBC would like to show F1 in HD.
As for the comments about night races, I was actually thinking more along the lines of when the viewers will be asleep. If they hold (say) the Singapore race at 1pm local time, then in some of the countries that watch F1 most, it will be night and a lot of their potential viewers (casual or not) will be asleep. The sponsers will not like that as it will reduce their potential market.
As for the casual observer being more interested in the action rather than the sponsorship, this is true. But if they are seeing a selection of logos consistantly for two hours then that may influence their buying decisions (subconciously rather than conciously). Indeed, that is how sponsorhip works.

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
the thing is there is no point the BBC filming one race in HD as they don't provide the feed for other races so what would be in HD. Bernie has no intention of going HD.
As I stated the BBC aren't even the host broadcaster for the British GP that is FOM

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
Brawn are majorly sandbagging in practice - Hamilton's fastest time in FP1 was done on soft tyres and probably low fuel - I dunno as I wasn't awake to find out. Ferrari are so far behind they've got more work to do than the entire field put together just to be on the pace!

Does Ron Dennis's departure mean that a deal has been done?

the press are stated that Hamilton's father and RD don't get in. It i claimed that during "liegate" Hamilton Snr tried to get Lewis to quit over what was going on. Part of the "deal" to keep the world champ on was for RD to relenquish all control of the team.
Either that or true to his word he is handing over the team to Whitmarsh and wants to concentrate on the other areas of McLaren

Glock has a penalty for a Toyota gearbox change.
Seems them quickshift gearboxes aren't so reliable nowadays.

Wet start today. Button heavier than Red Bull & Renault.

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
Yep, it's piddling down!
Liked DC on the gridwalk with Brundle, good partnership going on there. 
This could be a good race, unlikely to be stopped before 3/4 distance this time, so I'm gonna go put the kettle on!
EDIT: S/C start according to Renault's Pat Symonds. There did seem an awful lot of standing water when Hamilton did his outlap!
