Press The Red Button,

26-05-2013, 14:17

Just a quick reminder to all you Sky-sports F1HD viewers to press the red button to access Sky Race Control. Lots of features, on board cameras, live timings.

There's currently a front facing on-board camera on Vettel's car (option 8) and a rear facing camera on Hamilton's car (Option 7) which are great for the current battle between them.

But don't forget the Track-mix on option 2, timing screen option 3, pit lane option 4, Driver tracker option 5, Alonso on board option 6 and a race highlights loop on option 9.

All this on top of 5.1 Surround sound in HD, The Monaco GP never looked or sounded better

Race red flagged, It times like right now when the extra features come into play, whilst waiting for a restart.

No they are not , although I believe that could be in the future pipeline.

I'm exactly the same , I would sooner stick to the main broadcast on the HD channel.

It would be nice though, especially yesterday at Monaco, if they'd shown a few more onboards on the main feed. I was really enjoying it, but they kept cutting off rather than staying with it.
