2011 Formula 1 thread - Bigger and better than 2010!

the announcers are really not that great. In F1 there is a camera crew that feeds every broadcasting company and Speed announcers really have to just "wait and see" what views they are going to give you. its called "the world feed" so the announcers dont really control the cameras they just comment on whatever is fed to them. Pretty sure the BBC has to do this too but F1 is huge in the UK. Most of the teams are located in the UK so they take it much more seriously and have better announcers.

F1 just isnt that big in the states. We dont even have a race here anymore. (soon to change hopefully) America loves NASCAR i guess. I never have understood that but I do respect the drivers and their abilities. the F1 races are all over the world and that means if you want to watch it live you have to stay up at like 3am to watch. (perfect if you just came home from a night of drinking and have some jack in the box) but otherwise pre-DVR world kinda sucked

The BBC has been broadcasting the F1 series for years except for a couple of years they lost the contract a couple of years ago. Their broadcasters are pretty good. Even David Couthard makes a funny every once in awhile.

Plus i think BBC has multiple feeds. I know they have a feed thats just for kids as well as the regular broadcast.
