The Official 2010 F1 Thread!!!!!!

Yeah, FOM is now doing their feed in HD. Speed HD is an HD channel and they probably cropped and upscaled the footage, but it was still an SD feed.

That makes sense, I always noticed that the lap-count graphic at the top of the screen was slightly cut off, and the ones at the bottom.

Yay! F1 in HD!!

Was it not before? I was watching it on Speed HD all season, but I guess that doesn't mean the feed was in HD.

[quickervicar]

Yes!!

[quickervicar]

Good point

Yeah, but at the same time Audi has the same stance for the most part, and unlike Audi, Porsche actually has F1 derived technology in their cars.(Williams KERS device)

PS When is the best time to make the 2011 thread?

once we see a new car

But Porsche's long-time stance has been against F1, opting instead for GT/Endurance. They claim it offers a better application to fine tune their production cars. I think they have a point.

[E30Kaiser]

I was thinking Porsche myself.

[quickervicar]

I suspect you will see an Audi symbol on the side of RedBull

[E30Kaiser]

Redbull apparently might make their own engines once the Freeze is over, which I was just recently wondering why they don't since they keep complaining about the Renault. Supposedly their favorite choice though would be to pair up with VW/Porsche.

[5Toes]

^ agreed. There budget is plenty big for an overhaul on the design

[Jand3rson]

Don't you guys think that they would redesign the aero of the car with the new windscreen as an integrated part of it? They're not just going to take last year's car and screw a windscreen onto it.

[naplesE30]

I guess the fia are seriously considering mandating windscreens in leui of the massa incident 2 yrs ago and the schui crash last season. Seems like it would screw up the air intake and aero in this p-shop, but if designed properly I think it could really help the aero as its would ruduce the buffeting of the drivers big melon in the cockpit. Not sure if im for or against it.
