Hey if it gives the other teams a run their money it can look as ugly as possible but if it goes like a rocket it's all good .

apparently most cars noses are going to look a tad weird this year, something to do with the regulations...

It won't...

Next car launch is the McLaren MP4-27.. let's hope it looks decent. The 26 already had a very low nose, so it probably wont be much different on the 27 with the new regulations.

Does anyone know what the DSTV 2012 coverage is going to look like? As you all know, the BBC is no longer broadcasting all races and qualifyings live as the rights have gone to sky (BBC will now only show 50% of the races live). DSTV has always used the BBC live feed in the past so I wonder if we will also only be getting half the races live?

If I recall correctly, that's not how it's all stuck together. We don't get the BBC feed, we get the world feed as organised by Supreme Leader and His Grace the great uncle Bernie Ecclestone himself. That feed happened to have BBC commentary in recent years.

FOM (Bernie and co.) negotiate directly with those who provide commentary in all the different languages for worldwide broadcast. We'll likely receive the Sky feed this year, so we'll lose Coulthard but keep Brundle.

Interesting! Thanks for that. Now if they could just do away with the stupid SuperSport commentators before and after the races...

[killadoob]

I want the entire feed and not the super sport BS we get stuck with.

Coulthard gone , i was loving the little snide comments between him and brundle. We will see everything live for sure. It's just a matter of who gives supersport the feed.

I am so upset the david is gone .

If SS F this up i will cancel with them, i am only keeping dstv for f1 and a few other sports but mess with my f1 and i am outta here.
