    I just upgraded my Sky+ to HD for £10 extra a month, got a free HD box and £50 M&S voucher. Saved from spending the time & money buying another satellite dish and watching in German. I'll sell the old Sky+ box on ebay so I must be quids in...

    I'm confused.

    Do you need an HD subscription to watch F1, or simply Sky sports package

    Yes!

    Or, more helpfully, you need either the Sky HD package or the Sky Sports package to receive the F1 channel.

    If anyone is considering subscribing to Sky, drop me a PM - I can help you save £100 on the installation (and get £10 back myself!) on top of the M&S vouchers being offered by Sky.

    They keep pushing HD as they want everyone to upgrade, but it is also shown on regular sky.

    But only if you subscribe to the sports package.

    Sky have been showing a 1hr loop on the F1 HD channel for a week or so now

    It shows a time lapse video at the Williams factory of them building one of the new FY'12 cars up, a cameo on Emerson Fittipaldi, a short story on Mansell moving to Williams in 1986(?) and some nice HD footage from the last couple of seasons. Full programming starts Friday but this is worth a quick look when there nothing else in.

    Hopefully Ferrari will actually be as slow at the first race as they've been looking in testing, but they could be sandbagging. We'll find out in just over a weeks time

    Been doing a bit of research on 2012 F1 testing, and it does appear Ferrari are sandbagging a little bit. RB still seem to be the varsity though, and Mclaren still seem to be playing catch-up, but I'm more interested in how the mid-field furball is going to pan-out...Lotus, Sauber and Force India seem to have all made steps forward...

    Complete guesswork forecast for Australia:-
    - Red Bull victory, probably 1-2 barring retirements
    - Alonso also on the podium
    - Mclaren struggling to keep Mercedes at bay.

    Blue '08 FD2 CTR - big, ITR-sized shoes to fill...
    Yellow '96 NSX 3.0 - oh was it worth the wait!
    Black '99 ITR - well, I had to have another one, the first was so much fun. Miss this one even more than #1...
    Blue '03 S2000 - SOLD, flawed but fun
    Blue '04 Focus TDCi Sport - SOLD, very good fun for a diesel!
    Black '00 ITR - SOLD, still missed
    Red '98 Civic VTi - SOLD, probably still bombproof

    ....I gave in to the Murdoch Machine this morning!! Tried for the 1TB box upgrade for free but no go... Got the standard HD box free including delivery plus half price (£5.12) subs for a year.... no vouchers from M&S though but not needing any new pants & vests at the moment

    not a bad race today ... great to see button take victory

    sky have certainly pushed the boat out in terms of coverage etc ... pretty much nabbing all the best personnel from the beeb and thrown the cash etc

    not sure how long the dedicated channel will last though ... only so many times u can run the same stuff ... surely

    Great race, nice to see JB win & that RB are not as dominant, Williams showing lots of potential.

    Also good to see MB have potential & the Iceman made an impression.

    Getting rid of the blown diffuser should make racing closer.
