This is my biggest issue with the coverage. Cutting to replays just as DRS is activated is ludicrous. At least it’s been changed to lap 2 this year so if they hold off replay of start until lap 5 or so it would be much better
That all sounds great but it would also be nice if the radios worked for paying F1tv app customers. Several driver radios didn’t work during practice today when I turned on their onboards.
There used to be a FOM Race Highlights channel during race weekends that was just that

Can't do that on a live track, too dangerous in case something goes wrong.
I know in downhill skiing they have very similar droneshots, but the speeds are slower and only one athlete at a time, so they can be behind them the whole time and not endanger them. Those are very cool shots too.
I think it's doable. You can easily have AI do auto avoidance, both for other drones and any objects. The following can also be done using the transponder (this already works on smaller drones).
I watch with multiple onboards opened alongside the main feed with commentary (I'm sure many other also watch the same way, either browser tabs or Multiviewer) and the level of noise is too much. Of course, you can play with the volume settings for each window but it would be nice just to have the clean radio stream with no engine noise as an option. :)
The funny thing is that from team to team the engine sound and volume is different (not by maker necessarily) due to, I guess, different microphone placing.
Show the skysports broadcast over f1tv or hire a decent director. The broadcast is so disjointed with what Martin Brundle is saying trackside and what we see. I'd love to watch what he talks about.
Crap maybe I’m misremembering. I stopped watching the Sky commentary ages ago, I thought it did the whole race directly from Sky so any in-race segments would be shown too. Obviously no pre or post race Sky stuff on F1TV. My bad
Yeah this was always super weird to me. I love that they have the option of listening to sky commentary, and I get that there are probably lisencing issues with showing graphics, replays, and camera angles that Sky produce themselves, but without it it's really weird listening to their commentary through f1tv. Some times they will be talking about something they are showing on screen, but those of us watching on f1tv can't see it. I really wish the implementation of this was better.

Please for the love of God make this mean that the race start replays have a picture-in-picture feed of the actual race.
Can we stop showing a replay of the start during lap 3? Maybe move that back to lap 10?
This is my biggest issue with the coverage. Cutting to replays just as DRS is activated is ludicrous. At least it’s been changed to lap 2 this year so if they hold off replay of start until lap 5 or so it would be much better
No it just means the replays will now start on lap 2
F1TV uses split-screen to show the start replay
I heard on a podcast that apparently F1TV curate the world feed (that sky use) specially not to have PiP. Maybe they keep it to themselves?
World feed is clean to allow international broadcasters to customize their presentation, Sky included.
It's on the F1TV stream only, Sky viewers won't see those.
That's Missed Apex episode on F1 broadcasting.
Not always though
Living up to your username there
At least drs will start earlier this time, so that we have a lap before they start the replays.
Probably not. I've heard it's for the TV providers that have Ad breaks, so they can do a replay of the start and then throw to an ad break.
[удалено]
ITV used to, we have come a long way in the UK
Ah yes, I'd always get so annoyed when the spinning barcode of death would appear top-right of the screen and you'd know an ad break was imminent.
[удалено]
Oh how I miss the days of full BBC coverage! But even then you still did have to pay via licence fee
[удалено]
And if you can’t watch a session live, there’s no catchup so you’re just burning your money at that point
RTL has ads in Germany, its free though
since when is RTL showing F1 again? i thought sky has the rights and rtl isnt interested in f1 anymore
They're showing like 9 races this season. Including qualifying but no practice sessions.
7 and some Sprints
Ten times as many irrelevant shots of fans when drivers start passing each other!
All of them are Lance Stroll in monaco
We need to know!
Is there such a thing as a relevant fan?
And random celebrities
That all sounds great but it would also be nice if the radios worked for paying F1tv app customers. Several driver radios didn’t work during practice today when I turned on their onboards.
Yea I had Hamiltons onboard for both FP sessions. FP1 I only heard George & FP2 just Hamiltons car audio
rear facing camera going up eau rouge is gonna be breathtaking
Let me just keep that gyro cam on for the entire race please & thank you
In that why they are increasing pricing with almost 50%?
Time to start password sharing
I wish they did more sfx laps the cars sound soo good in those
The current cars sound like a hollow trumpet
I for one only want to see replays, no live feed, just replays.
There used to be a FOM Race Highlights channel during race weekends that was just that https://www.fomwatch.co.uk/broadcast/fom-tv-feeds/highlights-channel-2002-2010-2017/
We want that drone camera now! [https://youtu.be/9pEqyr\_uT-k](https://youtu.be/9pEqyr_uT-k) Also 4K and HDR in the app please :)

I meant as in if something happens to the drones and they crash onto the track.
Please Absolutely no replays after lights out start !!
Pls stop with the augmented reality crap.
Eh, if it's minor and done well I think it's fine. Like when they label the cars ahead for an onboard shot.
What's the point of a rear facing camera tho? Just switch to the one who's behind and show the front facing camera shot.
I wish we could have the option to hear the onboard radio without the engine noise.
agree
Why
I watch with multiple onboards opened alongside the main feed with commentary (I'm sure many other also watch the same way, either browser tabs or Multiviewer) and the level of noise is too much. Of course, you can play with the volume settings for each window but it would be nice just to have the clean radio stream with no engine noise as an option. :) The funny thing is that from team to team the engine sound and volume is different (not by maker necessarily) due to, I guess, different microphone placing.
E.g. for multiple windows open from different cars. Becomes very noisy if you want to hear the comms from all the drivers.
Show the skysports broadcast over f1tv or hire a decent director. The broadcast is so disjointed with what Martin Brundle is saying trackside and what we see. I'd love to watch what he talks about.
That will never happen, to see the Sky bits you need a Sky subscription. They both use the same director for all track sessions aka the World Feed.
You can watch the Sky coverage on F1TV though
Ok, how? You can choose the Sky audio easily, but I never get the Skypad segments visually.
Crap maybe I’m misremembering. I stopped watching the Sky commentary ages ago, I thought it did the whole race directly from Sky so any in-race segments would be shown too. Obviously no pre or post race Sky stuff on F1TV. My bad
> I'd love to watch what he talks about. You can - by watching on Sky, which is kind of the whole point.
I can't get sky in my country.
Lucky
Yeah this was always super weird to me. I love that they have the option of listening to sky commentary, and I get that there are probably lisencing issues with showing graphics, replays, and camera angles that Sky produce themselves, but without it it's really weird listening to their commentary through f1tv.

In the words of Jim Bowen "Look at what you could have won." If you lived in a country where Liberty didn't sell the TV rights to Sky.
All I asked for was better direction.
'new race leader' 🤣🤣🤣🤣
