As this thread was entitled 2010 F1, it's time for a new 2011 thread.

The great news is that the FOM have announced they'll be making HD feeds available to the broadcasters. The BBC have already announced they'll be airing in HD. Now if your local broadcaster isn't showing it in HD, you can really blame them, whereas previously it wasn't their fault.

yeah and it will never be the same again.
F1 is more of a big business than a sport.
The 1 thing I miss is the over taking which is very hard now.

Very much agree, it's not quite the same knowing who's going to win every race either. For the last 10 or so years it's been: "Gee, who will it be this week, Ferrari or, let me guess, McLaren?"

The last two years have been better though. One for team Brawn and one for Red Bull. Would shake things up if Williams and Mercedes both get the next two titles.

Porsche more likely to tackle Le Mans than F1
