Broadcast graphics changed on Speed...

Post

I know this is my first post/thread but I've been a lurker for quite some time so if this is in the wrong spot my apologies. I just wanted to voice my frustrations with how the broadcaster of the Speed channel feed no longer shows the running order during qualifying. This seems baffling to me!... Not sure much can be done but wanted to voice my frustrations. Carry on... :)

unfortunetly it is the feed they get, they are stuck with the views and graphics.

It's the same for everybody. I am yet to hear a person who likes the new graphics.

I like some of the new graphics. Mainly the rev/speedometer.
I did see a place system, however it was at an odd angle. like this --> / /

During the race, I'd like to see a list of who's where instead of that scrolling line at the bottom. I never see #1-#8 and it stays there for too long.

You guys need to learn how to watch F1 properly..

F1 Live Timing on the computer screen, F1 race on the TV


Best of both worlds! ;)

Oh hell yeah, Twitter has brought a new level to F1 for me!

Tweetdeck is an awesome program for it. You can sort everyone into separate columns.. I have everyone i follow sorted into either 'F1' for Journo's, 'F1-Teams' for anyone directly associated with a team, or 'Others' for everyone else not F1-related! :lol:

Yea the layout of the display really sucks and seems to get worse every year.
I liked the one they had 10 years ago best and I wonder why they never manage to improve anything?

True, I liked it last year though.

One positive note however is the lap counter on top of the screen. While it previously counted the number of laps still to go, now it shows "3/49" when in lap 3. But that's about the only positive I have noticed...
