2012 Formula One Season - Round 1 - Australian Grand Prix (16-18 March)

I have a bad, bad feeling about that last promo.

'F1 goes live on 10.'

What's the bet that means F1 will ONLY be on 10. In ratshit SD.

Surely not. It'd be one of the biggest raters on One. Wouldn't make sense.

So now that ten have announced their showing the f1 on ten live during the euro summer, does that mean we wont get it on one now?

It already looks ratshit on One anyway.

Watching the SkySports broadcast. Maybe channel 10 should have a look to see how it should be done.

That's exactly the point. Because each channel is listed seperately, if you simulcast a show it comes up as two half ratings.

I.e. at the moment it would be

One - Formula 1 World championship - 400,000 (or whatever)

but if they put it on 10 and one it would be something like

Ten - Formula 1 World Championship - 200,000
One - Formula 1 World Championship - 400,000

And now if they only put it on 10 forcing everyone to watch it on that channel they get

Ten - Formul 1 World Championship - 600,000

And it ends up being a much higher rating program, even though it's in pathetic quality.

If programs are simulcast they're counted as one, as are the ratings. It's why with the one hour preview show on One before races, it ends at 9.50 and a new program (the race) starts. So they can simulcast/replay that on Ten and get the same ratings.

Am however noticing that all the crew this weekend have had Ten shirts/microphones, not One HD. I'm getting worried...

 

[Herbs]

They were crapping on about the F1 being on at 9:30pm Sundays, I guess it's fully migrating over to Ten......Hmmm...

The new Sky Sports F1 channel is great. They have some great docos on through the week and their coverage of the weekend has been great so far.

Daniel Ricciardo looks like a freakin kid. Good luck to him for the race in his new car.

 

[Simple Jack]

Currently no live session?

I tend to disagree Formula1.com I'm pretty sure there's some race or something about to happen?

Edit: All sorted now.

Pumped.

 

[Macca19]

Very excited!

 

[Starlin Castro]

Let's do this McLaren!

 

[ManWithNoName]

Apparently Seb has no KERS.

 

[Blue and Gold Blood]

So nervous for Ricciardo. Hope he can avoid any T1 carnage and finish the race, preferably in front of his teammate and in the top 10.

Make Perth proud!!

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Vintage start from Webber. lol

 

[Starlin Castro]

Nice start by Button, Hamilton lucky.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Webber says he has damage

Ricciardo poor start as well

 

[TheStinger]

Grosjean you muppet. Miss the start and open a gap up for the McLarens.

 

[Macca19]

Nice move Vet!

 

[Macca19]

****. Was hoping Grosjean would have a great one

 

[Unrivaled Mach]

God the commentary is painful to listen to.

 

[Starlin Castro]

Grosjean gone!

 

[TheStinger]

How the frack did Rosberg get a start like that?

 

[stewie griffen]

God the commentary is painful to listen to.

I'm watching the US coverage.... which is awful

Great start for the two aussies..... lol

 

[Rod Stroker]

This looks like being a McProcession already
