Hope it's proper HD, not some upscaled crap like the last race of 2010.

Trackside cameras are ging to be Full HD but the onboards are still SD so will be upscaled .

The last thing I want to see is Bernie Ecclestones gimpy wee face in 3D looking at me. HD will do for now.

It won't matter, you wont get more than 1080i through sky or anything else anyway.

The link details the bandwidth, but again, this will be determined by bbc's broadcast anyway

With no other HD feed I'd struggle lol.

Judging by the time it's taken for the F1 to go HD, Bernie will have been dead for 10 years when 3D arrives.
