It's fairly clear from comments on BBC Sports Director Roger Mosey's latest blog entry that Formula One won't be available in high definition, despite the BBC taking over the rights to show it from ITV this season.
It's worth noting that many F1 races aren't currently shot in high definition -- it's been a long enough time coming to get them in 16:9 widescreen format -- and therefore the BBC has little control over them. Singapore's night race was the first.
Many suggest that it's an issue with Bernie Ecclestone and the way that Formula One is currently run. Whatever the reasons, F1 won't be available on the BBC HD channel (in native HD at least) this season.
