Interesting development - wonder what this means for Formula 1 or its coverage?

Probably not a lot, unless you want to spend thousands on coverage other sports charge little or nothing for.

I noticed that the new official f1 app is developed by 'Formula One Digital Media Limited' & not Soft Pauer like the old timing app's were.
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/officia ... 22598?mt=8

It also featured team radio & audio commentary I guess direct from FOM Via there 'Remote Operations Centre' in Biggin Hill.

F1 2014 Premium Season Pass inclusions:

Live Timing - with customisable timing pages, follow official lap timing to a thousandth of a second, gaps, intervals, sector times and best laps. See instantly how a driver is doing compared to rivals using the official timing colour codes. Plus DRS data and pit stop indicators.

In-Corner Analysis - on selected corners, compare team mates’ entry, exit and apex speeds. See their track position, their braking points, in-corner gear and rpm data, and where they start accelerating out of the turn.

Exclusive Team Radio - each live session features exclusive driver radio transmissions not available anywhere else.

Drag Reduction System (DRS) data - exclusive to the Official F1 App, the interactive map shows which drivers have DRS available and how they are using it. Monitor a driver’s speed, gear and track position as they pass through the clearly marked DRS zones.

Race Control Messages - live updates on track, stewards’ investigations, stewards’ decisions, DRS status, driver penalties, blue flag warnings, air and track temperature and more.

Tyre History - learn which tyre compounds drivers are on, which tyres have already been used, how many laps a driver has done on the tyres and whether it was a fresh set or a used set.

Live Commentary and Video Stills - as seen on Formula1.com, read through live text commentary alongside regularly updated still images of the race. Commentary also available in French and German.

English Audio Commentary - for live English commentary, listen to the Official F1 App's carefully selected English race commentary team, provided by one of our broadcast partners.

Personalisation Content - personalise your experience by choosing your favourite driver to view their information quickly. On smaller mobile devices, the timing pages can be adjusted to show the data you want to see.

And more - with a newly designed media hub, keep up to date with the latest news, features, video and images from Formula1.com. This also includes a race results section, standings and a live, in-race championship standings calculator.



Also FOM have put a video up on the website talking about the changes for 2014:

Live English commentary. That's awesome! I can get rid of the useless Italian commentators! \o/

How much is it priced at on itunes?

Better than the 30 euro's (or something like that) they asked last year! With the new options it definitely is worth it, 30 euro's was way too much.

Can't wait to plug in the English commentary to my speakers. Now just hoping Sport 1 has an option to put Olav Mol's audio track off with only engines sound running.

Jack Nicholls will be joining the 5Live commentary team this year replacing Jonathan Legard, He will be doing the races James Allen doesn't do. Allan McNish will be alongside both I think for the full year now that he's retired from racing.

Jack Nicholls has been doing commentary for the FIA GT & Blanchpain endurance series races the past few years.

And what about us, who don't have an android/iOs device? I bet the web livetiming will be the same as 10 (or more) years ago...

I think if you look at the app, you will miss all the action on TV.

I got the app last year. I liked being able to see sector times during the race but I did find myself looking at the app and missing things on the TV. It was quite expensive as well. Around $50 NZD I believe. I probably wouldn't bother getting it again unless it was significantly cheaper.

Bit of a joke to pay that much when they replace the app with a new one (and charge again) every year.

Wasn't like Frank Williams trying to convince Keke Rosberg to stop smoking until Keke actually looked the least exhausted on the 1982 Brazilian GP podium where Piquet and Prost almost collapsed? :lol:
