I have posted this thread because I am constantly failing to find some good sites that are dedicated to providing high quality footage that also is permitted by the FIA. Andrey Grushin whom seems to be a spin-doctor of F1 footage on the internet is nothing but a ghost, searching his name only came up with a few posts on message boards that mentioned him as some sort of surgeon, (that or my Russian is'nt too flash :confused: ). F1 mpeg archive has closed down, you can imagine i was pretty peeved about hearing the FIA had closed that down,:mad: . F1onboard and Crashin.nu are sites where you have to request a clip and wait for someone to post it, not exactly what an archive should be :grumpy: . The links on Youtube are horse-crap and break my computers neck trying to load those sites. Please help me!!!:scared: :nervous: :scared: :nervous: :scared:
 
Well, you could try F1 Archives for 'classic' F1 footage, but I don't think there are any sites left since most of them have been closed down (as you pointed out).
 
i usually post a few videos (from itv1 - UK tv channel) and screencaps in the race topic - see page 4 of the spanish F1 grand prix topic, for example

you could always check google video, or i have heard that bit comet is a good program for sharing 'HOME videos'.

They were asked to take down their clips or face legal action. Copyright/broadcasting/contractual reasons really.

That, and Bernie Ecclestone wasn't getting any money from it, which of course makes him angry.

Yep, that too :lol:

There is plenty of F1 stuff "out there", it's just a shame that the FOA don't like people distributing it. A couple of the sites mentioned in this thread used to be really good for F1 clips, but sadly no more. Good job I got in beforehand (86GB and counting), but a shame for everyone else.
 
When are we going to see Google Ferrari?
