In the hi-tech field of Formula One, you might expect teams to have few problems with simple video streaming. Yet new team Virgin, found the internet launch of it’s new race car was blacked out by technical difficulties last month.

Thousands were expected to watch the VR-01 car being unveiled on-line, but no one got to see the images as the video link failed. New Brazilian driver Lucas di Grassi made light of the situation saying, “Calm down people. I'll ask if I can put a picture on Twitter."
