(firmenpresse) - LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwire) -- 07/09/12 -- Ahead of the 2012 FORMULA 1™ SANTANDER BRITISH GRAND PRIX this weekend, the F1™ companion experience on the Sky Sports for iPad app now includes split-screen technology, meaning customers can watch more of the action by selecting two live camera feeds simultaneously on the same screen.
