Looking forward to this season, as usual.

Huge year for Vettel against Leclerc, and for McLaren as a team. Surely they have to target Renault (works) as their target?

Can't wait to see how RedBull do with Honda.

Hope Hamilton retires from the fist 19 races...

Can see a Vettel meltdown by the French, like when Riccardo joined Red Bull. Think Renault will keep best engines away from McLaren, making the decision to go Renault more of a bad decision, driven by Alonso I guess?

Unless Merc have reliability issues, Lewis will win again, as above Ferrari will have more petulant behaviour because of non compliant young upstart interfering in 'Vettels' team, where as Merc have a compliant second driver.

Nice one J-G, that's a fab set of facts n' figures ;)

 

I'm really looking forward to watching the F1-19 season albeit I'm a wee bit pi$$ed off that it's just on Sky.

 

The Leclerc seat will be one to watch for sure.

 

Is Sky doing a free to air F1 channel? I thought I read somewhere that they had to, where the race is not shown live similar to the highlights C4 does now.

Channel 4 will show highlights of every race for 2019 and only do one live race, they struck a deal with Sky in exchange for channel 4 content being made available to Sky users.

 

As much as I want to watch all the races live I refuse to get Sky to do so.

Ah right, great. I thought C4 was only doing 1 race period. I am the same, point blank refuse to pay Sky any more money than they already ass rape me for per month.

Im more interested to see what Danny Ric can do in the Renault, and also if Williams and McLaren can do anything to salvage their great names

And how Kubica stacks up in race distances and consistency. He's got the talent, but does he still have the (human) tools.

Nice to see Leclerc not too far off Vettels best time and also Kimi up there as well.

 

Were the Mercs at max attack to be 8 tenths up on the next team

 

Not looking promising for Williams going by the time sheet which is a shame

as they appear to be a country mile off the sharp end

 

Quite looking forward to qualifying

Hopefully McLaren get into the points this year after may years of unreliability, I know there is a strategy for them to get to the top 3 by the end of the year. Carlos Sainz seems promising to McLaren hoping we have a great start to the season.

Still at the wrong end of the time sheet but lets hope they and Williams can improve and get

back to where they should be, it would liven up the racing for sure if they could get on the pace

of the top 6 ish

Seriously doubt they will get back up to the top 6, I think for most of the early year they are still looking at development and maturation. Never know though Carlos and Lando might bring some surprises to the grid. I work for McLaren and have for the last 4 years now, there will be an improvement but will be later on. I hope the excitement is brought back to F1, last year made me lose passion.
