You mean against his team mate, or he will move over to let Ferrari past should the two be competing for a place? It is an interesting point - Team Orders are totally permitted between the two drivers, but I wonder what official rules exist between two different teams? rarely a factor in terms of final results, but never know what could happen. Bit of a shame the Sauber name has gone now as well. The last small independant team left. |

If the new Alfa Romeo shares the same 2019 engine of the Ferrari it should be on the second or third row of the grid, that will please Ferrari if it keeps the Mercedes at bay , I feel they need to play the same game and upgrade RacingPoint or Williams to full 2019 spec .
If Ferrari’s game works this year then Mercedes will find it difficult to win the championship .....time will tell 🤔

Are the cars more or less the same this year?
Hamilton for title No.6 I recon. Now Alonso has gone, by far the best driver on the grid. I hope honda and redbull can do something, but doubt it, always fun to see max Verstappen pushing hard at the front.

Much less front wing by the looks of it.
So many races these days. Would love to go to Monza one day.

I hope the highlights on Ch4 will be comprehensive. If not I will only be seeing the British GP this year!

I quite like the ch4 highlights. TBH I cant stand the hours of waffle before and after a live race and in 2hours of racing, there is only usually about 25mins worth watching anyway.

I like to see the entire race personally, but the price of £18 a month is too much.
Cant stand C4 program with Steve Jones, Suzi Wolff and Eddie Jordan - just as bad as the 3 Ex-Top Gear prats, so be a matter of recording the highlights so I can fast forward past the stooges. It was originally meant to be highlights on a Sky FTA Channel, which would have been a lot better!
1 F1 Live and FTA on Terrestrial TV for 2019 season (British GP)
3 (possibly more) F1 Races Live and Free in 2019 for Sky Subscribers without Sky Sports Subscription.

Anyone seen the new Red Bull in it's 'One Off' livery ... Truly fecking awful!! However I do suspect that like last year it's to stop people working out the angles of the bits and 'air flow' round the car ... Camouflage really
