Very interesting piece on the BBC site about F1 car aerodynamics - Formula 1: The Secret Aerodynamicist
Williams are going in the complete wrong direction.
So Ferrari wern’t sandbagging and are 7 tenths off the pace.
Yay........
Honestly F1 this weekend? has to be the most low key start to a season. Thought this yank crowd would have been more on their game. If you dont have sky how would you even know it starts this weekend.
Channel 4’s coverage is even further restricted this year, 1 live race (British GP), they aren’t allowed to do a grid walk or interview drivers in ‘the pen’ and they can’t show race highlights until several hours after the chequered flag.
Similar gap to last year. Mercedes looked genuinely surprised by the gap to Ferrari but Melbourne is an odd circuit so will be interesting to see how it plays out come Bahrain. Thought Bottas had it but not quite, great job by both Mercedes drivers.
Kudos to Lando Norris on his effort to get into Q3 on his debut qualifying session. Hopefully Carlos has a better race than qualifying.
Unfortunately this is what we have thanks to a deal signed a couple of years back. Channel 4’s coverage is even further restricted this year, 1 live race (British GP), they aren’t allowed to do a grid walk or interview drivers in ‘the pen’ and they can’t show race highlights until several hours after the chequered flag.
BBC do some great stuff on the BBC Sport website and the 5Live commentary is fantastic but nothing like watching it.
