I hope that this season Ferrari to be better. Or RedBull to have a better engine.
Otherwise, we will see the same old movie.

As if we need Saudi Arabia. We've already got two money grabbing Sand Prix in states with utterly none existent records on human rights and general decency. No need for a third.



Only potentially redeeming thing is that Wurz has designed it and not bloody tilke.

Saudi has been on the cards for some time, but we shouldn't kid ourselves that the FIA has ever allowed politics or human rights to influence circuit choices. We currently have Bahrain, Russia, UAE, Azerbaijan and China, all of which have questionable human rights records. Additionally, there have been plenty of races in countries like Argentina, Spain, South Africa and Italy during periods where they had appalling regimes. And let's not forget that whole Nazi Germany thing they had going on.

Channel 4 is to have a 'extended highlights' format from 2020.

I'm guessing this will mean more of the race, still produced by Whisper Films.

One of the great circuits has officially given up. An utter travesty. Few countries can claim to have given more to motorsport, and particularly Grand Prix racing, than Germany.

How gutting sad.gif At least it served up one final spectacular.

Crazy to think there won't be a GP in Germany for the foreseeable, wouldn't at all mind Nurburgring coming back (scene of another wet-weather classic in 2007 of course).

I was wondering if Netflix will release a new series from 'Formula 1: Drive to Survive'. I found out that a release date is yet to be confirmed but we can expect to release it a week prior to the 2020 racing season.
Boy, I can't wait to see the new one!

Paul Ricard was an inheritance from Uncle Bernie.

I hope one day Hockenheim can return as they gave probably one of the great Grand Prix's of modern years and 2018 that was dramatic.

South Korea was a fluke, albeit there were some good races. F1 should have kept clear from South Korea.

I'm with Karun on this one and have been saying the same thing for years. You only have to compare the side by side on boards between Indycar and F1 from COTA to see that whilst F1 may be faster, the drivers themselves are not working anywhere near as hard

If they want to add/change the U.S. event, I still say Laguna Seca or Road America.

Renault, in the form of Remi Tafin, have Said that last year their engine was more powerful than Mercs and between Merc and Ferrari in terms of power (5-10KW between them) and that Honda was about 15-20 behind.

I’m about to die of asphyxiation from laughing so hard. As if
