Not enough white, they must have been gunning for Aquafresh sponsorship.
I like the back half and dislike the front half.
Last row on the grid going to look pretty decent.
I feel like I built the Williams livery in Lego Racers back on the N64. I think that's what it is.

Ugh Williams accepting their position at the back of the grid and going full Hispania.
Honestly if Williams haven't sorted out their management by the start of this year then I fear for their future in F1. They can't survive another era crawling at the back of the grid.
I wonder if Claire will be swallowing her pride and taking a step back because right now Williams is just totally lost.
Nice drone footage! This is a complex with few strong turns, so cars have to slow down. Liberty should add drone coverage to few select spots on some tracks.
Bought one month of F1 TV Pro to follow pre-season testing, they just started a test broadcast on the track, image quality is quite good (never used F1 TV Pro before).
I think the problem is more that there are slabs of colour designed for sponsor logos... that are then left blank. If the liveries were designed for no sponsors, they would no doubt look a tonne better.
Image quality is good, but sadly they are still stuck on 30fps.
Does anyone know how F1 TV pro functions when you subscribe to watch from your country of residence, but you intend to watch a race from a holiday destination?
I'll be in Japan during the first two races and I kind of want to try to stream the races when I'm back in our hotel.

PU winter development news / rumour round up:
F1 Technical's resident Merc insider says they had a Brixworth PU event yesterday, they gained 20 bhp over the winter, but reliability issues, engine hasn't reached target mileage.
Italian media says Ferrari improved by 15 - 20 bhp from combustion improvements.
Honda made a big increase in performance and reliability. IHI have been dropped as the turbo designer, they've gone full Jet on the hybrid. No issues on dyno, 5000km covered.
Renault's Taffin says there's no noticeable performance change from last season, packaging has been improved to aide efficiency.

Laughable. Endurance racing is really in the doldrums. Well, Le Mans will survive as it always has done, but the WEC, who knows.
DPi seems to the future for endurance racing with the new LMDh convergence.

Theyre in a really bad way rn.
The moment it became clear that Hypercars will be BOP'd to race alongside LMDh it was pretty much over for them. Even Peugeot is now is thinking of going LMDh for 2022.
Why go build an insanely expensive bespoke Hypercar when you can be just as competitive in what will basically be an LMP2 car with a spec hybrid system?

Third year in, and the only F1 TV app for set-top boxes is a newly released Roku channel. I remember when they told me they would have an Android TV app in a few months at the original release. I had so many issues early last season I gave up on it. ESPN's broadcast of the world feed was good enough for me.
Sweet, additional episodes of Drive to Survive [behind the scenes]!I know some of you guys were on the lookout for this, -25% on F1TV pro yearly sub with code "EARLYBIRD25":

Shame they are still sticking to 30fps livestreams.
They wouldn't dare take the risk. One falls out of the sky and hits a driver doing 300k and its all over.
Is it anymore risky than flying a helicopter over the track? Some of the shots show it flying pretty damn low.
McLaren to switch to Mercedes engines in 2021
McLaren will switch from Renault engines to Mercedes in 2021 after signing a new contract that will extend until 2024.

I think its definitely the right move as long as McLaren doesn't fuck up car designs during those years.
Alright F1 Era, I've decided that I want to get in to Formula 1 this year. I watched that Netflix documentary and listened to the Shift-F1 2019 primer episode. What else do I need to know?
Ferrari will absolutely fuck up their strategy, Mercedes will downplay their chances before being the benchmark all season, Leclerc and Verstappen hate each other and there will be lots of references from Martin Brundle about how the energy recovery system will give you enough power to happily push a family car.
I know about Verstappen and and Esteban Ocon (who I don't think races anymore?) but I didn't know about him and Leclerc. Thanks!
Bahaha this is painfully accurate. This, and 'ambition ahead of adhesion' seem to be his favourites
Oh, he is racing this year for Renault? I just saw him pop up. I swear I'm interested in this shit but I've only been playing attention for like a week having just realized the new season was about to start.

Pretty sure they'll have this up and running in the UK by now!
*goes to check*
Uh, why isn't this made available in the UK after three years?
