I actually agree

Then get like some American drivers to really trigger the euros. I'd say look at indy but Bourdais and Power and Hinchcliffe and Sato....

We can't even win our own open wheel series. Why are americans so bad at open wheel? silly nascar

gently caress Ryan Hunter-Reay is our best hope of an American F1 driver? Yeah nope.

Get some random fat dudes from a podunk Ohio dirt track racing series, get them up to speed with open wheel stuff, and get them their Super License. Then let the Fit Europeans watch in disgust as they pull themselves from their ~~extra~~double-wide Haas cars with McDonalds advertising prominently displayed on the distended abdominal area of their race suits.

I have a feeling this was asked a few days ago, but I dont remember it being answered.

Is testing being broadcast anywhere this year? Was the F1 streaming site meant to show it? Anyone else?

Oh, and we all know the real reason Williams had to postpone their first day of testing.... they needed to change their livery!

f1.tv will show at least the entire first day of testing. the morons running the show could show it live like indy does it for the 500 IMO

Sky F1's actually going all-out this year.

quote:

Sky F1 will be broadcasting live from Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya on all four days when the first pre-season test is held on February 18-21.

For our UK-based audience, coverage will commence on every day of the test at 1pm as the teams and drivers put their new-for-2019-cars to the test for the first time.

Including insight from special guests, team bosses and drivers, live coverage of the track action at Barcelona will be broadcast until 5pm UK time when the chequered flag will fall to mark the close of each day's running.
...
Live television coverage of the test will begin on Monday February 18 at 1pm and will continue until 6pm.

Sky F1 will also be broadcasting live coverage on Tuesday February 19, Wednesday February 20 and Thursday February 21 between 1pm and 6pm.

Testing is the most boring poo poo to watch. MotoGP has broadcast the first test for years and you can compress anything meaningful into a 30 minute wrap up show.

For real, the end of the race took 2 hours it felt like.

Serious posting:

The 2019 Mercedes livery is going on my small list of greatest all time liveries. It's loving gorgeous.

Also of note is how the Merc engine is "heavily overhauled" and practically brand new with a focus on intensive cooling and the car itself has undergone massive and aggressive weight shedding on every component.

All I'm getting from that is 2019 is gonna be an unreliable year for them.
