I'd rather not have to give money to Sky but if I do end up getting Sky F1:

You'd need to add the entire Sky Sports package, and it would be HD only.

I'm holding out for a NowTV subscription like they offered last year, but it doesn't seem to have been announced yet.

Toyota never built anything as bad as the RA107 and RA108. Their first and last cars were actually quite good.

Williams should have made a "Frank's dreams" livery instead of whatever that is that they put on the car at the moment.

e: wait, maybe they are doing that already, and the rearwing endplate was Frank's dream of how many employees will be left at Williams in 2020

"Speaking at the Geneva Motor Show, F1 CEO Chase Carey outlined two priorities, split between the relevance of the technology on show and making the championship "inviting to all"."

Yeah, "inviting to all" worked like a charm when they hosed off Porsche/VAG because they refuse to simplify the drivetrain for 2021. They might get rid off the MGU-H, but the thing will still be something you need years to develop.

And I don't know how much truth there is to the rumor that they are actually debating active suspension for 2021, but I wouldn't be surprised if they actually do it, and finally drive off every manufacturer who doesn't have endless amounts of money. Look at the stupid situation with the tyres. Michelin was interested, but said they'd only do wheels for larger rims. FIA said "no problem, we introduce larger rims in 2021, but you have to join in 2020, so you'll have to develop tyres for a single year, you stupid idiots".

I'll laugh my rear end off when Liberty loses interest in F1, sells it shortly before the loving concord agreement is running out, only for Bernie to pick it back up with some investors, and resign the agreement.

Anyway, MotoGP is starting in couple of days, so there's that

They gave us CGI eagles and Heineken stars, and that one race were the drivers entered like wrestlers. Oh, and the new graphics, and F1TV. F1TV is kinda okay, allthough unreliable, but the rest was either poo poo or simply dropped instead of improved (the eagle, of course, not the wrestler entry).

Also, Formula E has drivers shaking their heads in the graphics when they bin the car. This is something that needs to be in every proper racing series.

Simplifying the engines didn't happen because Porsche didn't actually commit to joining the series, and without a new manufacturer all you're doing is increasing costs for the current engine suppliers.

Don't wanna sound like a dick, so don't get me wrong, but are there sources that kinda confirm this? Would FIA have simplified the drivetrains if Porsche joined? Porsche basically said the exact opposite in regard to why they were no longer interested. Just wanna find some more sources to form an opinion upon.

Seriously though, Porsche never actually committed to joining F1, which meant the teams refused to commit to adopting "cost-cutting" measures that would've benefited only hypothetical newcomers while forcing them to spend more to redesign their current power units without the MGU-H.

Aren't the drivers set for the season now? They have a calendar posted on the site finally https://wseries.com/races/
Since my driver (Zellers) got knocked out I guess I'm rooting for The Chad now.
Also I went to a local car builder guy to see if he can weld some 90 year old British metal that broke on my bike (he couldn't because British metals are fraudulent) and he had this in his shop
