Formula1 2016

[Cleoriff]

Channel 4 has taken over the terrestrial viewing for Formula 1 after BBC opted out of the contract.

I love F1 and am a bit dubious as to how successful this will be. However they have stated there will be no adverts during race time (thank god)

Yesterday they officially revealed the presenting team......

David Coulthard, Mark Webber, Alain Prost, Alex Zanardi, Susie Wolff, Karun Chandhok, Eddie Jordan and Bruno Senna; alongside seasoned live presenters and journalists Steve Jones, Ben Edwards and Lee McKenzie.

It also says Guy Martin will be making appearances

Actually the press conference was good.  Nice to see Lewis and Alonso enjoying banter. When Lewis was asked what position he could expect from 20th.....Alonso piped up and said 4th..

I heard him add, in a whisper, "From the back"

So I've now got the PC set up to watch it on Sky or Channel 4 and Lewis is taking the penalty this weekend....maybe I'll give this one a miss

To be honest I think this is one that needs watching @jonsie. For no other reason than to see Lewis barreling his way from the back to whatever position he can get. He only has a 19 point lead so it's important he minimises the damage this engine penalty is giving him
