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

Well whatever
We all know they will fix it for Rosberg to win

There'll be tears before bratwurst if either Rosberg or Vettel don't win.

[MI5]

For sure!

If anyone looked at all the F1 social media sites....folk are saying pretty much the same

‪#‎OnThisDay‬ in 2013, Lewis Hamilton took his 1st F1 with the Mercedes-Benz Silver Arrows!

3yrs on, he's now got a total of 27 victories, 46 podiums, 29 pole positions and 2 world titles with the team... BOOM!!!!

So bring it home my man....

And so it begins again...Welcome to the grid....

Hockenheim F1 Practice 1 about to begin...

Lots of discussion about Lewis complaining to Charlie Whiting last week about the 'lifting' (or not) by Rosberg.
Drivers are split on this ....some agree with Lewis others don't. 

Not many of them 'like' the fact that Rosberg got away with it. He slowed 20kph...and as everyone says no way was that any intention to stop
Also they reckon this is the last race that Lewis will be using this engine....So after the summer break he will have a new one and start from the back of the grid....?
