I’ve just bit the bullet and purchased 3 months with NOW TV at £25 a month .....if the season turns out to be worth the money will pay month by month to end of season . Lost out on the £190 a year package as it looked like no racing was going to happen .

Lost out on the £190 a year package as it looked like no racing was going to happen . well, you'll get some racing in there ... 8 races in the first 10 weeks! Not sure what the calendar will look like after the Spa Event. Next one in the current list after that is Sochi, Russia, 3 weeks later but there is talk about another double-header in Sochi. However .... Coronavirus is not really under control that well in Ruski, so that might not go ahead at all? I also cannot see teams happy to cross the Atlantic to go to USA, Mexico OR Brazil with the way those three countries have escalating cases. Asia also was meant to see some rescheduled races, but I'm wondering it they will happen either with the Authoritarian governments wanting to control local outbreaks? Really think F1 2020 will be Europe and Middle East only.

So who are you cheering for then??
I'd quite like to see Hamilton get No 7. Although after all the pre-season chat be good to see Vettel leave Ferrari with the title. Hmmmmm??

I am hoping Lewis gets the title again Seb ... not really. Leclerc? Deffo not (I just don't like him). Let's hope Seb shows him who is boss. Next year will be interesting at Ferrari with Carlos Sainz there. He is a super driver. I am looking forward to the other two Brits - Russell and Norris - racing and hope their cars let them do something decent this year (fat chance with Russells Williams sadly) I think Max V will be the closest driver to Hamilton this year. He has knocked off most of his rough edges to become a 'proper' race driver (rather than an unguided missile. Will be a case of When, not If, he becomes a WDC I have no doubt.

Great work from Lando Norris. really pleased for him. Lewis was a bit unlucky with the penalty as it didn't look like he could have done anything about the collision, but that's racing I guess. Albon was a bit silly trying the pass there. Lewis getting penalised for a collision is no consolation for ending up at the back.
Also kind of pleased the cars seemed to having problems when going over the kerbs. About time the drivers raced on the actual track! If the Mercedes broke down after being repeated told to stay off the kerb I honestly would have zero sympathy.
Be interesting what changes are made by the teams in race #2 on the same circuit. I don't think any team will want to just replicate the same performance for the cars (even McLaren as they did only luck into 3rd)

I don't think there has ever been a driver who has managed to either move away from or to a team at the wrong time so often! Looks like Renaults car for the new regs in 2022 is going to be poor
