Re: UK F1 coverage 2019 and onwards

£195 for the year? It was cheaper than that last year, wasn't it? I can't really afford that all in one go so I am not sure what I'll be doing going forwards this year.

So annoyed that this is life for the next 5 or so years.

Can someone much smarter than me explain what the hell is going on with that Alfa front wing? I know they said it would be a radical design but I didn't know they meant this radical. Has to be a loophole they think they can exploit or something?

It's a 4 for me. It could well have been a 5 if Ferrari/Vettel didn't drop the ball.

The first half of the season was fantastic and it was all so close, i really thought Vettel was going to take it this year. The points do not show the whole picture.

I wouldn't say it is that unlikely. Only bad luck/brain farts has caused Vettel to not win all of the 4 previous races. Actually I'm coming round to agreeing. It's still in Sebs hands, just. If he drives at his best for the last 7 races he probably will be champion. And that is exactly what I think...

For me, I support Hamilton as he is a British driver. But to be honest, I don't have a driver I dislike so when he leaves, assuming we don't have another Brit I'll probably follow whoever I find exciting. I own a DR 'Shoey' t-shirt so maybe I'll support him... Or at least just cheer when he does well.
