Not that surprising, they've been sponsoring Ferrari for several seasons before and now that the company is starting to gain momentum and turn profit they return to it. They were absent from Ferrari (at least visible logos on car) 2014-2017
Formula 1 - 2017 Season
- Thread starter Dave Baumann
- Start date
While waiting for the new season thread, at least on first tests Toro Rosso's Hondas didn't blow up and Brendon Hartley was faster than Alonso on McLaren-Renault (who also spun once early in the morning due poorly tightened nut on rear tyre, which led to tyre flying off mid-lap)
Now fingers crossed that Honda+Toro Rosso combo works, engines don't blow up and stay competitive - nothing would beat the feeling of hearing Alonso cry on team radio about Hondas passing him left and right
late edit: McLaren-Honda > -Renault, obviously

While we wait for @Dave Baumann here's a Force India (weren't they supposed to change their name this season?) with snow chains
Maybe Liberty Media is planning new, F1 Winter Championships to boost viewing figures
I miss F1 in winter and watching F1 cars trying to race on icy track should be hilarious!
What's the consensus on Sky's F1 coverage? Because that's what we're getting this year in the US, and I'm already annoyed that they've glossed over the close up shots of the insane front wing and even sideview mirror details of the cars parked in the garage, instead blathering on about not being to see the driver's face. I can't believe I'm in for another season of nontechnical analysis for a sport dubbed "engineered insanity." Where's Gary Anderson?!
One car has...vanes? ridges? caltrops? on their halo, which apparently tore clean through a driver's suit when exiting. Seems odd that they wouldn't decree a safety device a no development zone.

Sky's F1 coverage is the top coverage there is or has ever been on F1. It's the one Formula 1 has used on their own clips in YouTube if there's commentary on the video etc. They've apparently also had some special rights, since the "international signal" used by most at least used to be max 720p while Sky has had 4K for few seasons already.
It's also the one many Fnns including me watch using questionable streaming sources because our local F1 broadcaster is not only ridicilously expensive to watch, but also sucks.
Also, since wavey hasn't been around: https://forum.beyond3d.com/threads/formula-1-2018-season.60676/
I did lie a bit though, since I'm not sure if anyone ever can get on the level of Murray Walker (or in Finland Matti Kyllönen, don't deny it fellow finns, you know you like it!).
I'll take the honor since I started the thread
