Preview of F1 2016

A lot of time may go by, but some things never change.

Once upon a time silver German cars were dominating the field, and Scuderia Ferrari - as their closest competitors - could only hope for the dominant Mercedes cars to break down, to have a hope at winning.

The story of 2015.
The story of 1930s.

By the looks of it certainly a dark horse. I'll have my eye on them.

Yeah , man , and he was playing with Enzo , too .

He is clearly giving secret signals that he wants to go to the red side .


I'm hoping this season is going to be a good one .

We've got a stable Manor on the grid , and a new entry in Haas .
We've got Lotus back in Renault hands .
Red Bull's got an engine .
Mac sacrificed last year to be stronger this year , so should make some serious strides .
The reds are talking large .
And , maybe Nico can challenge like he did in the last three .
We've got more tire choice now , so teams may not be as hobbled at times , but may get it very wrong at other times as well .
PUs have been made less costly , so future costing for customers is not only cheaper , but easier to budget , being at a fixed rate across the board .
Some elements being standardized means less re-design down time if you want to change manufacturers , and less time spent dealing with some of the difficult packaging problems brought on by working with elements designed for another team's car .

The FIA is being audited , and the EU commission may finally get things straightened out , so the minnows can compete with the sharks a little easier .

I've just got a sub for Joe Saward's mag for Chrimbo , so I'll have some more of his insight to peruse , and I've now got a KODI box , so I can watch it all , on any channel , on any network , in any language I wish .

I'm ready for it .
And , I'm hoping for a good one .

Well , aren't we in a happy little sunshiny mood today ?

It can't be all that bad , can it ?
Tell me why you're thinking such brown thoughts , dj .

[Bagwan]

So , dj , have you changed your mind about the season , or have you just forgotten why you said it was gonna be brown ?

F1 on free-to-air in Australia might also be summarized in four words: Ain't gonna be on.

Channel 10 have not confirmed if they are showing any races live in 2016. CEO Paul Anderson was on the radio tonight and was asked that question. He didn't give much of an answer.

Considering that Ferrari didn't start until 1939 and during the war... how was this possible?
