WE IN HERE! Can't wait to see the races this season.
Where will this air in the US?
ESPN for regular old broadcast and there will be an official F1 streaming service available in the US and some other countries TBA.

That figure is per power unit! (Engine elements: ICE = Internal Combustion Engine / TC = Turbo Charger / MGU-H = Motor Generator Unit - Heat / MGU-K = Motor Generator Unit - Kinetic / ES = Energy Store / CE = Control Electronics).
There are talks to further reduce costs from 2021 by possibly removing the MGU-H element from the power units.
It should be noted these numbers are rough estimates, it is extremely hard to find any concrete info on actual costs. Also worth noting is that some customer teams like Sauber will get an engine supply at a discount, essentially Sauber are a Ferrari B-Team, signing Ferrari junior academy driver Le Clerc for the upcoming season.
Worth noting that unless something has changed, ESPN is using the "world feed" in lieu of their own commentary team.
I'm not talking about it terms of WDC winner, I was talking about it being Mercedes and Ferrari being the only two that would be in contention and as a RBR fan that was in the middle of moving and starting my masters program, It didn't hold my interest.After 5 weeks last year the table was:
VET 68
HAM 61
BOT 38
RAI 34
After 5 races last year the table was:
VET 104
HAM 98
BOT 63
RAI 53
So yeah, I guess that stroll to victory by 5 time WDC Sebastian Vettel was pretty nailed on.
They spared us the torture of Eddie Cheever Jr. and Scott Goodyear.Good. NBCSN had Buxton, but was low budget. I've just been watching Sky broadcasts for years, which were far better with no commercials and extensive pre and post race coverage.
I can't wait for a streaming service.
The superlicense rules are pretty strict. No one can walk in as a pay driver or a lower series prodigy anymore without some kind of actual success in championships, and in most cases it takes 2-3 years of performing well to qualify.Interesting to see no open driver slots. I feel like there are always last minute spots open. Bummer about the halo, excited about everything else.
Aaahahahaha. Even if the cars are more even, it's going to take the next aero overhaul in a few years moving more to ground effects to change things. It doesn't help that the majority of the tracks have designs that make overtaking nearly impossible in these cars. That or pray that the tyre degradation is up massively and performance gaps between compounds are huge.
Yes, late last year, but with a few races to go still, so they were able to do a proper sendoff after the final race.
Funny that they implemented these rules because of Verstappen, probably the best driver to arrive on that grid since Lewis Hamilton, lol.The superlicense rules are pretty strict.

Raikkonen was pretty controversial when Sauber signed him too. Thankfully we have the stricter superlicence system now, so that only drivers like Stroll can get in and preserve F1's racing integrity.Funny that they implemented these rules because of Verstappen, probably the best driver to arrive on that grid since Lewis Hamilton, lol.

Indeed. Even Stroll has managed to not end up 100% horrible (when he's not crashing the car), but I think this is a good system. In order to instantly qualify you need to place top 3 in F2 (or win IndyCar, which I assume is the FIA trying to throw a bone to Americans). Even winning any of the F3 series isn't enough on its own and it effectively forces all but instant legendary drivers to spend at least 2 years in the advanced feeder series before entering F1.Funny that they implemented these rules because of Verstappen, probably the best driver to arrive on that grid since Lewis Hamilton, lol.
Wow, had no idea.
Yeah NBC wanted exclusive streaming rights for F1 which Formula 1 was not going to give. Since they were setting up their own OTT service for Formula 1.

Spoiler: Merc is gonna win in 19 and 20. See y'all in 2021!Subbed, good to be back.
Congrats to Mercedes and Hamilton.
See y'all in 2019!
Watch a bunch of videos from last year https://www.youtube.com/user/Formula1/playlistsF1 is one of those sports i want to get into but dont know where to start. It seems enjoyable to watch
Bottas = Freddie mercury's love child CONFIRMED!!!!
I can't wait for the cars that were designed with them in mind to be just as ugly.

Someone else mentioned it, but following their YouTube channel is a good idea, too. They have great videos on it that can ease you in a little.You just jump in and watch. It's a huge global series and stuff is explained frequently.
F1 also makes it hard to actually go back and watch their amazing history anyways.
Nowadays it's really quite decent. Quick highlight summaries of the sessions in a few minutes, track info, historical bits, interviews, quizzes with F1 personalities etc.Someone else mentioned it, but following their YouTube channel is a good idea, too.
