Just renewed my SKY F1 package, was thinking of using the "now tv" weekend pass with so much uncertainty about races, but only £15 (per month) with Virgin instead of £30 last year, happy days.
So
*the quest for seven* begins, come on Lewis!!!
May the best man win.

AMuS:
Red Bull has questioned the legality of Mercedes' rear brake ducts. FIA reacted by sending out a new Technical Directive (TD 014/20) to clarify what's allowed. It forces Mercedes to make modifications to avoid trouble at Melbourne.

And the crying continues even before a wheel is turned in anger....
Helmut Marko: "For us, the DAS system isn't according to the rules. So we will protest if Mercedes uses the system in Melbourne."
Renault is preparing a protest against Racing Point using so many Mercedes parts & systems. "Mercedes customer Racing Point copied the Mercedes from 2019 more than allowed. Background: Certain parts may be bought and used by other teams. Copying aerodynamic parts 1: 1 is forbidden. But that is exactly what the team of the Canadian billionaire Lawrence Stroll did"

I personally think the F1 WDC and WCC should be decided by the lawyers. That'd be far more fun. We could watch months and months of tedio... sorry, exhilarating court room battles over the technical meaning of the word "twat" and whether or not it applies to Helmut Marko. Bring back Arrivabene, I miss his insults towards Marko. It's utterly stupid.

Also apparently the rear brake duct isn't necessarily a brake duct. There's a spilt inside the "well" and Mercedes, and Ferrari who have something similar apparently aren't saying what it is for... my guess is it's aero component for rear stability. Fun and games hey.

CEO of Victoria Tourism says that as they are "already reeling under the weight of bushfires and now the coronavirus, we can hardly afford either the reputational or economic damage that would come from a cancelled or downscaled Grand Prix."
