Even Brazil is Sky only, the chances are we wont see the championship winning race on CH4.

They do seem to be good at hiring staff though.
Nick Tombasiz and then Pat Fry both hired recently.
They must be getting cash from somewhere, its either a pay driver anew headline sponsor or the budget fairy. For their sake I hope it's not the budget fairy.
Did anyone ever read anything about why Booth and Louden left Manor anyway... Always seemed odd to me the way they left after they dragged the phoenix out of the ashes.

Kevin Magnussen set to replace Pastor Maldonado at Renault maybe F1 will have less on track accidents if this happens.

Red Bull launch new look for 2016
http://www.skysports.com/f1/news/124...sed-car-livery
It looks pretty nice in my opinion.

Re: 2016 Formula 1 Season Thread
It does, that's the bit I like most, seeing the livery on each car each season.

Re: 2016 Formula 1 Season Thread
Be interesting to see how the matt look comes over on TV. I noticed a distinct lack of other sponsors as well.

I'm more interested in the car design than the livery. Nice colours cannot hide a bad car after all.
We wont see these designs until Monday and I can't wait.
Also, I think the new RBR looks horrible, but that's just me! :P

Re: 2016 Formula 1 Season Thread
Was looking to see if Red Bull had an engine yet, I see they now have Tag Heuer as a sponsor for their Renault engines.
Just wondering what Manor will be able to do with the Mercedes engine - will it propel them to the middle ranks, if it's still the one to beat, compared to the weird situation with Red Bull, having to use a rebranded Renault after they were dismissive of them.
McLaren, in the second season with the Honda engine... will it now be a marriage made in heaven, the difficulties ironed out, or will they see the Manor-Mercedes putting the moves on them.
