I'd want Webber doing the grid walks. That could be fun.

It would indeed. I think they'd bounce off each other quite nicely.

No Aston Martin Racing this season.
According to chief operating officer Szafnauer while Aston Martin may opt to return to Formula 1 in the years to come, it won't be in 2016.
He told Autosport: "It probably won't happen for 2016, but we're still talking.
"It's flattering for a company like Aston to be talking to Force India, to want to partner with us and come into Formula 1, but the story isn't final there yet."
Explaining why the deal was on hold, he added: "They have a lot of initiatives and they're changing their line-up of cars.

What a shame. It would've been great to have that brand on the grid.
Also, Ferrari's former scapegoat Nikolas Tombazis is joining Manor as their Chief Aerodynamicist.

Seems a bit too late to do anything major to the 2016 car though.

Playing as Kimi is F1 2015 is a weird experience. XD
Is that a podium, or has MyclonicJerk just been playing?

A support series by Tesla would be great.

I don't support McLaren, and you're wrong, it was comedy hour on and off the track all season long there last year.
Without a doubt the must fun team in F1.
Webber is just a dull whinging Aussie like Stoner.
If this line up happens it'll be total Red Bull wankfest with a dash of Vettel potshotting with DC and Webber.
Coverage sponsored by Red Bull as well? lol
I just hope Guy Martin gets a C4 series based on F1.
Prost and Senna will play some fucking Forza Motorsport.

That is hilarious.
No one publishes good or significant news on a Friday.
How could I forget such an important rule. Ugh.

oh great prophet tell us how well will Max do next season
Less do-or-die overtakes due to not having a shit engine, maybe a podium or two if things go well.

He'll obviously be the runner up to the title, right after the Mercedes and Ferrari drivers.
Interesting that the only American race in there is Mexico.
EDIT: Not sure why Cooper points out Monaco isn't free-to-air - pretty sure it wasn't last year either..

Helmut Marko, trying to repair the relationship between Renault and Red Bull.
"For now Marko says Renault would best be served by putting their efforts behind Red Bull, who despite initially cancelling their contract with the company will run rebranded Renault engines in 2016.
The Red Bull advisor told Motorsport-Magazin.com: "When I look at the current Lotus team, which is now the Renault factory team, then they must, if they are in their right mind, put everything on us."
He added: "With that team and with those drivers they have practically nothing."

Oh, wait. So they're not covering all races either? I somehow completely forgot about that.

I edited in the rest. It's the same procedure as how the BBC did it. Except Channel 4 wised up and didn't pick Monaco.

Hopefully next year they'll leave out Spain too.

Renault's 2016 livery?
That looks to be a real article. Wasp F1 Team. I like it.
Spain is probably the last pick in the last round.

I can see why Sky like it - the prestige helps hook in people who would otherwise not watch F1. But it is a procession most of the time. Thank goodness Mercedes have tried to liven things up eh
Shots fired. (is that the right way to salvage the relationship with Renault though lol)
