So they're taking up Force India's role this year then...
That would require them to:
1. Invest actual money into the car past the first race.
2. Be a sympathetic team you want to see on the podium.
Neither of which are likely to happen.
Doesn't make sense to spend one of your live races on one which is broadcast at 4/5 am.
Not having Canada on there is criminal though.

Not having either of the North American races or Brazil is a bit of a bummer, as the highlights for those will be annoyingly late on a Sunday night.
Although on the bright side, I might have completely lost interest by then anyway.

Lol. That red bull allow him to keep opening his mouth to the press continues to astonish.
"I know we tried to cancel our contract and slagged them off all year but now that were stuck with them but still aren't going to give them any credit, they should focus entirety on us, because their team is a shit show".
Will this be Ferrari type revolution? Like promising ground breaking stuff and then failing hard?
GOD YES
I love their yellow livery, please bring it back.
Reminds me of my favourite livery, Renault 2010
Yup. You can tell he was a Schumacher fan growing up.
Hopefully an evolution of their race strategy as well.

I think the Canadian GP clashes with one of England's Euro 2016 games? The race will get awful ratings.
Motorsport.com - F1's manufacturers have agreed to bring down engine supply costs, and guarantee no team is left without power units, in exchange for keeping current V6 turbos until at least 2020
As expected but at least they're focusing on the important stuff:
Motorsport.com - Although some ideas - like reverse grids and refuelling - did not get much support, other tweaks did get backing and could come in to force as early as this year.
Motorsport.com understands that one idea that will now be worked on is for fans to choose stand out performances through social media after each race for drivers to be presented with trophies.
It is believed that two awards are being considered: one for the best driver performance and one for the best overtaking move.

That's all well and good, but how can people actually *watch* the races?

Williams considering a switch to Honda in 2017 according Sport Bild.
Mercs time is up, Honda domination is coming.

Barring significant evidence to the contrary, I'm going to chalk this up as a deliberate leak by Williams to try and give them a stronger negotiating position to renew their deal with Mercedes.
It'll be really interesting to see if Honda has managed to solve its issues over the winter. If so, I could see those rumors being true. It's not like Honda (or Renault) don't know how to build engines. The development and testing restrictions just make it an overly tough job.

The problem for them is that the shortened pre-season tests this year really doesn't help anyone to catch up.

The cars are being announced at the end of February. Only McLaren have announced a formal date. 25th, I think.

Wonderboy to win 42 awards.
Realistically I don't think it would make any difference. McLaren are Honda's works partner, they get the same benefits that Ferrari and Mercedes get ie. best spec engine, early upgrades etc.
Short of a dramatic breakdown in the McLaren/Honda relationship they would get the same or similar customer relation with Honda to which they already have with Merc.

Hamilton keeps uploading clips of him playing with tigers on Facebook. I'm waiting from him to buy one and name it Ron or for one of them to attack him.
If, a very big if Honda puts out a superior power unit, a second team could capitalize on it while McLaren is off being McLaren.
I don't see the same thing happening with Mercedes again or Ferrari. They're both on the ball enough to always keep an advantage to a b spec team.

Red Bull announced that they're going to announce their new 2016 livery at an event on February 17.

So the European GP already feels the need to confirm the race before it even begins:

Hopefully it's quickly gone from the calendar.
