5;10am is a tough call for real fans.

Hopefully it will be a race full of surprises and some really close racing. But I won’t be holding my breath.

Well I put a 5er on Max to win before testing started so I'm hoping for that, I'm expecting a Vettel win though realistically.

Tell me about it. I quite haven’t worked out my viewing arrangements but I’ll get it done somehow biggrin

I’m calling a Vettel win with a surprise showing for Sauber.

It's only free if you have a service (paid for) that carries Sky 1....

Otherwise it's £9/month. Far less unpalatable than £34/month Sky Sports costs.

Do we know how many of the races will be on Sky 1 ?

Need a bit more than a TV and license to watch Sky 1 so it's far from free is the point. It's only free to people that subscribe to a package that already has it.

Sky 1 comes free on NowTV, which has a 14 day free trial.

So you can watch it free if you like. HTH

Are Sky showing a full race rerun at a more civilised hour?

Just watch the Channel 4 highlights, you get a better commentary team too.

Can’t believe this has come around!

Looks like a Ferrari win is most likely, but no way of being sure that Vettel and Leclerc will behave. The signs point toward Ferrari being on point the first couple of races. I hope Mercedes get the car even early in the season.

I think Vettel will be so focussed on delivering this season; after having Hamilton trounce him over and over; SV might just put in the perfect performance. Or he might fold.

I want Leclerc to deliver straight away; but he seems like he’ll toe the line; and play support for Vettel. Shame.

CH must be seen by the teams board to be the right man for the job, and he's extremely passionate and ultimately honest at least. He's just... How do I say this nicely...

Imagine a large bell. He's the end part of that bell.

But his wife is very lovely so she must see another side smile

Obviously Dietrich Mateschitz and Helmut Marko saw his good side when he was barely 30-years old, and Horner possessed the skill to persuade Newey to come over to his dark side. He built up the remnants of Ford / Jaguars efforts in F1 and turned them into a 4-championship winning team.

So yes, apart from those blips and having a nice wife, he Is completely useless.
