That along with the change in regs there is no guarantee that Mercedes will be at the front of the pack.
Feel sorry for Russell, Hamilton has been declared fit, he's going to be screaming in the helmet tomorrow when the Williams won't do what the Mercedes did.

There was an item on Autosport that covered it, but basically the F1 circus is in a biosphere - travelled as a group and six hotels specially allocated to them plus another hotel for the track workers. All had to be tested before leaving Bahrain and again at Abu Dhabi.
Hamilton completed his quarrantine in Bahrain and tested negative so is free to race this weekend.

Very true, but how much would you bet against it...?

The e-mail applied to those in the F1 circus.
He tested positive two days after, seven days isolation, followed by a requirement to return four negative tests. That's thirteen days in total, minimum. Race on Sunday will be twelve days after, one day short.

Many’s the time the pre-season testing has raised false hopes. But yes, I’m ready to get on with this season.

Sadly I won’t be watching live.
Just heard an advert for Sky F1.
£18 a month on top of your Sky subscription. Who would pay that for two races a month?

Once Sky's contract finishes we are likely to have to use F1 TV which is about £60 for the year. Unfortunately sky paid a billion for exclusive screening rights in the UK (they have a contract in Germany too) until 2024. No wonder it's pricey - they are trying to make back the investment!

Just looked they have Jolyon Palmer that's enough on it's own for me not to be interested, even if it was free

I’m lucky that when I first took out Sky+ HD the F1 channel was bundled in, and many years later I still have it.
To be accurate though, you get all F1 coverage; pre-season testing, practice sessions, qualifying and the races, not to mention the other stuff (interviews, behind the scenes, analysis etc). You also get the support races and other stuff like IndyCar. Whether this interests you is your call.

At 62, I've avidly watched F1 for as long as I can remember. But I just cannot get excited about it any more, Mercedes have killed it and if Porsche did join in, i think it would get worse, not better. I will watch but with a grudging eye. It's a pretty pitiful spectacle compared to times gone by.
