Renault just bought back their F1 team from Genii capital for $1.50. Also paying 4 mil in taxes to Uk govt and assuming about 200 mil worth of debt.
Ferrari splits from FiatChrysler.
Good start.

heard the rumours but missed the official announcement from BBC (just before Christmas) that they're dropping F1 coverage :/
'Channel 4' is taking over, and they've already contracted David Coulthard
I wonder what this means for TSN coverage now? their coverage sucks as is, but at least they still gave us a little pip during commercials. Channel 4 has commercials, although i'm not sure if they'll make changes for F1 now?
I'd prefer TSN uses the feed from a broadcaster with commercials. That way, the director will have some say on timing of the commercials and they show replays of anything that happened during the commercial break.
The split screen drives me nuts. A good idea that TSN executes poorly.

I fucking HATE the split screen shit TSN does.

That being said, I really like Sky's pre/post race features, I wish we got more of that.
Sky's pre/post race features are top-notch. Coulthard nudges above Brundle in my books, so I'm glad they're keeping Coulthard on board
I think we'll see another Merc dominant year again with Ferrari being closer, but not quite there again. Looks like it will be an exciting year throughout the field with all the engine changing, new teams, and driver swaps!!
This make my mind hurt, it could spice things up a bit I guess.

So Channel 4 is only going to broadcast 10 races Live, the rest go to SKY
So I wonder what that means for us here with TSN :/
Are we going to get the Sky stream, or are we just going to see the race with no commentary?

FYI Maldonado doesn't have a seat in 2016, his sponsors missed the payment deadline, it was rumoured to be so recently, and the other day Maldonado confirmed it
and today it was officially announced that Kevin Magnussen has replaced Pastor
Renault has finally confirmed that Kevin Magnussen will be joining its new works team in Formula 1 this year.
The Dane is to replace Pastor Maldonado, whose contract with the team was terminated following payment issues with his long-time backers PDVSA.
Although Magnussen was agreed at the weekend, as Motorsport.com first reported, Renault preferred to wait until an official team launch in Paris on Wednesday to make its line-up official.
Magnussen, who will race alongside Jolyon Palmer, returns to F1 after a season as McLaren reserve driver.
The Dane, who scored an impressive podium finish on his debut with the team in 2014, had initially focused his efforts on a race return with Haas for 2016 but was beaten to that seat by Romain Grosjean.
GP3 champion Esteban Ocon, previously a Mercedes junior, has also been confirmed as the team's third driver.Renault has finally confirmed that Kevin Magnussen will be joining its new works team in Formula 1 this year.

Looks like Merc will be out ahead again with Ferrari nipping at their heels. I'm really excited to see how Torro Rosso starts the year as they look to have one of the stronger packages and driver lineups!
