Well that definitely would be a good move for Toro Rosso if they do sign Albon. I think Nissan will be fine. But Formula E has a lot of good drivers. The quality of their fields is fantastic.

That's part of what makes it so fun to watch. That, and the cars were quite evenly matched last year. There were several fantastic battles between multiple cars from different teams in the last few laps. You'd never see anything like that in modern-day F1.

It's been almost 6 years since a team not named Mercedes, Red Bull, or Ferrari won. That was Raikkonen with Lotus in Australia during the season opener of 2013. I would love F1 if it had more competition, but it doesn't. Formula E has good compettion. I think it's far and away the most exciting open wheel series in the world.

I think IndyCar is more exciting still, but Formula E appears to be the future of all motorsports. And the drivers are extremely talented.

A few news and notes for today.
George Russell got the Williams seat because he was willing to sign a multiyear deal. Ocon on the other hand wants a 4 million dollar 1 year deal because he believes he will replace Bottas at Mercedes in 2020. Russell's engines from Mercedes will be free next year for Williams, George also does bring a little bit of private sponsorship to the team.
For the second seat at Williams it will likely be in descending order Kubica/Sirotkin (Ultimately it's a biding war between those two on who can bring more money to the team.), and then Ocon who only wants a 1 year deal and wants to be paid and brings no sponsorship whatsoever.
The second seat at Toro Rosso will likely be Alexander Albon who will jump ship from the Nissan e.dams Formula e team. I hope Nissan gets plenty of compensation and a top driver for Albon's betrayal.

These will be the 3 colors of the tires in 2019. The denomination in each race of the 3 compounds will be soft (red), medium (yellow) and hard (white), regardless of the compound that is (there will be 5/6 different ones)

Leaked possible layout for tomorrow's Vietnam Grand Prix announcement. It is located just on the outskirts of Hanoi in làng Phú Đô.

That looks awesome. It would certainly be a very fast track.

That looks awesome. It would certainly be a very fast track. Yeah I just realized the top portion is a lot like Suzuka with the esses and even a spoon like corner.
