I’d rather have old formula as F1 returns
is back! Nico Rosberg isn’t back, he’s on a yacht somewhere making a scale-model origami pit-lane out of all his money. But that’s okay, because it means that in 2017 017 there will be a new world champion from Mercede… erm, a new world champion!
The first race, live on Sunday morning, is the Australian Grand Prix (Sky Sports F1, 6am) — and d it’ll look very different fromom last year. Cars are wider, with much larger tyres and redesigned back wings, which will make them faster and harder to drive. Lap THE Six Nations is done and dusted but with the 2017 Lions squad announced in less than a month, the TV Guide’s rugby mania is just getting going. There are three rounds of
Aviva Premiership and Guinness Pro12 games before Warren Gatland announces his squad, so for those on the fringes it’s time to drink up or go to bed — a feeling the TV Guide knows only too well.
The pick of the matches this weekend are tomorrow’s fixtures of Northampton
Saints v Leicester Tigers
(BT Sport 1, 3pm) and
Leinster v Cardiff Blues (Sky Sports 2, 3pm), while on Sunday it’s Saracens v Bath
(BT Sport 1, 3pm).
Leinster are gunning to stay top of the Pro12 champ championship table, while Saints, Leicester, Sar Saracens and Bath are all in the mix for Pr Premiership play-off pl places.
Th The TV Guide is so ex excited it could cry, alth although it usually save saves that for the middle of the night when the demonsdemo come. But still. You see our point. times are expected to drop by as much as four-to-five seconds on some circuits and, according to
Red Bull boss Christian Horner, that memeans drivers are going to find it much harder to overtakeov this year.
Wait, what? Yes, harder tot overtake. According to Horner,H that’s probably a goodg thing, because no oneo wants to see drivers zippingzip past each other, jostlingjostl for position and creating drama, tension or excitement, do they? That’s the old Formula One you’re thinking of. Forget about that one. It’s over.
