Seriously? Is Racing Point the Best Yuhs can come
up with?
Oh Goodie', it's that time again, Yuhs know
that New Car smell, when we get to Kick Duh Tyres and listen to every team's
overly Annoying Optimism...
As the Formula 1 Circus reveal Thar 2019
Formula 1 challengers in earnest this week in the lead-up to the First F1
Winter Test in Barcelona, commencing February 18th.
As I'm still awaiting confirmation by some
"Authoritative" source that Racing Point F1 Team is really the new
moniker of the old Force India F1 Team? Since per Tipicali, thou
"Intra-woods" is Chock-O'Block with old and misleading news upon thou
subject.
Although after initially finishing this story, word
comes from Race Fans that the new names are now official...
As the Lawrence Welk, and Ah One and Ah Two;
Err Stroll led outfit will appropriately launch Thar 2019 F1 Challenger Up

Meanwhile, it's at least known that Racing
Point F1 or whatever? Has landed a new title sponsor named Sportspesa, netting
a reported $18m payoff to Thar coffers.
And on the Heels of Force India's Name
Change, now comes word that one of the remaining iconic F1 Privateer's Names
will disappear from the Formula 1 landscape. As Sauber will become Alfa Romeo
Racing for 2019, and will roll out their new car the morning of Feb 18th in
Barcelona, leaving Team Willy', nee Williams F1 the last car to turn up for
pre-season testing.
But will the
Sauber; Err Alfa Romeo chassis still carry the C "prefix" designation
utilized on every Sauber chassis, i.e.; C37 for last year's car? As seem to
recall that the C stood for Peter Sauber's wife Christiane...
