Just a very quick Jot' about the major rule
Changes for the 2019 Formula 1 Season, for which per Tipicali, I'll let others
do thoust Heavy Lifting.
As you're probably aware of the main
Aerodynamic Tweaks to this year's F1 Chassis. Most notably the revised Front
Wings, coupled with revised Barge Boards and Rear Wings to Hopefully induce
easier Overtaking. but the Jury's still out upon this.
Not to mention having heard how Pirelli's
simplifying it's tyre compound choices this year...
Although I'm not certain that it is
simplified. Since although now we'll only have to be aware of three different
colour bands on those Pirelli "P-Zero" Performance tyres, i.e.;
White, Yellow and Red - for Hard, Medium and Soft.
Thars' actually five tyre compounds on-hand
for each race, albeit being graded from C1 thru C5. Which means that a Medium tire's
not necessarily a Medium tyre, i.e.; say a C2 vs. C3, Got It?
And lastly, the World Motor Sport Council's (WMSC)
just Rubber Stamped the FIA's Rules proposal of Liberty Media's request to
reintroduce awarding a single point for the Fastest Lap of the race, in order
to spice Up the show.
Hmm? Does that imply that Grands Prix are
Boring? And that this is an attempt to give thou Talking Headz' something to
Prattle On 'bout when we're watching another Formula 1 Road Train Snoozer'
race.
Although this single point, which will also
be awarded to said Driver's team, for their respective Constructors
Championship will only be awarded if the Driver finishes in the Top-10.
Also be aware, the
Chequered Flag now is solely a Symbolic gesture, for our benefit. As the actual
end of the race will be signaled via the Overhead lights system, a la race
starts...
