Dark Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 A new year is opening and Formula 1 will begin activities in February and the season in mid-March. We leave five news or events that are expected for this 2019, in the highest category of motorsport. This year concludes the contract of CIE (promoter that brought F1 back to Mexico) with Liberty Media. It has transpired in the media that the Mexican authorities, both private and government, have until the last day of February to negotiate the preferential contract - Mexico wants its GP at the end of October. Failure to comply with this limit would put the country on a list of possible candidates seeking a Formula 1 race. important news come for the American country in the coming days ...The Spanish driver, twice world champion (in 2005 and 2006), leaves the highest category of motorsport. The Asturian arrived in 2001 with Minardi; the following year he was a tester for Renault and in 2003 he made his debut with the French. Since then he was one of the main faces of the serial and now he is in search of the Triple Crown, which lacks the Indy 500 trophy - he already has the 24 hours of Le Mans and the one of the Monaco GP. Carlos Sainz Jr takes the place that Alonso left vacant and the young Lando Norris replaces Stoffel Vandoorne. Another young man who will make his debut next year is George Russell, who will celebrate with the charismatic Robert Kubica; Lance Stroll moves from Williams to Racing Point (formerly Force India) with Sergio Pérez. Finally, Sauber lets go to Marcus Ericsson and promotes Antonio Giovinazzi - returns an Italian to F1 - and will team with Kimi Raikkonen, who debuted with the Hinwill in 2001. Charles Leclerc will be at Ferrari with Sebastian Vettel. Rumor: McLaren would announce the addition of James Key (Toro Rosso), to help with the developments in 2019, but he would be the father (designer) of the 2020 creature. Speaking of new designs: in 2019 the cars will be renewed with the intention of providing more and better battles on the track. The problem is to follow the car ahead in the corners (especially in the medium and high speed), due to the turbulence of the 'dirty air' that takes the pursuer. To try to solve it, the technical equipment of the F1 - led by Ross Brawn - prompted changes in the front wing, the brake system, wheels, pontoons and rear wing. In general, aerodynamic elements are simplified and reduced with the intention that cars are pursued more closely. 1
