The premises were different: the tests carried out in February in Barcelona had shown a Ferrari in great shape and a Mercedes in great difficulty in the management of the tires. Unfortunately, it was just a flash in the pan: since the first race in Australia, the Silver Arrows showed a higher potential than the Red ones and that they could easily win the Formula 1 World Championship.
Now that we’re halfway through the season, it’s possible to draw the first conclusions: Mercedes seems unbeatable. Too much the advantage on Ferrari and Red Bull, appeared in great difficulty and without any weapon to contrast the power of the German house. Having completely changed the approach to the development of the car does not seem to have brought the desired results and Maranello are wondering what went wrong. The Silver Arrows exploit the tires better, they don’t have aerodynamic problems and they are faster in the corners. Ferrari seems to have a better engine, but it’s not enough to win a world championship.
The 2019 Formula 1 television rights have been purchased by Sky, which will broadcast the 21 Grand Prix live on its channels (SkySport Uno and SkySport F1). For those who do not have a subscription to the satellite platform there is the possibility to watch Formula 1 free to air on TV8, a digital terrestrial channel. TV8 will broadcast the 21 grand prix, but only four of them live (the remaining seventeen will be broadcast on a deferred basis). RAI has also managed to win the transmission of a Grand Prix. Like last year, the State TV will broadcast live the Italian GP (September 8, 2019). Here’s how to watch Formula 1 2019 live streaming for free.
