Pretty sure the anti syphoning laws prevent it from being shown on pay tellie without it going out on fta.

The agreement announced last year was a 5yr deal which included specifically Aussie GP live.

Thank god for that

[JAS-25T]

Just to be clear, it's not news, just me googling at news from Feb last year.

Kevin is replacing pastor!!!!

[Missileman]

...dam just as he is starting to learn how to avoid collisions.

Poor Pastor...how can someone be fast and hopelessly pathetic all at once

[tweety bird]

It's confirmed!!!

[hrd-hr30]

booo

KMag is slow and boring. Pastor is fast and a little erratic. I know who I'd rather watch!

[dori34]

so glad he's gone, if only it was 2 years ago. all his crashes did Lotus no good.

[89CAL]

All his money did them good but

[dori34]

They'll probably change it before the season starts as black cars do not show well on the telecasts.

Yeh..i suspect test colours and will do a flip for Melb

Gutted F1 is without Lorus again...i understand the heritage wasnt really there but people recognised the hustory of the name and recognition it commanded and chose to at least keep the great name alive.

Will go back to holding my breath that some loaded chap wants to bring the name Tyrrell back

[89CAL]

I like it, but I think I read somewhere that it is indeed just a pre-season livery.

Will miss the black and gold Lotus colours thats for sure

Black and Gold were not Lotus colours really. British Racing Green and yellow were. The Black and gold livery was cigarette companies colours, same as the blue and yellow that nobody remembers.

Never really cared for the corporate bankers/capitalists trying to claim the Lotus heritage. They could have had it for $2 back in 1994 but no one wanted it then. So they pay millions for it years after it has lost most of its value. Was happy enough with the Toleman/Benetton/Renault lineage. Don't forget this was the team that gave Derrick Warwick (A former Renault factory driver too, by the way) and some bloke called Senna a break. Plus Johnny Cecotto drove for them if you wanted to follow a Venezuelan.

BTW, best driver combination ever: Johnny ChookLotto and Gianfranco BrokenTellie, Bathurst 1987.

Alrighty, didnt get involved at all last year and was bored by F1, but new season and another chance. Hopefully some more competitive racing to be seen.

[89CAL]

Everyone has probably already seen it, but anyway

RBR 2016 Livery, (2015 car)

I think it looks really good

[Kinks]

Wow, their expressions perfectly sum up how I feel about this season, too
