What is new in Formula 1 and why are you so weird FIA?
Hey everyone!
In this post, we will discuss other topics that we will encounter during the F1 2018 season! Only 50 days left for teams to become ready and participate in pre-season testings.
In our previous post, we talked about the changes within McLaren team, as they are starting to work with Renault, we also talked about the Halo as a introduction to increase the safety of the drivers. In this post we will mention about other regulations such as change in the quantity of the engines for the seasons, Aston Martin-Redbull association, and finally we will talk about Germany Grand Prix in Nurbugring.

As we discussed in our previous post, Alfa Romeo announced that they will have a partnership with Sauber for 2018 season. However, Alfa Romeo is not the only brand that planning to join the Formula 1 for the next season. Aston Martin is also announced that they are joining and starting an association with Redbull Racing team. Couple of days ago, they already revealed their new logo for the coming season.
I am so excited to see more brands in the Formula 1. Over the years, F1 lost so many precious teams; like Toyota, BMW, Jaguar, Honda, Lotus, and more. Even Aston Martin and Alfa Romeo is planning to work with other teams, there is still chance for them to start their own teams in couple of years like Mercedes AMG Team.
As another topic, we will talk about engines. Every year FIA decides weird rules for Formula 1. Last time, they decided to restrict the available number of engines each team can use during the season. Last year teams were not allowed to use more than 5 engines during the season, but if they had to use more than 5 engines due to technical issues, they got grid penalties as a consequence. This was the reason Fernando Alonso got so many grid penalties due to weakness of the Honda engine. This year, this number is going to be 3! Yes, I know it is so ridiculous.

FIA claims that this will help the environment by reducing the number of engines per season. Their intension was good but probably this is not the best way to this.
One another topic is about the return of Germany Grand Prix. Maybe some of you know that, its been a while since the last Germany Grand Prix. Honestly, Nurbugring is one of my favorite track in F1 history, especially the old Track that has Nurburg Castle. Definitely, I would like to see it in the F1 again so I can go there to enjoy the race and take a lap in the old track! :D
Finally, I would like to say that I am dedicating this post to Legendary Michael Schumacher! Yesterday was his 49th birthday and also its been 4 years since his ski accident. I wish him my good hopes and we would like to see him recovered!

Will do! It is always good to go back and enjoy the old races!

Hey @raceoff that could be possible of course! Since Redbull had trouble for couple of years, they called Arian Newey to F1 branch. He was the one who designed Redbull cars and bring championship to Redbull with Sebastian Vettel for 4 years!
