The BBC’s Formula 1 news page has got a link up for fans to follow the release schedule of all the 2016 F1 car launches. Sean Smith reports.
Despite their losing their TV coverage for 2016, the BBC is still firmly covering the sport via their radio coverage and online. We at SJB have noticed they finally have put up a news item on their homepage showing the key dates for all the F1 teams car launches as well as the testing schedule.
The launches recently haven’t been as luxurious and exciting as the used to be back in the 2000s but Ferrari, at least, always put on a show often with live coverage on their own website showing the car launch in Marenello. Other teams may still be doing the same, but even if not this site will help anyone interested in the key dates keep track and be able to see the new cars on release day.
