Not sure it will change much other than the current awful colour scheme on the Sauber but its always good to have another name in F1 i guess??

Keep up! The Honda deal was binned months back and a partnership with Ferrari was confirmed. That Ferrari will now be badged an Alfa deal and I expect goes much further.Well, it's good that Fiat/Ferrari are propping them up, but a weird time considering they're about to ditch the Ferrari engines. Maybe Ferrari see this as a way to get some additional engine data from another provider, even if it is the Honda.
I thought the 2017 livery was excellent, but it didn't come across especially well on TV.
They're moving from a 2016 Ferrari engine to a 2018 Ferrari engine, and who knows if other bits will be shared too (gearboxes and other drive train components, suspension etc). I fully expect the drivers will have full access to the Ferrari simulator too, given they're both likely to be Ferrari junior drivers.
Leclerc ought to be an upgrade on Wehrlein and Ericsson too, neither of who were terrible to be fair (as traditional pay drivers go Ericsson was half decent). Leclerc is setting records everywhere at the moment. Probably the most exciting driver to come into F1 since Hamilton.
They're not going to jump up behind the big 3 (or 5 if McLaren and possibly Renault bring the expected leap), but they should be further up the field than they were this season, probably troubling Williams and perhaps even Force India on occasion. They will regularly beat Toro Rosso and probably Haas too.
Eh? Sauber are running 2018 Ferrari engines next year. The Honda deal went out with the lady team boss.

Looks like Kubica will be back with Williams next year, will be glad to see him on the grid again. But I wish he had a better benchmark than Stroll to properly assess him.
Kubica's already gone quicker in testing than Stroll did in Qualifying, so probably could go quicker still with lighter fuel load and full engine mode.
So sad to see mclaughlin pingedThat V8 Supercars finale was the best race I’ve seen in a long time. If you’re a tin-top fan get it watched
I'd put that in spoiler tags if I were youSPOILER

I am not a Sky subscriber and therefore missed this short documentary first time round. I remember Steve Ryder making a BBC documentary of Senna back in 1994. Years later watching Steve Ryder now interview Prost was very insightful.
The Senna movie is undeniably a great watch, but heavily cast Alain as the main villain. They were both culpable in the events which followed.
The fateful '94 weekend with pressure to claw back points, the sad death of Roland Ratzenburger and questioning the legality of the Benetton all combined contributory factors. Similar to Gilles years before, raw mixed emotions, over driving was probably one of the main contributory factors.
Interesting and clearly the emotions are clear in this interview and remain raw. Prost describing Senna as 'different'.
