I thought there was. But I can't find it.
Nothing pops up (for 2023) when I search "Formula" and "F1" is "too short".

In any case, I was just trying to post the reveal dates of the teams (and drivers for this season) this coming Feb:

Red Bull - February 3
Max Verstappen - #1
Sergio Perez - #11

Williams - February 6 (season launch)
Logan Sargeant - #2
Alex Albon - #23

AlphaTauri - February 11
Yuki Tsunoda - #22
Nyck de Vries - TBd

Aston Martin - February 13
Fernando Alonso - #14
Lance Stroll - #18

McLaren - February 13
Lando Norris - #4
Oscar Piastri - #81

Ferrari - February 14
Charles Leclerc - #16
Carlos Sainz - #55

Mercedes - February 15
Lewis Hamilton - #44
George Russell - #63

Alpine - February 16
Pierre Gasly - #10
Esteban Ocon - #31

Haas - TBD
Kevin Magnussen - #20
Nico Hulkenberg - #27

Alfa Romeo - TBD
Zhou Guanyu - #24
Valtteri Bottas - #77

Best bang for the buck.

Is it? Middle of last season, I lost ESPN, so I'm considering going the F1 TV route.
Rarely do I get to watch the races live. They are either on in the middle of the night, or around mid-morning when I'm already busy with life.
But the only time I end up watching races is on the off chance I can actually catch it live. Or I'll throw it on in the background.
What I'm getting at, is that I'm not sure I want to pay for the "live" version, when I hardly watch them. But I'm not sure I'll really re-watch after the fact.

Less than a quid per race this year! Timing screens (*), performance analysis, commentary, video stuff.

(*) Six devices allowed so a different page on each one 😀

So let's hope Jenny Gow recovers soon and is back strolling the pit lane with the phone numbers of all the team principals on her speed-dial. GWS Jenny.

You don’t have to watch live. And when you decide to watch, you can either watch the entire race or a condensed version. There are old archived races, your choice of two commentator feeds or you can hop in with any driver and switch at your convenience. And you can even watch on your smart phone. Try it out! @MRC the six devices must be an amazing experience. I must give that a try!

Rumor is Lewis is being offered 70 million quid per year on his contract extension, good on him for getting the bag but wow, what a bag that is!

Totes agree.

The added content is great. Race analysis, tech programs, archived races, etc. etc.

I always joke with my other racing fan friends that there are some people who make more money than we can ever dream of making all while traveling the world and getting paid to do something that WE pay to experience. Whether that be going to the local kart track, or just buying tickets to races.
So imagine getting paid millions, to do something that you would likely pay a lot of money yourself to do otherwise lol.
Sort of blows my mind. But good for them!

But for us, we do it for fun with no pressure. For them getting paid, it's a really high paying job that's not always fun.

So I guess HAAS was first? Unless this is just going to be a testing livery...
