2018 season F1 will be unveiled on March 25th. Chinese car fans are looking forward to the good news that has been waiting for the whole winter and are coming with the pace of spring. F1 in the 2018 season has been confirmed to be listed on three major platforms: CCTV, Five-Star Sports and Tencent Sports . CCTV Sports Channel (CCTV5) will restart the live broadcast of the F1 season after five years. The opening match of Australia and the third stop of the Chinese Grand Prix will definitely be launched on CCTV5, while other sub-station events will be broadcast on the high-definition channel CCTV5+. A public program trailer for CCTV5 has released live broadcast information on the 2018 season's opening match of the Australian Grand Prix on March 25.
The industry's rumors that "five-star sports will no longer broadcast F1 events" have also been falsified. The 2018 season of Shanghai TV Sports Channel Five Star Sports, which started live broadcasting F1 in 2002, will continue to live broadcast the qualifying and main competitions of the 21 F1 Grand Prixes throughout the year. The explosive sports channel , which is facing the whole country, will also have live broadcast of events. Tencent Sports has also announced internally that it will broadcast the 2018 F1 event live, and the event production and broadcasting team will be completely consistent with NBA and other events. After listening to the broadcast, the most popular drivers and the race also received new news. The eighth day of the pre-season test drive of 2018F1 is held in Barcelona on the last day. Ferrari team Raikkonen leads the lap list with 1 minute 17 seconds 221. McLaren team Alonso ranked second in lap speed, but McLaren encountered reliability problems again that day, and the turbocharger failure of the Renault engine caused the team to spend five hours replacing the engine. Ten minutes into the countdown, Alonso made a lap and lap behind the top spot by 0.563 seconds and rose to the second seat. Alonso's subsequent lap speed once rose to the top, but the lap speed was invalid due to violations in cornering. Despite this, McLaren has proven that the new car has excellent single lap strength. Renault team Sainz ranked third in lap speed. He encountered racing transmission failure in the test. The fastest lap in the top three laps are all the softest tires.
This is also a good story for Chinese car fans. Before CCTV stopped broadcasting, the ones that Chinese car fans loved the most were old drivers such as Raikkonen. Unexpectedly, after so long, he was still him in a blink of an eye.
