Draft 2019 Formula 1 calendar announced

In terms of the number of races and circuits visited, the 2019 FIA Formula One World Championship is due to look almost identical to this year’s. Indeed, the only change to the running order concerns the events in the USA and Mexico, which have swapped places.

However, the season’s duration will be longer, as it’s timetabled to start a week earlier and finish a week later. That’s going to avoid the situation seen in 2018 where the French, Austrian and British rounds were held on three consecutive weekends.

As the plans have yet to be ratified by the FIA World Motor Sport Council, there could be some amendments before a final schedule is published.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

Image
The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
