FORMULA 1 FOR 2019

Formula One is the place to go for racing sports. It is the highest class of single-seater auto racing, where the wealthy and highly-skilled converge to make racing history. With Lewis Hamilton hoping to upgrade his title of ‘Five-Time Formula One World Champion’ to ‘Six-Time‘, there’s every reason to get excited for this year’s Formula One; it’s anyone’s guess as to who will come out on top this year. Here’s a look at the dates for each Grand Prix this year, including some of our favourite destinations. 2006 Formula One Grand Prix car smoking its super slick tires.

Last year, the Australian Grand Prix got off to a tense start with Hamilton being superseded by the popular challenger, Sebastian Vettel. The initial race in F1 often sets the tone for the following races, so it can be one of the most exciting races to attend for new and true fans alike. Here’s the rest of the Spring line-up: SPRING March 15-17: Australian Grand Prix, Melbourne March 29-31: Bahrain Grand Prix, Sakhir April 12-14: Chinese Grand Prix, Shanghai April 26-28: Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Baku May 10-12: Spanish Grand Prix, Barcelona May 23-26: Monaco Grand Prix June 7-9: Canadian Grand Prix, Montreal If you’re new to the fast-paced world of F1, we recommend that you choose the races in locations that you will want to visit. For glitz and glamour, we recommend the Monaco Grand Prix; however, those interested in the more technical side of F1 may wish to avoid the Monaco GP, following the criticism of Hamilton and Alonso, who referred to it as ‘the most boring’ of the races, due to the limited chances for overtaking on the course. On the other hand, many fans consider the chicane at Monaco to be one of the most dangerous sections of track in modern F1 racing. SUMMER June 21-23: French Grand Prix, Le Castellet June 28-30: Austrian Grand Prix, Red Bull Ring July 12-14: British Grand Prix, Silverstone July 26-28: German Grand Prix, Hockenheimring August 2-4: Hungarian Grand Prix, Hungaroring August 30- September 1: Belgian Grand Prix, Spa Francorchamps September 6-8: Italian Grand Prix, Monza September 20-22: Singapore Grand Prix, Marina Bay Summer sees the Grand Prix coming to Britain, so if you suffer from travel sickness, Silverstone race course is the perfect chance for you to get involved in the Formula One fun. The official Silverstone homepage encourages F1 fans to make the most this British racecourse: ‘2019 could be the last year you will witness Formula One history being made at the Home of British Motorsport. 2018 saw one of the most dramatic races on the calendar so far, with a crash on the first lap.’ – Silverstone.

AUTUMN September 27-29: Russian Grand Prix, Sochi October 11-13: Japanese Grand Prix, Suzuka October 25-27: Mexican Grand Prix, Mexico City November 1-3: United States Grand Prix, Austin November 15-17: Brazilian Grand Prix, Interlagos November 29-December 1: Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Yas Marina If you were to choose any one of the Autumn races, the obvious pick would be to travel to Abu Dhabi for what we hope will be an amazing finale. On the other hand, if it seems fairly decided in the points who the winner is likely to be, then the finale might feel a little lacklustre compared to the races immediately preceding it, where all is still to play for. Use of Nitrogen in Motorsports In motorsports, every aspect of the car can affect the driver’s potential to win. As well as choosing aerodynamic vehicles, those competing in motorsports must think very carefully about their tyres’ inflation. Many people wonder why race cars use nitrogen instead of air in their tyres, but the reasons are perfectly simple; nitrogen has a far more consistent expansion rate, which is important considering that both the track and tyres will vary in temperature during the race. The science behind this fact is down to the moisture typically found in air-inflated tyres. This moisture is what leads to inconsistent pressure fluctuations in driving, which could be fatal for drivers travelling at high speeds. Reducing these variations in tyre pressure is one way in which engineers can help the drivers to race in their best form. If you are in the motorsports industry and thinking about changing gas suppliers, we sell gas for motorsports, including nitrogen cylinders.
