Join Damon Hill, Karun Chandhok and Motor Sport Grand Prix editor Mark Hughes for the 2019 Formula 1 Season Preview Evening in London
The 2019 Formula 1 season promises to be an intriguing one, with Lewis Hamilton defending his championship, Red Bull entering a new era with Honda and McLaren seeking redemption.
How will the new (and old) faces perform? Will Lewis best Fangio’s five world championships? How will the regulation changes affect the performance of the cars?
Join us as we preview the 2019 season in the company of 1996 F1 World Champion and Sky F1 pundit Damon Hill, former F1 driver and renowned Channel 4 (now Sky Sports F1) pundit Karun Chandhok, and Grand Prix editor Mark Hughes.
This fascinating panel will be chaired by features editor Simon Arron and takes place at the historic IET London: Savoy Place on Friday, March 8, 2019.
The evening begins with complimentary drinks in the Maxwell library, followed by the talk and Q&A in the Turing lecture theatre.
