S19 - First Looks at C1

If my group surprised me with the Engine Choices, c1 had more surprises
for me. First of all 3 managers retired which includes Kostya. Mebbe
he wants to start back from c5 as Arus did sometime back. If thats not
enough, then the engine choice of Vlad was another shock. He is with
Yamahaha. Am i joking? ofcourse not..! The only reason i see behind
this is mebbe a busy work schedule for Vlad which forced him not to
login and select the Suppliers.
Well Leaving those aside, the current c1 squad(a reduce 27 member
which would be expanded anytime) selects Aodi for the Majority. 17
Managers stuck to Aodi while just 3 selected Mersedes. Others seem to
be saving. Tof made that very clear by selecting the Wolksvagen Engine
which is free. The Bugatits mite be a challenge while saving but I am
not sure about the Totoyas and Renualts seen in c1. Totoya mite be
challenging Aodis at a later stage, but will their Reliability let them
down. For Renualts, the Engine needs to have more power. By the time
they catch up with the Aodi, its almost Season End. So these are some
questions to be answered by the season.

The Engine Distribution in c1
Aodi 17
Mersedes 03
Bugatit 03
Renualt 02
Totoya 01
Yamahaha 01

Tyre Selection Pattern
Bridgestones 08
Goodyeah 12
Pipirelli 07

NavArus team is going with Bridges while the competitors RC, Eld are
with Goodyeahs. The Malaysian Brothers also selected Bridges which in
my opinion is an indication of their look at the Team Title,if not DC.
Anyway the TC is gonna change hands from Russia who had their
stranglehold on that for quite some seasons now.
