Pre Season Testing being broadcast this year - earlier release date?!

Do does this mean that Codemasters will have earlier access to F1 cars  and hence a possible earlier release date for 2019?

I doubt it as they still need to put it all together and pre season testing don't forget is only really a couple of weeks or so before the first race anyway.

All valid points. Equally, absolutely nothing to stop them from using placeholders (inb4 licensing) until they finalize the liveries and car silhouette's. Even in August release we're stuck with liveries and cars that are 4 or 5 months out of synch with the championship.
