Front looks really interesting and different. 

 

The noses are looking really slim this year. The Red Bull has a really skinny one too. I also can't get over how small the air intakes are across all of them these days.

[Dudley]

I'm impressed at the professionalism that means they've missed out major sponsors in some of their images.

This years cars are completely schizophrenic; Clean, sharp, uncluttered rear half, and then a front with more scaffolding than the average loft extension.

Ferrari went all out with their launch

Not a huge fan of the red sponsor design. Also, look at the size of those fins up each side of the nose!

Shady petrochemicals producer, up there with fag money in reality, a perfect fit for F1.

The owners an utter cunt if I remember correctly.

[mexos]

WOW. The torro tauri looks amazing.

The Alfa looks better than the Alpha.

[Dudley]

We haven't seen the Alfa livery yet.

Not if it looks anything like last years shitbox.

It's better, it would have been virtually impossible for it not to be.

 

That number feels like it should be illegal though, it's basically impossible to read.

I just did a little sex wee.

 

Also: Williams officially have the best livery. Who would have thought it.

[wev]

Yeah I really like that Williams, it's between that and the Torro Rossi, I definetly prefer last year's McLaren

[marsh]

Is using last years car allowed? It's got a whiff of 'we've run out of money' about it.

They're not using last year's car. They just haven't made any fundamental concept changes, this is true of most teams this year.

 

That said, yes it's entirely allowed if the rules haven't changed and used to be a hell of a lot more commonplace.

I see SportPesa fucked off.  That's one hell of a title sponsor logo.

I'm sure it'll be ready in time, but there sure seems like a lot of work to be done at the Zandvoort circuit over the next 2 months. Quite interesting to see how it's coming along anyway.

To be fair, if they don't finish it, they can put all the cars in a Tesco car park and have the same amount of overtaking.

They’d sell just as many tickets too providing it’s in the same country...

[mexos]

I wonder how many events will get cancelled this year. Vietnam night just survive as it’s early and they don’t have too many cases yet. Maybe Japan and Singapore will be ok too because they are late in the year. Hope so.

[wev]

It's a shame that Renault have confirmed that the car they've run today is only in a testing livery and that they'd be "back to normal colours" as it looks really good in all black.

[Dudley]

They are so embarrassed that they did a livery launch with last years car and hoped noone would notice the difference. Still, seemed pretty quick yesterday.

 

I watched most of Sky's coverage yesterday. It was pretty good. They had the whole team there bar Brundle plus the GP2 team. I was releived to see mr. Kravitz present and accounted for after last year's fiasco. They did some good analysis of the new cars and the changes. 

 

Was nice to see the Williams being the first onto the track as well.

 

And there was no red flag! Not one! For the whole first day of testing.

Yeah. Magnussen was in the car yesterday. You know what that means.
