Good old Ted showing pics on his phone yesterday whilst live on air. Clearly his mates saw an opportunity to pounce...

 

[Carrotdude]

That’s great [emoji1]

Absolutely absurd finish to the Macau GP with both leaders crashing on the final corner of the last lap completely independent of each other.

Following on from this,

http://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12...-hamilton-wouldve-won-2017-title-in-a-ferrari

do people on here feel that Lewis still would've won in a Ferrari?

 

[Carrotdude]

Probably not, he still would have had the reliability problems that screwed Vettel over at the end, he may well have not crashed at the start of Singapore which would have helped but I think of you swapped the two drivers around the Mercedes would have still won

Changes in the start times of races for next season. All races will start at 10 past the hour. European races will start at 2.10 although the French race will start at 3.10 to avoid a clash with the football (Englands 2nd game).

Bahrain will be a night race as well, rather than the current day start, evening finish

How bizarre.

10 Minutes of adverts innit. Hardly rocket science.

 

[Nando]

The McLaren show on Prime is tremendous. Essential viewing.

 

[The Bear]

I let my Prime subscription lapse but wanted to watch that.

Might have to look at other channels...

Most of the new cars have been revealed now, safe to say I love the Mclaren

Think the Renault looks awesome, though they usually so in my eyes, Red Bull looks brilliant in it's temporary colour scheme too.

Love McLaren, hate terrible Photoshopping.

The car's not too bad, but Alonso and Vandoorne have clearly just been photoshopped on. It's awful.

Yeah it’s such a shame that the red bull will go back to the normal livery as I love what they’ve done with it. Agree about the Renault and quite like the Sauber Alfa Romeo but wish it had a bit of the red at the front. The Ferrari looks better without the white bits imo too. The halo doesn’t seem too bad actually either

 

[The Bear]

I can't stand the Red Bull Livery!

Renault's is the best IMO.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

I think I prefer the Ferrari when it has white wings rather than being completely red. Love what they've done with the Renault though, especially the trick of perspective with it looking mainly black side on but mainly yellow front on.

 

[Kenny]

Alonso has a good start to testing

 

[Carrotdude]

That force India is horrible. Think the Renault and Mclaren are my favourites but that Toro Rosso livery is very nice again.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Very noticeable that the nose on the Merc is a lot thinner than everyone else. Is that them being ahead on something aerodynamically, or have they missed a trick?

Telling the Williams and Sauber apart is going to be challenging.

 

[Tredman]

I guess in theory you'd only go wider if you needed more down force, otherwise smaller profile into wind is always better.
