Formula One 2017 Discussion

The RBR looks relatively clean and simple in front of the side pods, I wonder how much that pic has been dumbed down to no give secrets away.

Also wondering if Mercedes really will be the only team to go into the season without an engine cover sail.

With these major new Aero Rules, i'm intrigued to see how far they now take Circuit-Specific Aero.
Eg. Monaco vs Monza might be entirely different looking cars in terms of Sharkfins and Wing Packages.
In previous years it tended to just be a Front Wing, Brake Duct, Radiator closure and Rear Wing alteration. Plenty more to play with this year...

Haas:
Never in a million years would have I thought burnt grey would look good on an F1 car, but this looks superb, and the fluroscent red compliments it magnificently. Sharkfin looks incredible as well. Could badly do with some more sponsors, but even so, what a beautiful car. 8/10

Toro Rosso:
Hold the phone what's this? An new livery for the most forgettable team on the grid? Yes. Not only that, it's a bloody superb one. It's only taken them 11 years but they're finally using STR to advertise one of their alternative drinks, and boy does it look good. The richer blue is brilliant, along with the chrome lettering. This is what a racing car should look like! This is not only the best looking car on the grid this year, it might even be the best looking car of all time. 10/10

And Hallelujah, a normal nose!!!! This will always look better than the other options we have seen over the last few years.

Awesome vid, nice find

Watch it live

Hey Jono, I bought my tickets way back in July!!! LOL, it's our first ever F1 GP too.

We got 4 day champion grandstand ticket, and on the sunday we are in the Brabham stand too. Ours is Sec C, Row T

Friday we are in the Jones stand, and Saturday in the Fangio stand. Also we got Gold Advantage membership by getting them so early.

We can't wait, so pumped. Maybe we should have a ROOZ meetup on the Saturday or something?

Wow that's awesome!
I'm most certainly keen for a ROOZ meetup.

Cars look visibly faster, particularly through the fast stuff. Turn 3 looks REALLY quick now.

YES!!!!!!!!!

Stupid smug litle brat. "Ooooh, I don't want to run the wet tyre in testing ooohhhh"
Merc instantly develops electrical fault. Yeah right.

What they're saying to the media suggests that we should see them push for performance more at the second round of testing.
