    so.....

    Mercedes are out driving it but the sky dufus standing with ocon was saying they were told to NOT SHOW THE REAR END OF THE CAR.... whats that all about? their own viedo of the day shows a little of it.

    The ferrari bods seem to be saying they've squeeeeeeezed the life out of the car to slim down profile so stand by for overheating.

    they are trying to overcome the new regs for front wing.

    they are trying to funnel air with the slope of the wing from nose outwards

    HAAS, Sabuer and ferrari all similar?

    It is lighter but I think the main thing is that it creates slight disruption of the air flow in a similar way to the dimples on a golf ball. So in theory the car has less drag with matt paint.

    I bet all these launch cars have stuff on to try and throw the opposition. Can't wait to see the real deal in a few weeks time.

    Like some of the new colour schemes, shame the Red Bull is a temp job, but everyone ****ing knows there will be minimal change to the running order.

    Mercedes will romp home with it this year, guaranteed. I think they will win by even more points because the bullshit Ferrari were getting away with in respect to their power unit will be obliterated by the supposed Merc upgrade.

    Williams are missing the first day of testing as the car isn't ready. Classic HRT I mean Williams.

    Really sad times to see Williams like this.

    Paddy Lowe has one hell of a job on his hands.

    Hopefully it’s just a bit of mileage they lose but they could be chasing their tail for the opening flyaway races here if they aren’t careful.
