is it me or does it look very bulbous around the halo mounting point? saying that, outlets have shruk / virtually non existent as a result of the re-introduction of the shark gills last seen in 2008

also dont know if it is the camera angle but the rear wing looks Mahoosive

Apparently the Red Bull may already be as fast as last year's car.

Hardly be a surprise. People in f1 are geniuses they often find loopholes and time

Last time it had f1 in the title like that was 2000 apparently, could be wrong as I did see this on twitter.

Re Haas when are they launching?

Leapfrogging everyone except perhaps haas.

Chances are all the teams will be using dummy /mules and we won't see the proper spec cars till Bahrain (test or race)
McLaren have already said that they’ll be bringing upgrades to race one.

More and more I just consider the car launch events to be revealing the livery rather than the car.

Yea I consider them a livery reveal, anything exciting will be out of view, but I think it'll be exciting just seeing some more perspectives of the new generation of cars.

I suppose the other thing with F1 moving to an era where the venturi tunnels are going to be the focus of everyone efforts rather then barge boards we may not really see lots of the stuff which really differentiates the cars anyway.

That’s a good point. The first team to have their car lifted by a crane will be cursing I’m sure.

Haas have confirmed it's a livery reveal on a vf22 mule. Rumour has it it will be predominantly blue with red as the 2ndary colour.

Re development, its the floor as a whole rather than the tunnels. Also dont be too surprised to see cars using modified cape designs throughout the season
What an uninspiring start :biggrin:

Something feels a bit off with the car. The sidepods and narrow nose are as predicted but the cockpit seems a bit high. Although kudos for them to stick with the pushrod front suspension.

Not a fan of the wide sidepods or the round inlets (latter of which I expect to see all teams use). Also the bit near the back of the halo is ugly - reminds me of the 310

Interesting to note that the haas and the AR mockup both show no waste gate pipes. Maybe ferrari hasn't decided on its placement yet
