A few car launch pictures from this week, all cars have just a launch/test aero package, race spec aero will be run at the 2nd test to allow maximum aero/wind tunnel development time
Track photo's are from what team's refer to as 'Filming Days', these are limited to only 100 km's and just a shakedown prior to the 1st of two 3 day Barcelona test sessions which is next week.
The big team's like Mercedes, Ferrari, RBR will have done hours and hours of 24 hr testing on 'virtual tracks' back at the factories for a full systems check eg cooling, oil, hydraulic, transmission, hybrid, telemetry etc, as well as debugging, setting PU performance parameters, gearshift strategy etc etc
In no particular order......
RBR, if Honda step it up they should make 2nd place a hard fought battle
Ferrari, named the SF1000 as it will compete in the 1000th race at Monaco for the team which is an amazing achievement
Mercedes, beautifully packaged car as usual, has to be the favourite again
Money shot for Won!
Alfa Romeo, another fighter in the mid-field battle?
Alfa Tauri, was Torro Rossa, aiming to be top of the mid-field
McLaren, hoping to keep last years momentum going to finish best of the rest
I will watch with interest this year as I have two dogs in this years fight
that's another 4 car's I'll have to buy for my never ending model car collection
