This years livery on last years car

I wish them good luck too, got a vested interest in 3 other other teams now that I hope do well

Lots of B-spec teams in cahoots with factory works teams out there so independent teams like Williams have a huge battle ahead of them

Some beauties on this poster, even Pastor's 2012 car

IMO best looking car so far, but I guess they all have that front wing. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1550061423.jpg

I think the current cars are all hideous looking. Lots of other current aspects of the sport that I can't stand, I must say.

Looking back at the era from the latter 1980's into the early 1990's, I think that was a golden era, from the design of the cars to the drivers that were involved.

Each new season interests me less and less. The new TV coverage in the US contributes to that, I have to say I've been massively disappointed in it.

Ya'll have fun, I think I'm done.

That Red Bull has shock factor.

Mercedes has a nice livery. If only the halo was invisible.

I'll wait until its out on track with the other cars.

Having Honda and Aston Martin on the nose cone both is a bit weird.

I have to agree to but the Alfa Romeo Sauber might just beat it on looks

A Marlboro paint scheme could make anything look good

It's even more ironic when you consider that Aston Martin buys its engines from Mercedes. SmileWavy

The redBull livery is for testing only, the real one will come later and likely be more conservative...

And force india is still pink... except they ran out of terrible names and opened up the box with "really crappy names", they are now "SportPesa Racing Point F1". Mouthful. I hear commentators calling them sports peas already.

Do any of you guys have a suggestion for a F1 news website besides Planet F1? I'm getting pretty bored with their overly British take on everything. Specifically, the endless chatter about their wonder boy, Hamilton.

There have to be other sites. No?

AutosportF1 and Crash net among many others, but I think the Brits are pretty good at it. My imo

Deschodt 02-14-2019 12:47 PM

Formula 1 News, Live Grand Prix Updates, Videos, Drivers and Results - ESPN (brit but OK)
Autosport above is good but after a few visits they shut you out...
F1.com (surprisingly)
https://www.motorsportweek.com/joesaward/ (when his seires of not so fascinating facts ends, he's on it)

Kimi's got new shoes ....
