Well better to fail at a 'filming day' than miss a whole week of proper testing.

I'm not about to start a fourth consecutive year of expecting Renault engines to litter the side of the track.

New Mercedes is very harmonious

 

[Greenlantern101]

Anyone fancy an early bet. The odds on Bottas and Max are tempting.

New Mercedes is very harmonious

Definitely the prettiest (least ugly?) so far.

Anyone else see the pictures of the T-Bar Mercedes fitted in front of the rear wing as an alternative to the shark fin? I'll try and find an image.

Looks like they had a few old bits of steel bar hanging about

Im still tempted at Riccardio for the title but dont want to jinx anything & had 25/1 on Mclaren to win constructors in 2015 by brazil it was 25/1 for them to finish the race

 

[Greenlantern101]

When is a T bar an extra wing and when is an extra wing a T bar?

 

[The Artist.....]

When is a T bar an extra wing and when is an extra wing a T bar?

I don't care to be honest; it looks dreadful!

I should like all the shark fins, t bars and all that awful gubbins be simply banned!

Ferrari images leaked by crash.net
Official launch yet to happen.

 

[Incubus]

Looks a bit weird... Like a lego set that hasn't been put together properly.

 

[Greenlantern101]

Looks like the McLaren has a fin as well Launch at 11am

 

[Titch]

Miraculously The Mercedes launch made the BBC breakfast news.

I think the Ferrari fin is awful. It looks like an afterthought

 

[vintly]

On the Ferrari, the configuration and colour of various logos, bodywork-shape and fin are pretty damn ugly. Why make the fin white?? Giz.

 

[Greenlantern101]

The Ferrari fin looks like it has a T bar attached to it per Mercedes idea.

 

[Incubus]

Why make the fin white?? Giz.

If you don't know the answer to that question those suggestion-based l advertising methods are crearly not working as well as they hope.

 

[teabagyokel]

The white fin on the Ferrari is very Lauda-era.

 

[sobriety]

Manor Honda has been unveiled.

My Shark's Fin is bigger than your Shark's Fin which took McLaren nearly five minutes to disclose.
