for the most part i do agree with that, but for the top teams i think there is a desire to have more than a mock up in order to get their filming day/shakedown done before the first official test.
if their roll out is feb 12th at silverstone (although havent seen an official about their launch yet) then they will presumably get that in before Barcelona. |

as far as digital images go, this one is pretty boring!
i mean give it a nice background, stick it on top of a pyramid, have some fun with it right! |

Have Haas taken a leaf out of Racing Point’s book and tied up with a major manufacturer, in this case Porsche? Because that livery looks an awful lot like the works Porsche livery

I think historically Mercedes has done a great job with their livery. I think the silver with the tri-star logo is very nice (2019 Alfa Romeo testing livery took that concept to a new level and I wish they had kept it for the full season). The Patronas teal color fit in very well. But as to the new INEOS red (or black to red gradient)? Not so much. I don't care for it. But you gotta do what your sponsors want! Force India/Racing Point/Aston Martin (or whatever they call themselves these days) know this all to well with their pink cars! To be honest, I had no idea who INEOS was so I googled them (see that sponsorship is already working! ) And I see they using various colors on their corporate palette. Bicycle team uses the black to red, but America's cup is all black. I noticed the INEOS Grenadier project (again, something I didn't know existed) uses the red in it's website. Richard |

i also had to google Ineos
would like to know how much additional web traffic they got after the announcement. while i really like that Merc signed/extended their sponsorship deal with Ineos and i like that one can infer that at this moment Merc are, for the foreseeable future, planning on staying in F1, i also dont like the colour choice.. something about the green/teal and the red/black on the front wing looks off to me. anyways, im sure i wont even notice after a race or two. i cant tell if the red star for Niki is still on the engine cover or not (i hope it is). |

The Ratcliffe Imeos deal may well lead to something much much bigger in the next couple of years.

I quite like the livery. A little bid of red does something for Mercedes' minimalist look.
There's quite an interesting interview from the BBC, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/51452874 |

Im particularly enjoying the translator clearing their throat during the music portion if the show.
Quality sound effect! |

with a brighter red as well?
hard to tell what configuration the car was in (and i dont think those were the 2019 tires) but it looked more size zero/narrower at the back and the front wing looked to have some new elements/curves to it. something on the nose as well i thought was interesting. looking forward to reading the technical analysis and of course seeing it in action. |

The rear end couldn't possibly have been made more 'packaged' (nee narrower) to suit Vettel's driving style could it?
If so I hope that's to the benefit of both drivers and not wastimg valuable development time on yesterdays man. Last edited by chunterer; 11 Feb 2020 at 23:01. |
