2020 F1 car launch/testing

[KNAPPO]

Nice one ALPHA TAURINE

[Vilante]

That's fucking ace. Using the shapes in the car to enhance the design and vice versa.

Hi fellas

[w00dsy]

Hey Mando you're back. I heard you joined the Taliban, or it might have been Scientology.

[Dr. Pain]

Me too... But it still got some Red on it... Argh!!!

Psssttt... Honda branding is Red....

I was catfished, then kidnapped, by Casey Donovan. I've been living in her armpit this entire time.

At least it's a bit more of a coherent colour scheme than last year.

Let's hope they've got it right this time!

Mind you....
"The main concept behind the FW43 is that it is a continuous development of the FW42, with no fundamental concept changes to the layout.

erm... FW42 was one of the worst cars you ever made! Sounds like it needed some major fundamental changes to catch up otherwise you would have done it by mid season. Unless they're writing off this season with a view to max development for the new regulations.

[Big Kev]

By the way, some good analysis of the aero on this channel. The cars have a lot more changes than you'd think.

BWT are now the title sponsor. No more SportPesa (not that anyone knew who they were anyway!)

[KNAPPO]

I like it.

I have a feeling the sponsor said this to the graphic design team.

[norbs]

I like it.

Where does a bloke get that cream? Asking for a friend.

[Duke]

FFS!!! I don't think I need to repeat myself again.
by the way that is by far the worst Williams livery they have ever had & could be one of the worst in F1 history. Poor Frank!!!

[norbs]

Calm Duke. red is fastest, we all know that. Even your team has gone for it. There is even red on the pink car by the looks of it.

[w00dsy]

I don't mind it. I think the worst one they had was in 99.

[Big Kev]

First time in a while that all the cars have actually made it to the first day of testing!



Renault are running a black testing livery

[Big Kev]

Well that looks clever!
Merc seem to have a system where they can push the steering wheel in to change the toe on the front wheels

[Duke]

Crickey that's clever from Merc... I wonder how long it'll take to be protested or copied...

[w00dsy]

Ferrari will find a way to get it banned.

[pixelboy]

Or copy it..
