So... tips on how slow this car will be?
The laps today weren't really any indication due to mechanical issues and the like. I'll be saying 6-7 seconds a lap off the leaders at Bahrain.

could be an interesting fight for that final spot on the grid. Be 6 cars in that fight I reckon and will be interesting to so who comes out on bottom. Personally I hope it isnt the rope-a-dope slopes

Indeed, it doesn't have any of those horrible aerodynamic modifications hanging off it making it ugly like all the new cars
This will be my signature until Dexter Bean qualifies for a NASCAR race. Keep chasing that dream...

Oh didn't know that.
@FP. I like the new cars far better than the square boxes of the late 90s and early 00s
At least now they have some style.

all cars look the same... regulations are so strict that it dictates what shapes the cars can be...no big experimentations like way back when!!
