John For me the merc has so far the most visible innovations like the big triple side pod tuning vanes and the horns just above the barge boards also the floor does look very nice and the side pods are very sculpted.

AntPhillips Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 On looks alone, so far (and unusually for me) I'd say Mercedes pinch it, it'll be interesting to see what Red Bull and McLaren come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shood23 Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 New Ferrari sf-70h added. Being a massive Ferrari fan I'm not sure what to think of it yet. I quite like the side pod inlets though a lot more different to any other team so far. Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jampton Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Mclaren was disappointing! Exactly what I was hoping not to happen, to much black and orange not right. Hope it just the lighting. The front nose looks interesting though. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shood23 Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 New mclaren added. Not too sure on the colours but it is better than the all black look. a lot of very nice design bits though like the nose wing supports and the rear wing end plates. Aesthetics wise it looks the most developed compared to the almost primitive looking Sauber. Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do hope your right Ant, as long as its competitive, that's the most important thing. And that the Orange fades in the sun! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jampton Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 After looking at your image you put up Shaun, the orange looks about right. But who am I to cast any judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadman Disciple Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Is it me or does the McLaren look like an orange version of last years Manor car? Also not liking the front wing flaps of the McLaren, it looks like someone has come some paper cutting art & stretched it out Wayne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've seen on other forums and facebook the mclaren more resembles the old spyker f1 from 07 but yeah I see the manor also. Oh well only 1 more big team to come on Sunday and a few of the midfield cars and we'll have a full grid. Also big news whilst I'm thinking of manor. Rumour has it that manor may just make the grid in 2017 but maybe not until the Spanish gp or they could start the year in a modded version of last year's car, not too sure about that though as they were 3 or more seconds off the fastest last year so with it being apparently upto 5 seconds faster this year they would be somewhere close to maybe 6 seconds off the pace which surely is dangerously slow but I guess the Fia would get very strict on the 107% rule in quali but then what's the point in turning up to races if your not going to qualify especially if your a small team with no money.

MetroRacing Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Mclaren use Honda engines. The Honda Yuasa BTCC team are Sponsored by Halfords. The Mclaren has the same colour scheme. Are Halfords sponsoring the team? Or just a coincidence? Ashley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with that is, is that that's a classic Marlboro livery. Even Rally cars carried it and you'd either be banned by the FIA for subliminal advertising, or sued by Marlboro or both. Plus doesn't Marlboro still 'donate' money to the Ferrari team? Ashley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shood23 Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share Posted February 26, 2017 New redbull added. I must say I am really disappointed as it looks the same as last year's car just with a fin and new front and rear wings. I'm hoping it's just like the Williams and tomorrow a totally different car rolls out for testing. Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shood23 Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share Posted February 26, 2017 Right so Haas have now officially released the new VF-17. Again not a very interesting car In terms of design but we will see how they go this year. Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
