Been pretty underwhelmed by the launches so far, Haas has the best looking car followed by Mercedes in my opinion. The regulations continue to spoil the aesthetics of the cars. Once again it's not the tip of the nose that really bothers me, but the sudden crook in the where the nose meets bulkhead that really spoils the entire profile of the car. Much prefer it when the cockpit sweeps smoothly downward: please log in to view this image From the bulkhead back the cars look great, the Ferrari looks spectacular from the top. And I echo the sentiments about the liveries being dull once again. I'd prefer an all red Ferrari, but I could live with the added white if it wasn't for that clumsy Marlboro logo on the engine cover, the same logo which is ruining Vettel's crash helmet. Not really a fan of the new Red Bull either, I quite like the matte paint but the Red Bull writing on the sidepods ruins it for me. The colour's very similar to what Toro Rosso run and I'm sure I read STR would be running with an interim livery in testing so hopefully they're going to go for something a bit different. The McLaren looks decent it's just so samey. Even Renault has gone for black. Mix it up a bit please.
I think Manor will get smallest number of laps in. Reason being Manor have historically ( am I allowed to say Historically and Manor in same sentence?) had smallest budget. While they did their Merc + Williams deal early I am not sure they will have had the resources to put it all together correctly. Don't get me wrong I want Manor to do well. Hopefully a few occasions within the points. It would be great to see them in front of Red Bull
When a driver says "for sure" they are acting most natural. Therefore whoever says for sure the most tomorrow has the best car. Perfect logic.
When someone starts a sentence 'in all honesty' or 'to be honest' for sure you know they are lying. Just like 'Frankly speaking'. In all honesty you don't need to say these things if you are being frank about it. So, with that logic if you are sure, you would keep it to yourself, for sure.
Frankly speaking, I think you're talking out of your exhaust vent. In all honesty it's fair to say you're spewing utter bovine excrement.... for sure.
Good morning F1 pilgrims! It's Barcelona testing and the cars are officially launching in the pit lane as we speak! Not sure when we can expect the first laps completed but possibly from 8am onwards!
Benson: There will be cloak and mirrors, caginess, perhaps even a bit of dissembling. But F1 2016 starts here. Cloak and mirrors, gotta love the guy.
