F1 2017 SEASON: NEWS - RUMOURS

Will they put the car numbers on the fin, will make it a bit clearer, but may make them look a bit stockcar-ish

 

Did anyone see Lewis winging about data sharing between team mates? Please correct me if I am wrong but I seem to remember Lewis publishing a data trace showing his and Buttons data on the same graph. Plus I thing for a short time he was using Buttons setup as a starting point when he had gone down the wrong setup path?
Surely if he was that bothered he would have it in his contract that data was not shared between him and his team mate. Especially as he negotiated the contract!!!
Looks like Lewis is getting worried about Botttas

 

Let alone the times he had to use Rosbergs set up after a few free practices didnt work for him last year. bailed him out.

I think Lewis is trying to apply some dominance in the team but Unlike Rosberg I dont think Bottas will be bullied. Well I hope not

 

Sauber looks very smart, hopefully they'll carry that colour scheme into the season and its not just a show-pony for testing whilst they try and drum up some sponsorship.

 

I think in reality they all use data sharing to optimise performance, and they all start from a team simulated base setting, so for me this much about nothing. Except to say that there is nothing more hypocritical than a racing driver.

 

Red Bull aero team previewing their 2017 season.

Most interesting.

 

Everyone's got a stubby one this year it seems

 

First thing I thought of when I saw that was the Batmobile.

Renault claiming 0.3 per lap engine performance gain

 

Anybody else bloody hate those shark fins?

 

I like them just not the ridiculous ones we had before where they joined the rear wings

 

They need big flames painted on them

 

Is that quite significant in pure PU terms?

 

Work of art.

 

Looks smashing doesn't it?

Saw some online discussion slating the paint earlier but I much prefer this to the all yellow they had last year.

F1 cars looking like F1 cars- and it's bloody awesome.

 

I echo your feelings, the racing might all be the same but at-least they look like the pinnacle of motorsport and not suped up GP2 cars.
