    Those red patches on the livery are so tacky!

    Car looks alright though.

    The way Allison talked about the stepped nose implied it's an obvious decision to keep it, which doesn't bode well for the other cars. At least we know Williams won't have it, and possibly Ferrari too but Marca aren't the most reliable source.

    If most teams retain stepped noses I suggest we start a petition to have BBC and Sky pixelate them.

    They say they still haven't got the PDRS working <laugh>

    Whoever unlocks that little nugget will win the WDC.

    Can't believe it's already the time of year when the cars are unveiled and those sidepod entrances have incredible detailing on them. Can't wait to see the others now!

    Still a fair few guests around on various threads, maybe we need a 'welcome guests' thread, say hello kind of thing :)

    On the Lotus, got to say I dont like the red at all, but as a machine it look like its fast (which is a start).

    FFS, how have they not sorted the DRS out yet. Looks weird to me overall that car, hope it gives Kimi a few more victories, that's all I care about.

    Interesting... along with McLaren they were rumoured to copy Ferrari in this area.

    Scarbs reckoned the CGI version was more likely closer to the real version that the physical one we saw on Sky.

    The air intake on the CGI one certainly looks a lot more complicated.
