Booth and Lowdon are launching a Manor LMP2 effort, the car looks fantastic. please log in to view this image
There is something about a top-line sportscar that looks awesome. The old Prototypes of the late 80's and early 90's etc just looked fantastic. The current crop also look like real futuristic racing cars.
Mick Schumacher is carrying out another season in F4, but will be driving in Prema. Last season he drove for Van Amersfoort. Will build his experience further, more sensible option than jumping across series like Max Verstappen.
You'd think that, but look at the stick Joleyn Palmer has got on here for building experience before making the jump up
Not a big Mick Schumacher fan to be honest, but being 16 years old a doing grass roots racing is far different than being 25 years old. The one to watch is Lando Norris, won the MSA formula last year, just won the Toyota racing series in the Pacific and doing formula 4 - also 16.
Rear wings aren't going to be low and wide like the 90's and 00's are they. I have literally had enough of looking at them since 2009, they ruin the whole aesthetics of the car.
Make em wider too, with back fat back tyres. That's what I'd like to look at, and would help with mechanical grip.
Or in layman's The basis of the changes are: 2016 2017 FRONT TYRES 245mm 305mm REAR TYRES 325mm 405mm SUSPENSION TRACK 1800mm 2000mm FRONT WING 1650mm 1800mm REAR WING WIDTH 750mm 950mm REAR WING HEIGHT 950mm 800mm BODYWORK WIDTH 1400mm 1600mm WEIGHT 702kg 722kg + tyres (est tyres) It is estimated that the changes will deliver cars that are up to three seconds per lap faster than the 2016 cars, and produce downforce loads that will fall within the right tyre parameters.
Oh so they are making it a bit wider. Not sure what that very wide front wing is doing so far out in front though. That's a recipe for a lot of missing front wings and punctured rear tyres.
Wider cars!!!! That will help overtake in Monaco!!!!!! Needed less wings not more!!!! No one is going to be able to follow closely!!!!! Seems like this may be final nail in coffin for F1. Sad.

This is a stunning engineering achievement and should be common knowledge. “Note to Bernie: the sport is loud and sexy and full of drama. It would however appear to be owned and run by petulant spoiled preadolescents. “We want racing. Not yammering. Not fools cancelling German Italian and French GPs. “Note to Bernie: you should be able to make next month’s rent. Stop sucking the blood from the sport and let it breathe. Listen to the fans. “The sport is successful despite all of the stupidity/cupidity/narcissism/greed of the powers that be,” Hartstein added.
