I love these comparison pics racefans has, and if you go HERE you can use a slider to go back and forth between the cars, check it out!

The Ferrari radiator inlets are really small, everyone copied their last years barge board design.

I just noticed that the Ferrari has that little aero device on top of the halo.

^^^ Front view is OK because you see the different colors but the side view is just lacking details/sponsors/colors. Something really doesn't look right.

It's like they woke up on a Sunday morning and went fuck totally forgot the school project is due tomorrow and slapped that together.

Just lowering the Petrobras logo down and blowing up the letters would be an improvement.

New doesn't necessarily mean better. Hoping they'll have to play catch up this year.

Well looks like most people agree that they need to fill the space with something. Not sure that's the best option. That said hopefully Alonso will spend more time in the car this year then on side lol.

Do you or anyone know what those little fins are on the side pods? Only car I've seen with those on.

First, I thought the fin was eliminated and "B" that halo aero on Ferrari has got to go.

They call them "vanes" (sp?) and they change the direction of the air path along the car.

Curious to know why you feel like the aero halo on the Ferrari needs to go?

The Halo on the Ferrari is the only car it looks almost OK on, at least they painted it to match the car.

The Silvers Arrows is the only launch that matters, everyone else will be fighting for second place in the constructor championship!!







I hope.

Ok here's my opinion ... the halo shouldn't be a mount point for areo ANYTHING if there is an areo issue with the damn thing it should be mitigated through the rest of the chassis design.

Something to watch regarding how things are coming along.

This looks like a pretty rad documentary, Silver vs Red. Im gonna watch it later tonight.

https://youtu.be/__-SYft5Edc

The 2017 Formula 1 season was one of the most thrilling in recent years. For the first time since the V6 Turbo era started, there were two Formula 1 teams with chances to fight for the Formula One World Championship. One of them was the Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One Team, wich was the winner of the Formula One World Championship the last three years. The other one is the most succesful team in the Formula 1 history, the Scuderia Ferrari.

The German driver Sebastian Vettel, a four time F1 world champion with Red Bull Racing, is the man who must lead the Scuderia Ferrari to the glory, meanwhile the british driver Lewis Hamilton, a three time F1 world champion with Mclaren one time and with Mercedes the other two, is the man who must defend the Mercedes hegemony and fight for his fourth championship to try to match Vettel's titles.

Hamilton and Vettel add together seven F1 world championships and both have won multiple races. For the first time they fight for a F1 world title to discover who is the fastest man on the planet. Enjoy this epic battle full of tension, drama and thrill between two historic Formula one teams and two champion drivers. Enjoy this Clash of Champions.
