The livery is growing on me. Whilst not good for the team, the fact it's missing so much sponsorship makes it look nices than those that may have nice base colours but these are broken up badly with all the stickers on top.

I tend to find they look better on track than in studio/launch pictures.

Agree with those who says it looks like a Codemasters game custom livery but I quite like it. I want to see all the cars on track, but after that I might do a ranking thread on what we think the nicest liveries are. Message me when Ferrari unveil their livery and I can set up an ranking poll for it...

Kind of like it, but it does seem to abruptly change from the white front to the blue rear. Doesn't flow from one to the other, very well. As I've seen with the Aston which looks far better on track than under studio lights, I'm thinking this one will too.

Electric is monopolised by Formula E for another decade or so, but I'm sure F1 is lining itself up for a merger, especially with Liberty owning both (through different arms I believe, but still). I actually want to see F1 go the hydrogen route, it would allow for manufacturers to explore both in mo...

I know Porsche has been investing massively in biofuels so I wonder if there's any link to this. I can imagine that nobody running F1 wants to become 100% electric, so if there's a chance that F1 becomes hybrid with electric and biofuel, that could suit Porsche and their marketing, very well.

I don't think I've ever been so disappointed with a livery. There have been far uglier paint jobs in the past, but ugly is at least interesting. This is just so dull. Plus the Russian flag all over it is hardly subtle... I was really warming to HAAS as the way they seemed to go about the sport remin...

Asphalt_World

That's a very expensive way to fly the Russian flag around the circuit at every race

Early days of course, but apparently a Porsche executive has been talking about the fact that the VW group is looking into the viability of joining F1.

Andrew Benson is mentioning it on Twitter.

Well, it looks great, but it isn't the green I was expecting. Nut sure what it is, but in these pictures, it just looks a little pale and rather too metallic. I guess I'm just too old-school.

To be honest, I think the best the best thing they could do to improve it without the need for silly passing aids, is to make the cars smaller and reduce the braking abilities. If braking distances were even 25% longer and the cars were smaller, the changes of attacking under braking would be hugely...

I like the colours, especially the flag colours being used at the back. For me, it's a shame there's so much red where it says MAPFRE behind the front wheels. It kind of spoils it but I guess the sponsor wants to be seen!

To be honest, it's better than DRS because I assume the driver in front can use the same button to defend if they wish. He would only know if the button was activated if he had TV coverage in his car though! :uhoh: Ah, but if they thought the car behind was closing faster than normal, they would ha...

An extra 40hp can alter a lap time differently depending on the circuit.

It's lovely when the number gets below a month.

So, within 24 hours of Ferrari announcing this, they don't have the budget to do this and F1, they are doing it to pressure the FIA for F1 advantages and they've always cared more about F1 than sportscar racing. Wow! Well, as already mentioned, F1 budgets are getting seriously snipped, Ferrari does ...

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!! 2023 will mark the 50th anniversary since Ferrari Factory last raced at LeMans... Ferrari has always cared more about F1, so I don't see them investing the resources needed to run F1 AND WEC, too. Ferrari began in sports car racing before F1 existed. Enzo spent years ...

Now, I have to get a closer look to "Hypercar" regulations.

If you use Twitter or Instagram, follow the Glickenhouse team. They are building their first car and share an incredible amount of insider pictures and information on their social media. It's fantastic.

Asphalt_World

Beyond excited is an understatement. Ferrari will develop Hypercar for the 2023 Le Mans. Their first attempt at a Le Mans victory since the early 70s! The first thing that comes to mind is who will drive for them? https://www.autosport.com/wec/news/155194/ferrari-announces-2023-le-mans-hypercar-prog...

Lovely looking car and the nose is really pretty. Let's hope it's a bit quicker than last years car, relative to the opposition.

Thing is, Porsche have a bio fuel factory coming along and I think some other manufactures are looking strongly at this too. TIme will tell. Possibly or hydrogen powered. Isn't the point though that bio fuel has to power the public's cars to make the relevant to the rest of the car buying public? T...

From a completely none technical point of view, I think it looks fab.

Reading further it appears there is a verbal agreement between OEM's that any engines that are somewhat lacking would be allowed a leg up, however this is actually not in the written rules. I'm guessing that if we look at last year Ferrari would have been allowed a leg up whereas the likes of Honda...

Nice looking new car, but the paint scheme is very very similar to last year's.

My goodness, this Mclaren launch is rather painful, especially the return of the fan wall!

I'm holding back om commenting about the use of sprint races until I've given it more thought. But if this was to happen, it would be far better for a lot of us fans for quali to be Saturday morning with the sprint race in the afternoon. They'd get more people watching the quali that way and attendi...

So, Russell, Bottas and Hamilton all have contracts ending at the end of the upcoming season. Well done Mercedes for being very much on control of things for 2022. It looks bad when you put it like that, but something utterly extraordinary would have to happen to have two or even all three of those...

Those that know me well on here will know I'm not a fan of the safety car and generally put my broken record on and call for Slow Zones.

Therefore talking about safety cars instead of the yellow flags at Silverstone 2003, is not relevant to any discussion with me.

If people weren't convinced before, I would imagine that Romain's crash has now convinced them that the Halo is a brilliant, if not pretty, advancement in safety. But thinking about other areas of safety, I have been working this afternoon whilst having the 2003 British GP on TV. I was staggered to...

Thing is, how many traditional manufacturers are genuinely left in the sport? McLaren are by name and whilst is still very much McLaren, over half of the company are owned by the Bahrain Royal family! It was almost inevitable that Williams would have to sell at some point.

It may only be a shakedown, but I'm already super excited about the new regulations.
