Re: 2017 F1 Car Launch Dates, Helmet & Livery Thread!

i thought the barge boards were supposed angled forwards like in every single one of those 2017 regulations vids. the rear wing also doesn't look wide enough. on first sight it looks quite dull although i think the 3d rendering would at fault for that and it would help if half the car wasn't in a sh...

Re: Engines: Electric versus Petrol

I think F1 should be more trendy than it is eco and you can still be that without having to go for a greener approach. A lot of new ferrari road cars still come with V12s, and i dont know but.. i think it would be weird if they were to return to V10s or V8s, but a V12 has air of luxury and prestige ...
