It does look like the McLaren is struggling. The Mercedes was very strong today with Hamilton putting that lap in on the medium tyre

I don't know how to post pictures but surely James Hunt's Hesketh is worthy of a post today Just for you... https://images.cdn.circlesix.co/image/1/700/0/uploads/posts/2017/02/0c52fc7638bb17e75fa3e9d521c41f68.jpeg https://images.cdn.circlesix.co/image/1/700/0/uploads/posts/2017/02/0c52fc7638bb17e75...

I'd certainly make use of this... lets hope they bring out an Xbox App as that'll make life easier for me.

I used NowTV last season and the costs certainly add up.

BeOnEdge

What a shame... The Martini racing colours will be missed. A proper classic racing livery.

They still have a strong following of sponsors mind but indeed it will be a blow to their finances.

They need to be top 5 this year at least. Im not convinced the engine switch will be the magic bullet they need to get back to the top 3. You think that top 5 would be good enough? I would thought a minimum of top 4. I personally think top 5 would be more than respectable for them. It would certain...

I never thought I'd say it but I'm already finding myself ignoring the Halo. I wouldn't say I like it but it's not bothering me as much as I thought.

I'll wait until i've seen them in Melbourne on live TV but they're not half as bad as expected.

BeOnEdge

The Halo will stay until something (if anything) better is found.

Exactly as stated above, if they drop it and something happens (no matter how unlikely) how bad will that look.

BeOnEdge

You couldn't write it! Haha

I'm sure they'll be on top of their game this afternoon... I hope

It's good to see the Toro Rosso putting in some good track time. Nobody wants to see a repeat of last years Honda PU no matter who you do or do not support.

BeOnEdge

Well at least it didn't end up in the wall

BeOnEdge

Livery doesn't look quite as refined as last seasons but it certainly stands out.

Are they remaining as Force India then? Or can we expect a change in name between now and Melbourne?

They used papaya orange and blue on the M19 back in the early 70's

I think the Fanta logo would make a better sponsor

Even though it's clearly heavily edited... that thing looks really mean on track!

BeOnEdge

Slightly off topic but... Having seen the McLaren reveal today, I really hope they can pull it out the bag and get some good results this season. I personally can't see them being competitive enough to challenge for race wins but it would be great to see them grab a podium. But i'd love to be proven...

BeOnEdge

I like it... Would certainly benefit from a sponsor though

BeOnEdge

Was good fun! Congratrulations on the win and well done to Exediron for pinching second!

Looking forward to the new season!

BeOnEdge

Well she isn't pretty that's for sure! Certainly different to the others we have seen so far. Livery wise... It's just another Ferrari, I think there was too much white last season but maybe too little this year. I cannot stand the bunching of the sponsors on the side pods but it is what it is. Hope...

BeOnEdge

Livery is getting a bit tired now

BeOnEdge

I can't see this season being much different really. - Mercedes to dominate most races - Ferrari to have a competitive car yet not good enough - Red Bull to be more in the mix but again, not good enough - Force India to remain the fourth best on the grid - Renault to just nip the fifth spot from McL...

Everything seems to have gone Lewis' way since the summer break.

Lewis will take his 4th championship this year. It's his to lose.

BeOnEdge

A good week from me, lets hope I can maintain the lead!

Fair play for fighting for the #1 spot - I'm currently #6 in the UK and #18 in the Global league

Did anybody else find Jolyon Palmer's interview a bit disrespectful towards the Renault Team?

BeOnEdge

Without wanting to sound too thick! Can anyone confirm that the race will start at 6am UK time on Sunday? I always get confused when the clocks change! haha

BeOnEdge

I'm struggling to think of any sports shown in the entirety on free to air in the UK? Most major ones seem to follow the same pattern as F1. Some on free to air some on PPV. Why does F1 need to be any different? Six Nations Rugby. I agree though, free to air isn't the solution. It would be great to...

BeOnEdge

The cost of Sky Sports is absolutely ridiculous. £33.99 a month for a NowTV subscription too is extortionate! I understand that you get more than just the F1, but I'm not overly interested in the football and for a good chunk of the F1 season the football season has ended and is on a break. It's ash...

It's good to see that Ericsson is having a good day so far in the Sauber!

BeOnEdge

Are McLaren going to unintentionally push Alonso into early retirement?

I was really hoping it would be McLaren's year to shine but that seems a distant dream from what we've seen so far.

Here's to a better day of testing, I don't know how long I can keep this optimism up for though.

BeOnEdge

Very, very lucky!

BeOnEdge

It really isn't looking good for McLaren. I really hope they can sort their problems out!

I don't know whether Haas are pushing slightly harder than others on track but they've had two decent days so far.
