"Launched" with a colouring in job.... That sets their peg for the season

 

 

Force india launched a coloured in 2014 car, so they're doing better than that.

Vettel in Ferrari red overalls. Just doesn't look right. Hope the car looks more convincing.

just waiting for the McLaren launch today , around midday?

[fezzasus]

I'm not holding my breath, considering how long it took them to announce their driver line up, and the fact they still haven't announced a title sponsor.

And it's exactly the same, pointless!! Come on Mclaren!! New Engine supplier and sponsors and they can't even be bothered to design something fresh and new!! I fear this will sum up their season.

no chances of Jerez tests getting snowed in

Must be getting a lot of money from Nasr's sponsors to paint it like that.

 

Also, Sauber still seem to be struggling with that Ferrari engine, the packaging at the rear is pretty open, suggesting that the cooling requirements are still quite high. This will increase drag quite a lot compared to other manufacturers. It will be interesting to see if Ferrari themselves have managed to package the engine any better.

 

high drag car + 50 bhp deficit imposed by Ferrari as part of the engine supply agreement (relative to the engine in the Ferrari) means this year won't be much better than last.

Mercedes, "if it ain't broke don't fix it"... Their side pods and areo look almost identical to the WO5. Can't wait to see if they're as dominant this year! Only 43 days to go

Looks a nice car. Bet it changes a bit before March lights-out.

Alonso must be scratching his head about his move ?

Alonso must be scratching his head about his move ?

 

I really don't know what to make of testing so far!? I really hope Alonso has a decent car soon, he deserves another championship! Then again i'd like to see Vettel do well at Ferrari, it's going to be a good season.

 

We won't know how everyone is performing until they get to Aus.
