Hamilton doesn't put his teammates into the wall when racing them like Perez so he'll have fewer DNFs at least.
Back wings a bit different but they aren't far away
If they can actually keep it looking that simple with the rules, then the 2021 cars are going to be sexy as hell.
I hate HATE all the little winglets and turning veins and slots and whatever the fuck the cars are currently covered with.
The "skirt" looks awesome.
Knowing how car evolution seems to pan out it'll be covered in winglets by 2025.
If the floor and rear diffuser work as they are supposed to, the rear wing doesnt need to look like a "traditional" rear wing.
I dont mind it reminds me of duck tail wings/spoilers which im a fan of.
Those front wheel winglets though? Not so sure about those....not gonna be mandatory are they?
I think it looks cool but it's way more conservative than I expected. It also doesn't look as aggressive as some of the concept pictures hinted at.
thats usually the case. concept artists like being unrealistically agressive to get people to talk about their work....
As long as the racing is good, I'm fine with just about any look. The 2009 cars looked hilariously awful at first but the season was so insane that it was worth it.
F1.9 with Manor/Virgin/Marussia, Lotus/Caterham, Campos/HRT was terrible though
But if it's closer to Haas then I'm ok.

Problem is when the engineers get hold of the rules and find loopholes to make them ugly again.
The intent is not make them look good in the first instance - its to imporve the racing. They could look stunning but no one would watch if the races were boring as fuck.
Nah looks are definitely part of it.
Everyone complained about how ugly the 14/15 cars were and some of the changes after that were specifically made to make them look better.
Looks are also part of the spectacle, so can't just dismiss them.
Looks are not the main priority. The racing is. Asthetics are a nice-to-have.
Whenever I think about Lance Stroll hogging a seat in F1 with his intense mediocrity when somebody else more deserving could be in it, it makes me very mad.
Yeah but with his Dad owning the team, he's really going to be in it for aaaaaaaggggesss.
And rank nepotism has been around for longer than that.
It sucks, but them's the breaks.
If I win the Lottery, this is one of the first things I buy:
He has more podiums than Hülkenberg, Ocon, and Sainz combined :D
Stroll has 12 gp entered and 18 points
Perez has 12 gp entered and 13 points.
Remember when Perez was supposed to humiliate Stroll in head to head?
Yeah Stroll is a weak driver but there's been so much worse in F1. We don't even need to look at the 80's or the 90's, only 13 years passed since Yuji Ide entered F1, a trash tier driver with sight issues who'd spin every other lap while still lapping shockingly slow. Good times.
In no way am I saying he's better. I'm just saying people zero in on Stroll when worse drivers are on the grid
Honda to launch spec 4 in Spa according to Japanese media, talks will be held this week to determine who will take it.

Albon, Kvyat and Gasly should all take it. If Max is competitive in FP3 they should hold off until Monza.
Vettel wants out of Ferrari, unhappy with development direction, has a get out clause (out of top 3 wdc), held talks with Red Bull in Hungary.

Is this confirmed in any way?!? Cuz that would be craaaaaazy!
No, it's my silly season prediction.
Yamamoto will be driving the Toro Rosso at some point this season though, he joined them in Germany to get a feel of the working environment and has been using the Red Bull sim.

Just throwing this out there, and I'm being 100% serious, but considering their connection why hasn't the FIA consulted Polyphony Digital about circuit design? Playing GT over the years their original circuits are always top notch and the recent batch of circuits for GT Sport produce great racing with a lot of the character fans clamour for. It's bizarre Tilke is the be all and end all for this sort of thing in the FIAs eyes.
