Color is changed for sure, look at this pic, it's probably the lighting / sun but the old car would never look like this
It really isn't.
That front wing end plate is looking a bit orange.
All I want to see from them this year is getting the sort of volume Mercedes normally gets in terms of laps.
Seems a shame to waste all that free testing time by spending half of it in the garage.
Tyre data for laptimes:
Seems SEB was on faster tyres but still a good gap.
Karun Chandhok noted that Merc and RB looked a lot heavier fuelled than the Ferrari.

Wow. Surely there are parts they could still be testing with last year's car, not to mention at least letting their drivers get some much needed track time?
Could be they've seen something on other cars that they feel they missed and have had to overhaul some important parts.
The new Pirelli tires are so shiny.
Or did they look like this in previous seasons as well and we just rarely see them at 0 km?

Thats what every team does. Doesn't stop them from testing, though.
They mentioned it on autosport. Apparently a new moulding method.
2019 DRS slot gap is stoopid massive...
Here is a better angle. (press shot).
Thank you sir. Joined.
seems like Williams might not be out tomorrow too. Rough.
Any swede here that knows if F1 TV has become available in the country? I can't stand the commentators on Viasat.
Happy to see that there have been no reliability issues with the Honda engine so far. Gives me some hope that Red Bull will at least be operating on last year's level.

Yeah, it's available now.
Make sure you sub via the app because it's cheaper.
789 kr per year in the Formula 1 app.
110€ per year on the website.
Man, I think it's sweet of Alfa Romeo to honor Peter Sauber's legacy, but damn, that livery is a let down as I was hoping to see something new and fresh.
Am I crazy to like the looks of this car with all these antennas and other crap in it?

RIP Force India F1 Team ... and hello SportPesa Racing Point F1 Team . May this start a new beginning for the better
Wow. I mean, it doesn't say anything about how the season will run but some good times.
150 laps for Mercedes, pretty expected. No rush to set a fast time, need to check the stints.
That would be the only solution for the team, but there are rumors that Claire denied that way two years ago, when Mercedes proposed it.

Yeah I think that was Frank's stubbornness tbh. They need to accept that their legacy isn't going to pay the bills and rethink that decision.
What? You don't like Janne? :)
If you think the swedish commentators are bad you should listen to the norwegian ones.. Herregud.
I made an account, but I've never done the league stuff before. Where do I enter this code?
Go back to your team page and there should be a button to allow you to join a league.
I think their fear is that in going down that route would lead to a loss of talent in the areas for designing/manufacturing those parts which means getting back to doing it yourself isn't easy.
But, surely being not shit is of more importance. They could take from Merc what Haas take from Ferrari and challenge regularly for points.
