They are saying that its an aero rip off of the 2022 RB, hopefully it will go a bit better this time around. Some engine cooling upgrades done too.

Interesting...something about imitation & flattery, I'm sure.

Old man soapbox: stock cars aren't (where's a two-door Camry?) and beverage makers shouldn't build race cars, they should sponsor them.

Rant over.

I saw some article that says now Mercedes and Ferrari have cured some reliability issues, they have gained rather a lot of horse power. Interesting.

Hope that's right. Great drivers can and do make a difference...but the cars all have to be somewhat competitive for it to even matter.

Looks like they’ve significantly changed a car that worked quite well, what’s the betting their strategy will now be spot on and the car a dog?!

A lot of posturing and smoke and mirrors going on as well with these launches. Like last year, the cars we see at Bahrain will most probably be a bit different from what we see here. No one wants to give the competition a look in their kitchen before it is absolutely unavoidable.

So far for me the Mercedes is just the meanest F1 car for ages. Love the black.

Aston Martin will always win on colour for me but that Alfa also looks great.

Shaping up to be quite a year. Now, if we can get the Andretti/Cadillac entry...

I will still probably pull for the Scuderia. And now, I guess, Alfa...
