I have to say that the cars this year and the best looking ones for many years. The new rules has clearly meant a better looking car. Look forward to seeing what the changes bring on track…If anything.

I agree but to be controversial, I have to admit that I have not booked any tickets so far. I usually attend a good few each year but (and I know it's bias) I don't agree with what happened in Bahrain

I'll get over it if Lewis wins the 1st race, I guess

Great to hear Lando's commitment to McLaren and can't wait to see George vs Lewis.

Sod it, I'll go anyway

I take it back apparently the AMR is a 'real' car... It will be going through a shakedown test at Silverstone today.

They are still free to change it further before testing

All the cars certainly look different especially those front and rear wings, glad to see a loot of those little wings all over the body gone just need to see them out in anger roll on testing

On 18" rims now too.. which look good. Lets hope they sound ok. They have slowly been improving the sound since the first year of the hybrids but still arent anywhere near even the V8s

New rules? Last season they didn't even know how to apply the existing ones!

Is there a new rule that stops Verstappen being allowed to drive other people off the road whenever he fancies? That's the rule we need. Plus a manager at the top with the balls to actually apply the rules.

and penalties that fit the crime (cf Silverstone last year).
just booked Spa in Aug after a 5 year gap. I won't bother packing ear plugs, essential their in the past with V8/10/12s on full bore.
unless of course they have fixed the sound.....

The only move they could make really. I don't suppose they will ever reveal what the invistigation found out about what was going on in his head.

Freitas has been running sportscar racing for years so is a safe pair of hands.

You say that but the last race that was the championship decider between Porsche and Ferrari was as much of a debacle as F1, probably even worse!
