Season is approaching, teams are releasing their pre season start designs.
So this is the chance to see the cars as the teams intended them to look like before inevitably stripping it of all colour !

Some great looking cars so far IMO.
The RB (ex alpha) looks awesome: https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/ibimg/hgm/1024x576-1/100/917/2024-rb-vcarb-01-formula-1-race-car_100917478.jpg
Heard some people say they love the WIlliams i think its meh : https://cdn-2.motorsport.com/images/amp/Y998X97Y/s1000/williams-racing-fw46.jpg
Aston hasnt changed much but thats to be expected as they build f1 brand: https://images.ps-aws.com/c?url=https%3A%2F%2Fd3cm515ijfiu6w.cloudfront.net%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2023%2F02%2F13192340%2Faston-martin-amr23-launch-planetf1.jpg
Mclaren Im indifferent to, can see why people would like it its kinda a hark back to 90s mclaren design: https://www.racefans.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/racefansdotnet-23-01-16-17-31-43-1-McLaren-F1-2024-Livery-Front.jpg
I like the Ferrari minus the stripes going across the nose: https://e0.365dm.com/24/02/768x432/skysports-ferrari-f1-2024-launch_6453995.png?20240213110628
The merc looks stunning especially in that front on view: https://media.formula1.com/image/upload/f_auto/q_auto/v1707905210/fom-website/2023/Mercedes/W15%20launch/Mercedes-AMG%20W15%20E%20PERFORMANCE%20-%20Lewis%20Hamilton%20-%20Front%20Low.jpg.transform/9col/image.jpg
The red bull doesnt look much different at all: https://www.racefans.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/racefansdotnet-23-02-15-18-25-51-5-2024-02-15-10.55.14.jpg
Haas is boring : https://www.racefans.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/racefansdotnet-23-02-02-13-11-45-1-Untitled-10.jpg
Sauber looks like a gaming PC and Im not sure if I love it or hate it: https://www.topgear.com/sites/default/files/images/inline-galleries/2024/02/0ba0fff92b2485e2a0a442267ef9ff74/1%20Sauber%20F1%20car%202024.jpg

Couldn't have planned that reaction any better.
Anyway, speaking of cockups, you see Ferrari uploaded the wrong video to their Twitter for their car reveal? Was titled "poetry in motion" and was supposed to show a silky smooth pitstop from a top-down perspective, but they accidentally uploaded the wrong take, where the front left got stuck and the stop took 3.8 seconds.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Even in their VT's they cant get their pit stops correct

Verstappen more than 1.1 seconds faster than the rest of the field.
Will be interesting to see if Perez can replicate it tomorrow.

lets just hope thats him pushing it, Max aint one for sandbagging to be fair.
He is in a league of his own, lets just hope his car isnt this year.

He was 0.8 seconds faster than anyone else with 90 kg of fuel onboard...

Mercedes car looks strong this year, gonna be a great battle between them, Mclaren and Ferrari.
Even the inter team battles are gonna be great, two young guys with a lot of ambition and talent at Mclaren, two drivers desperate to impress for next year @ Ferrari and its gonna be all ego at Mercedes if Russell continues to close the gap between him and hamilton and this should happen those two gonna be tripping over each other all year I can see both Merc drivers being very aggressive this year.

No I banned you because you were insulting me and calling me names for simply disagreeing with you. Its all still there in the live thread. I kept that comment there just to make sure that the truth wasn't going to be twisted.

I suggested you might be "dumb" if you ignore a very clear and obvious thing in F1.
If you cant handle the word dumb then this place prob isnt for you. (PS you actually confirmed that the comment wasnt that bad and you have said far worse on here) basically admitted you were a hypocrite snowflake.
I dont think much more needs to be said or added.

It was more than that, but whatever, new season started, Ive asked Admin to unban you. Not sure if that was done, I can't test it. You need to see for yourself.
