Ah, actually, I bet it is the proving ground test track at their plant in Untertürkheim (I think?). I remember seeing an article ages ago talking about it. The banking goes up to nearly 90 degrees, IIRC. Edit: This one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8EuMPV6gg0

Robert Kubica is as pretty as Nico Rosberg, because they're both white.

Possibly Chicken posted:Mclaren is silver "LOL THIS SUCK RON DENIS LOL" Firstly, look at where the black is. It's actually in a shape on the Merc and on the McLaron it's the whole bottom half. Plus the Merc has the Petronas Teal along the length (nopse, rims and sidepod), rather than red lines that cut off somewhere around the front of the cockpit. I like the pattern on the Merc's spine as breaks up the colour, whereas Button will be driving something that's just plain silver for the sake of silver. Also the fact that the teal is more gradiented/feathered/whatever than last year's. Do I think the car's a stunner? No, but it's the best looking out of the FI, Macca, and Merc. That's all.

It's horrible. But I like it because it's not black/grey/silver. Or red. Or dark blue. Or green. Oh, it's just horrible.

I quite like it, actually. Wouldn't mind seeing another angle before I commit to that, though. And I do hope they sort out the rear.

From what I see, I actually kinda like, much better than the eternal dark grey of the previous years. Actually I'm overall quite excited when it comes to Sauber, I think Nasr might be a positive surprise this season.

Man, between the race-distance fuel tanks and the new noses the cars just keep getting longer and longer.

Brainwrong posted:Did Larousse or Prost run a yellow and blue car? Larrousse had a few that were riots of color and involved Camel sponsorship, so maybe that. Ligier in 1996 had Parmalat as a sponsor so a lot of white, but not so much yellow. That Sauber looks quite good too. I like the paint scheme, chassis still kinda eh. I figure most of the back-half of the grid are gonna have noses like the Sauber does. Also, looks like the color scheme is reminiscent of their last four or five years' worth in terms of the angles (like on the side pod), but with new colors. I dig it.

Ferrari's car was just unveiled. More sponsors than McLaren and Sauber. I can't tell if it's just the picture or not but it looks like it has a really short wheelbase.

That's the nicest looking Ferrari in a while. Let's hope it's competitive, for the sake of the season and the sweet tears in this thread.

See, more black shaping. WHY WON'T YOU LEARN MCLARON? No dick nose. Something I've noticed about the Ferraris is that they have a skinnier air duct and a bigger Pinched Fin than the other teams usually
