Sebastian Vettel insists Mercedes remain the team to beat in 2017 – even though Ferrari's impressive performances and pace have caught the attention in pre-season testing.

Oh I see, this is a 'no no, you're faster!' thing until we get to Melbourne. See I told you, Lewis was loving trolling me

The new regulations for 2017 promised us more aggressive looking cars than the year before. To that affect, the FIA incorporated rules about the V shape of the front wing, the way the end plates of the rear wing should “flow”, and under what angle the side pods should be. Paragraph 3.8.8 says that that angle should be 75 degrees. These rules are meant to give the cars a fast, aggressive look when viewed from above.

This is where the new loophole comes in. With the birds eye view, it’s clear to see how Ferrari made its actual side pod under a 90 degree angle. The carbon work in front (but still incorporated) of the side pod is set under a 75 degree angle, thus following the rules. This enables Ferrari to make their side pod smaller than they appear on other cars. And it gives them more room between the barge boards and the actual air intake of the side pod. All this should be able to generate a better airflow towards them.


There will be a day. When that day comes I will be there. I will be there and I will yell loudly. Alot.

Also RBR's new sponsorship with Aston Martin is so.. it's kinda sad. Just the whoring they obviously still have to do.
Don't Aston Martin like... never turn a profit? Like, ever?

They're doing a model refresh with the DB11, just made the track only Vulcan and announced a track only ?Vantage?, a track ready (read, super uncomfortable, but very expensive) Rapide and the Valkyrie (which was why they did their sponsorship of Red Bull - I think Newey had a strong hand in designing it).

If they're haemorrhaging money, someone else is pushing more in.

Upper class Indians love the UK and all British things. It's the most bizarre thing ever.

It's probably got to do with how the British treated them (like royalty).

As long as they're finishing half of their practice laps under mercedes power, they might as well just make the switch.

Unsurprising. I still remember Mark Chapman reading out a listener question from I. MacHunt live on Radio 5 and immediately realising he'd been stitched up.

In mechanics parlance "intermittent" means "End user is complaining about it, but i have no earthly idea what is causing the problem and it looks fine to me". Nando is shitfucked.

Lap counts and reliability. If a engine keeps exploding or electrics keep shorting then they don't have time to fit and run any of the experimental bits on the car.
