No, I agree. Not a pretty car.
And I know I'm not a huge fan of the fins but come on! that one looks stuck on like an afterthought!

Did you see Mercedes released some teaser pics too?

Didn't see the Merc stuff yet. Just saw Hamiltons new helmet for the '17 season;

Here you go, but it doesn't show much anyway seeing as the launch is tomorrow.

interesting fin design!

I have doubts about being able to drive back to the pits after a puncture.

The new larger tyres seem to have smaller wheels.

Comments fellas please.

Cheers Chris

[Lewis - A2A]

The wheels are similar to last season, it will be interesting how the wider cars affect the racing on the narrower circuits though for sure.

[Tutmeister]

Yes tyres are wider and have a slight increase in diameter but the wheel is still 13".
The way things were if you had a puncture you were effectively dragging it back on two wheels assisted by what was left of the carcass anyway so I don't think this will change things much.

Well all the cars are now revealed and first test day finished.

What we thinking then people?

I am concerned the order is essentially the same at the moment, was hoping for a little more movement, but still too early for any real conclusions.

Love the orange of Mclaren!

[speedy70]

...........aaand Lewis beats last years time in his first test in the car.

PS Hamilton that is not Bloomfield.

Cheers chris

[Lewis - A2A]

Are you suggesting I'm not quick Speedy? lol

Bad news again for McLaren I see engine change needed already

I see also a lot in the media about not jumping to conclusions over the timings so far with certain red cars having a good showing today but not so good yesterday where the rumours of red car issues where rife!

[Lewis - A2A]

So what we all thinking after the first test then peoples?

This popped up on my feed today that's more food for thought;
"“Massive differences” expected when teams reveal true performance"
