Don’t like all the silver on the Merc….


Ferrari is best looking of the year. AM and McClaren close behind. RB just slightly ahead of Haas and Williams for worst.

I like that F1's official page put out that side by side view when it was made apparent almost instantly that the Mercedes pictured(rendering) doesn't even look like the actual car that got unveiled.

So far none of the cars unveiled look like the ones on track

Picture of the top of the Merc floor. Bizarre that air can be conditioned by such an odd organic shape. It looks like something you would find in the trash, a failed carbon layup.

They tried something similar last year to trap air under with a vortex. Maybe better luck this time around.

Mercs floor has definitely been the most interesting. The front tunnels seem really high compared to others.

Max won the most races, most podiums and led the most laps. Im good with him carrying the #1

As a self proclaimed Lewis Hamilton fan, while the way the season ended stings a bit, when you look at the whole season and Max's body of work, there is no doubt that he deserved to win that championship. I recently watched some highlights of the season again, and Max really was superior on the track when it came to wheel to wheel racing against Lewis.

Lewis had plenty of opportunities to put the championship away, but he made unforced errors of his own. So while it is easy to blame Masi, you can't forget that when he had the opportunity to wrest the championship away from Max, Lewis didn't take them. It's time to move on to 2022.

Are those zip ties on the Ferrari front wing?

It's a Ferrari, not an Alfa.

For some reason I thought the wings over the front wheels were a spec part, but I guess I was wrong. Merc going for length over girth.

I like that Merc front wing shape at least from the top view.

The return of the Silver Arrows. Meet the Mercedes-AMG F1 W13 E Performance.

I wonder if the non-Performance trim level is more affordable.

Yes, it's more comfort focused and even includes a cup holder.

They dropped the Q in EQ, probably a supply chain issue getting Q badges.

2024



Why not just wait another year? Would they not be developing a car for 2024 under the current regs then have to redevelop another around a new engine package for the 2025 regs? I'm all for adding a couple more teams.
