    The Mercedes is the best looking new car. The Ferrari is not at all attractive to me. Perhaps it will be competitive.

    Indeed: see my post #154 above:

    "Well...italian journalist Leo Turrini has already seen it...here are his own words, from his blog:
    ....L'ho vista. E non mi piace.
    Ma se vince...
    (I have seen it. and I don’t like it. But, should she win…)"

    And I have to say the car I am REALLY waiting for is the Red Bull...

    Sorry folks, but yes, each time the regs change, what I am waiting for first and foremost is what will come out of Adrian Newey's brain...

    I think it's a pretty good looking car to be honest.

    But I'm also most looking forward to Red Bulls effort.

    And some of his fanboys again will explain us why it is actually his achievement...;)
    So you say you are a fan of F1 and you are not really a fan of Hamilton (as you just do that to oppose the "forums bias") but yet you hope to see a boring season with again the same car superior to all the others??? Makes no sense to me but to each his own...

    I hope the "don't judge a book by its cover" applies in this case. It's not the prettiest but it's not the agliest either. Fingers crossed.

    When looking at this car, I've got "that early 2014 feeling" again.

    Car was ugly, and we all know how well it went...

    Truth is all cars look like ****...so much for more agressive an dgood looking cars, they're all ugly as hell, and to make it worst, they're bigger, so you can see it's uglyness even better! and again, bigger there will be less room for overtaking in tight spots....all wrong agin...cars should be smaller and nimble, not look like fat cows...oh crap, just burn them all..

    They kept white colours on the Ferrari.

    So no victory this year for the Scuderia...

    The Mclaren looks better than the Ferrari. No matter as the track and performance will be the focus. Overall they do look somewhat different but not radically.

    That front wing will leave hundreds of shards of carbon on the track each time the McLaren, starting from the last row of the grid, will try to overtake another car at the start...

    The Ferrari is pretty much as expected but that Mclaren looks like the work of a back runner.

    Awful effort. Cheesy.

    That Ferrari looks a bit of a dog. Hope it goes better than it looks...

    Since when did Stevie Wonder start working for McLaren? That paint job is horrendous!

    The mac loks like ****..perfectly suitable for Alonso...these guys are so dumd..they just had to paint the whole car in orange..it would look much better...but no, they had to copy Ferrari and add the black...so it turned into a turd...hope it catches fire in every single race...but just on Alonso's car...
