    Ha, touche! You are quite right.

    LeClerc caused the red flag but the pit closing was caused by the Haas.

    Well, I actually think the opposite, I´m surprised about that the marketing guys at Mercedes allowed this.

    I suppose that if they were being beaten by Ferrari they´d give a **** about their ****ing 1000 GPs

    So did they actually respray the car in red?

    Reason I'm asking is that this is not a run of the mill Merc where they can just substitute one for another. The thing is loaded on the inside with special stuff.

    Car livery looks better than the racing suits.

    looks like a grade 6 art project. Good to see they put equal amounts into everything they do this year!!!

    So lets see if i understand, they have spent a lot of time and effort into repainting the car and all the other items in its design, including board meetings to decide the scheme, yet the car is a donkey....... Incredible!

    It will be the prettiest car at the back of the grid. Good effort team Ferrari.

    I'd be happier with its 1000th GP and a win

    What can Brown do for you?

    Deliver a F1 car 2 minutes behind the competition? No problemo.

    I love the "throwback" helmet livery of Ferrari's F1 cars. Looks way cool.

    Oh, c´mon... relax, if you bite your tongue by accident you´ll poison yourself.

    That livery probably was designed months ago and putting some vynil on the car is not going to bankrupt the team. Even Williams put some stickers for their home race, so I think Ferrari can afford to do it for theirs.

    This helmet looks like gift wrap to a toy store on Christmas

    I perfectly understand the frustration of tifosi who see their team unable to produce aerodynamic evolutions for six months and who finds the time to repaint a car and to redo the racing suits. Even if it remains marginal at the financial level.

    Yeah, I got it but it´s irrational: painting the car is not going to do any difference but will bring some PR clicks, something well needed now given the lack of results.

    Anyway, this probably was decided even before the season started.
