it's the start of the european leg. the development war is gonna hot up surely. i expect merc and ferrari bringing out their big guns this weekend.

[auaq]

Yep, we're back in Europe.

[jp5Touring]

I hope it gets better.

[RidgeBack]

Lots of things to look forward to:

New livery on the McLarens
New updates for virtually every team (which should make the racing a little closer - I hope).

[auaq]

Hopefully. I wasn't aware that McLaren were going to change their livery again. Maybe that's what was holding them up???

New Livery

Black with orange/red - I like it, better than the now common silver.

What the hell?? Not sure if I like it or not .....

[BoldUlysses]

I like it too. Now, if we could just Sauber to nix the butt-ugly blue/yellow livery.....

[auaq]

I like Sauber's livery.

[Stuttgart951]

Like the new McLice livery - also like Sauber's.

PS: Caption me:

[BoldUlysses]

"SOON."

That's all I got.

[auaq]

"DAT AUS"

If you know who I'm talking about .....

still no takers on that sidepod and rear wing space? i miss the west livery days....

[auaq]

I wanted the old Mecca-Honda livery.

It would be easy to spot them and be able to tell who's who.

you can never do that anymore. a car that look like a fag pack with all the health and safety these days....

[Stuttgart951]

"SOON."

That's all I got.

I chuckled at this one:

"Don't look, now, but Alonso is staring at us again..."

"Who?"

Definitely like this new livery especially sing FI doesn't have black and orange. The more different car colors the better for the casual fan. I'm excited about this race to see what upgrades people bring. Supposedly Ferrari is saying the car will be about 70% different then the car from the first 4 races.

Also LDM trying not to fade into obscurity by saying the current success is mainly him, which he has a point but cmon fade with some glory. Don't be the whining baby, which is what until his firing Ferrari was. Now they seem to be the likeable team just out there to race and keep developing even if they aren't winning.

I like the new McLaren livery. I hope they can put something together.

I'd also like to see Williams keep up and get some pace.

[auaq]

Welp, pretty sure he's now happy. Will see what happens tomorrow.

Is it just me or did Mercedes brought or reworked on their nose? It looks a lot more slimmer and simpler.

[MagneZium]

Tomorrow's race might suck as far as the top battle, as Mercs are faster in the last sector just before the straights. So Vettel will be at a disadvantage exactly before one of the best overtaking opportunities: the main straight's DRS zone.

It'll be fun to see Kimi fight to possibly get up to challenge Bottas.

[hakentt]

Spanish GP attendance is already down compared to past year. lewis, nico, Sebastian, 1 . 2 . 3 all season will kill the sport.

[MagneZium]

As we can see: it isn't just Rosberg that can't get near another car in the dirty air. Hamilton can't 'just pass' the guy in front either even if he's faster.

And all the time he's even trying to drive closer up, he's destroying his tires, meaning Vettel will have an advantage at the end of the stint.

correct on both accounts. right now bottas is just a wall. nobody can pass that guy.

[m3fuz]

Decent race - happy that Nico won instead of Lewis, but not for any specific reason. Looking forward to Monaco coming up.
