Meanwhile Alonso is safely testing McLaren prototypes at the simulator because Ron Dennis cares about the safety of his drivers, unlike the crazy Italians.

Good thing he switched teams.

They should paint the McLaren each week to match Alonso's choice of sunglasses that particular race weekend.

Serious question. If a team wanted to do this, could they?

Has anyone talked about the haas concept livery yet? Haas posted it on their twitter so it might be legitimate.



(if so i didnt notice)

I think it looks great. Really anything but red, silver and black would be fine.

It wouldn't have the Ferrari logo on it. The customer engined cars never do, do they?

Also, it's not going to get on the grid any way.

I'm so sick of hearing about the Ferrari FXXK. It sure would be nice if we in the thread agreed to stop covering the Ferrari FXXK because my life would be much happier if the Ferrari FXXK just took a hint and disappeared

And I'm not a fan of the car either

Its either the Ferrari FXXK or the Infiniti SUV Vettel 4x World Champion Director of Performance influenced limited edition with (1) rear spoiler added.

I'd prefer the first tbh.

There are some great stories in that article:

quote:

“I had my 21st birthday party the day after the 1964 British GP, and just about the entire F1 grid came. BP were making a film about Mike Hailwood and wanted to show him relaxing, so they said they’d foot the bill if we let a film crew in. But the crew got so plastered they were incapable of doing any filming. BP had to pay for another party and and do it all again.

and

quote:

“Just before midnight I was passing the pits when I felt the right rear tyre go flat. The worst place – a whole lap to get back to the pits. I slowed right down, but you think you’re crawling and you’re probably still doing 100mph. On the Mulsanne there were sparks coming out the back, and I thought, I’m going to have to change this tyre. The Ferraris carried a spare wheel and a tool kit with jack, hammer and torch, so halfway down the straight I pulled onto the verge. I was crawling about at the back with cars coming past at two hundred and something miles an hour. I got the back open, found the torch – and the battery was dud. So I just had the passing headlights to see by. I got the hammer and waited for some lights and then took a swipe at the knock-off hubcap – and the head came off the hammer and disappeared. So I thought I’d get the thing jacked up and try to get the wheel off with one of the spanners. Then I found they’d forgotten to put the jack in..."

are my favourites.

correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't the nose the only major technical change from 2014? i know they banned FRIC as well but that doesn't seem like it'd be too difficult replace. i'm just finding it hard to believe that manor could possibly miss the season if they're trying at all to upgrade their chassis.

There's some new side-impact regulations too, I think the anti-intrusion panels have been extended upwards which is probably somewhere between a ballache and impossible to do on a 2014 car.
