http://www.autosport.com/live/commentary/id/2507471/formula-1-testing-2017-barcelona-f1-test-day-one Blast I'm probably going to miss testing today because I have serious and important real life stuff.

The RB is back to the pits by the way after stopping on track. Also the McLaren is in the garage with an oil problem they say will take hours to investigate, rip mklaren

I hate myself - I rather like how the RB13 looks head-on bar the ant-eater mouth. I like how the top of the side pods aren't flat like nearly every other car. The paintjob looks good even if it's predictable. It also helps that the front-on shot hides the uglier elements of the current regs.

First they sack Ron, then Our Jenson leaves, then they paint the bloody thing bright orange to appease a load of autists and now it's pissing oil all over a Spanish garage. Ron Is spinning in his grave.

1:22 was the pole lap time for Barcelona in 2016, 1:26 was the fastest racing lap. Bottas currently 1.5 sec off last year's pole time.

Thunderbirds creator Gary Anderson calling ZakLaren "shithouse": "It's not good news for McLaren-Honda to be sat in the garage chasing some kind of oil system problem. The engines coming to this test should all be test-bench run and where the engine connects up to the system of the car should be bulletproof. Using the excuse that this is testing and things will go wrong is rubbish because you only have eight days and you need to hit the ground running. Losing a big part of a day is time you will never recover, and by the time the McLaren runs again, most of its rivals will have built up a lot of mileage. We've seen a lot of finger problems for McLaren and Honda during the past few years, and maybe this is the same again. Not a good start to testing."

Let me go ahead and write the day 1 testing summary ahead of time 'Bottas leads the way, 3 tenths ahead of the Ferrari of Vettel. Bottas managed an impressive 93 laps today, running into no problems whatsoever. Sadly for Mclaren, they were only able to finish 8 laps, all of which appeared to be un-timed installation laps.'

Looks like neither the Sauber nor the Haas have an S-duct. I guess we know who's coming in 9th and 10th in the WCC this year.

The engine wouldn't break in an all-orange car. E: Especially hilarious that they did a full filming day without issue and hit problems literally the instant they began real testing. #BringBackRon wicka fucked around with this message at 13:08 on Feb 27, 2017 |

Instead of taking everything apart to chase the oil leak they're just swapping the engine out. Meanwhile I can confirm the Ferrari style fin and T-wing combo on the Williams and Haas Merc out with a shark fin this afternoon as well Tsaedje fucked around with this message at 14:49 on Feb 27, 2017 |
