The nokia 3310 was originally launched in the year 2000, which coincidentally matches the first year of Ferrari dominance.

Fast forward to 2017 and a new nokia 3310 reached the market, with a new modern design. Coincidence? I don’t think so

The British people defy the thread once again


quote:

The votes are in and it's an overwhelming win for Mercedes, with 36% of you choosing the W08 as the looker of 2017.

The looks that made the Arrows such a stunner back in 2002 have helped McLaren into an unlikely second place with 18% of the vote, while striking Toro Rosso has to take third.

Williams and Ferrari, meanwhile, once pin ups of the pit lane, rank surprisingly low.

This speaks volumes about the idiocy behind the McLaren livery: https://www.instagram.com/p/BRBXLnOBSZG/?taken-by=mclaren

Yeah, the contrast between gloss and matte finishes admittedly looks cool. It is also impossible to notice most of the time.

It's too bad McLaren aren't publicly traded. I would guess their biggest asset aside from their building probably is the Honda contract.

I can't wait to see budget figures leaked again. They're typically broken down by sponsors, "partners," and FOM money. Red Bull, Mercedes, and McLaren all were at arond $460m last year, but the latter two both had like $200m in "partners" money, because they're being heavily bankrolled by Mercedes corporate and Honda.

I'm going out to buy a can of Red Bull Cola right loving now. That's the best looking car so far. Bump nose, not light bulb shaped from overhead, good integration of shark fin, cool colours.

The Haas looked great when it was all dark, then when it got out on track the battleship grey was a let down.

The new Haas looks okay, but I'd really love to see the team go full American throwback and make the car poo poo-brown like a '70s Buick.
