Didn't the guy who won the race predictions last season base everything on that first race and never changed it afterwards?
In a way it might be right.

Brabham is back with David Brabham running the show and looking for a way back to F1. One option is to apparently buy out Force India.

I'm sure this will go at least as well as that time they took everyone's money to form an LMP1 team, used it to pay off legal debts and then shut down everything.

According to motorsport-total.com, Ricciardo binned the RB14 during shakedown. Not the best start into the season.

e: I'm sure Marko finds a way to blame this on Renault

Indeed, they remove the side impact structure. RBR only did it (very poorly) on the launch pic where the car sits in the shop.

WARNING! INTRUDERS DETECTED


I like the colours, looks better than last season's car, which managed to look rear end despite a scheme that's great on paper (blue/white/gold, think of the Rothmans liveries).

Like Williams they are going with a white halo and that black shape on the bottom half to make the halo flow a bit better on the silhouette.

I recommend reading Marc Priestley's book if you haven't already, Wicka. There is a fantastic anecdote about Ron having a meltdown over a haircut that didn't align with McLaren's brand values.

They got the reveal first though. They should have just made it all red, and let whoever else wanted a red car figure something else out.
