Ferrari have a big loving Ray Ban logo on the side, it's not some crazy thing to have a fashion brand on an F1 car. I mean there was a whole Benetton team for fucks sake

Ray-Ban is owned by the largest eyewear company in the world. Meanwhile Kimoa seems more like some vanity project by Alonso.

Basically one company owns like every sunglasses brand. It's a total monopoly.

I got Ray-Bans with my vision insurance from my work #ForzaFerrari


They are not Ferrari branded because I have at least a tiny amount of taste.

I don't know which is more offensive, the Peugeot engine or Philippe Alliot.

Fun fact: The 1994 Hungarian GP is the most recent Grand Prix weekend without any Finnish drivers participating in any of the sessions! (Mika Häkkinen had a race ban for his part in the startline pileup in Germany, JJ Lehto had been sacked by Benetton and hadn't returned to Sauber yet, and Mika Salo wouldn't debut until Japan) :finland:

The orange is good. The blue is alright, but would look great if it were black or dark grey. I'm having some Ron issues with the yellow hats not being the same colour as the orange car though? I'd still buy one if they made a #22 Jense hat.

The car is on track and vroooming instead of sputtering and dying. Don't care about the colour anymore.

PHWOAAAAAAAAAAR LADS!!!! Looking like the fastest car on the grid, can't wait to see Nando making sweet sweet love to the top step of the podium each race weekend. :gizz:

OK, looking better in this pic except for all the stupid Post-it notes that someone left on the sidepods. TAKE THOSE OFF!

We've discussed this in the past but I think Alliot is the least talented driver to have a lengthy career (the guy was in the sport for 10 Years), with the exception of perhaps Jos Verstappen.

Pretty curious to see how Renault and McLaren perform in the test, or if their cars look extremely different come Australia. They have copied neither Ferrari's sidepods nor Mercedes' wheelbase, so presumably they have some other way of dealing with the turbulent flow off the front tire. Or......they might be poo poo.

I'm expecting them to perform well in the first test if they haven't announced a major sponsor by then. Whether it will be representative of their actual form is another matter

I hope that they've managed to figure something out on their own. It would be nice to see some innovation and less direct copying of the first decent solution to problems, and I would really like it if their solution ended up being better than the others somehow, giving Kimoa McLaren Renault an edge over the other teams this year. But I suspect that will not be the case, and their performance will suffer as a result, keeping them from being really competitive. Again.
