Yes, but they’ll go through the motions of pretending otherwise though.

I was hoping he would have retired

Alfa-Romeo/Ferrari C41

Red Bull/Honda RB16B

Mercedes W12

Alpine/Renault A521

I'm ready for some action on track. Won't be long.

10 days to Pre-Season Testing
23 days to Bahrain FP1

Like the Livery on the Alpine and McLaren, the Mercedes W2 livery does not look good. What will matter is pace on track.

I’ve always liked the livery of the Alfa sponsored cars, this year is no exceptive. Agree that the Alpine Renault is strikingly beautiful. I think the AMG/Merc is beautiful too.

The RBR is a bit meh, just more of the same as what they've had for years.
Wish the Merc went back to silver.
Quite like the MCL, Alfa & Alpine.
The AT is a mah for me.
Looking forward to seeing the Aston Martin & Williams.
Not expecting anything groundbreaking from Ferrari or Haas.

Aston Martin/Mercedes AMR21

Haas/Ferrari VF-21

I really like the Aston Martin Livery, and they seem to have done quite a bit to develop the car compared to some others. Apparently they got a free upgrade token because they had simply used the Mercedes rear end in 2021 - the tech walk thru is pretty interesting, hope it performs well. I’m a McLaren fan and think Aston Martin and the rest of the field is going to be a tight race - curious if Aston’s development will push them up to challenge Red Bull. Will be an interesting year with the new Honda Engine, Merc engine on McLaren, and the development everyone is showing vs. change in areo.

That Red Bull Honda looks great!

I put the AT & Haas at the bottom on looks.
Looking forward to seeing the Williams.

Hoping Bottas really brings it this year & hopeful McLaren does well with the MBZ PU.

Curious to see how Vettel does in a MBZ powered car from a smaller team than he's accustomed to (except for maybe his year with STR).

Sad to see Haas, a team that started out as an American F1 operation, decorated in the Russian flag.
I understand why, but also surprised the FIA allowed it considering the Russians being banned from sporting events this year. That may cause them some trouble in some countries.
Hopefully the Ferrari engine will produce competitive power this year. Hard to know if last year was just a one year secret penalty or what. All the talk about new engine stuff may just be to cover for being allowed to return to more normal settings after their time in the penalty box. All 3 teams with those engines had a similar loss and potentially will also benefit this year.
